Felt terrible that I ate two servings of pumpkin pie right before I went to bed. I was so happy to see I lost 1.6 pounds in a day, despite of what I ate before bed. :)

    Meal timing is irrelevant. If you really wanted you could eat nothing but pumpkin pie and still lose weight, as long as you maintain a calorie deficit :P I generally eat ice cream before bed, myself.

    This is awesome! I am going to watch my calories and indulge every once in a while.

    No way you can lose 1.6 lbs in a day. That would mean a 5600 calorie deficit in a day. Your metabolism is likely under 2000 calories a day. So even if you eat nothing you won't lose that much. Except in water, and *kitten* (sorry, it's the truth).

    It's water fluctuation, hormone balance, etc.

    Take weight averages as a basis(such as last seven days), not daily fluctuations.
