Water weight

Everyone says the first pounds you lose are water weight. How do you know it's water weight and not other weight? Just wondering, thanks.

    Mostly because of how fast it comes off. I can gain/lose 3 pounds overnight. In fact I just did. I went crazy with yard work on Sunday, like 6 hours of hard work. Monday I was very sore and up 3 pounds. I took a full rest day, intentionally did nothing and drank lots of water. Today I was down 3.2 pounds. That's an extreme case but I can do the same with a 4-5000 sodium day.
