I weigh myself EVERY morning before I eat breakfast and I am normally between 210 and 215. Yesterday I weighed in at 210, but when I weighed myself I was a devastating 220!! Any idea what could be the cause of this?

    Well first of all it's not devastating. It's a number on the scale.

    It's water weight. The only way you could have put on 10lb weight overnight is by eating 33,000 calories yesterday. I'd be stunned if you did.

    Personally I'd check the scales, are they on a hard floor or carpet.

    10lbs is a lot even if it is water. Personally I tend to ignore massive shifts like this, give it a few days and try again.

    There are a million different reasons - only worry if it stays that way.

    I can easily fluctuate 7lbs depending on what I've eaten/drunk/exercise performed etc

    Not just relating to what I did that day either - can go back days.
