Weighing beginning of day vs. end of day

Just curious--

How much does your weight differ from the beginning of the day to the end of the day?

In conversation with a friend, I mentioned I'm usually about 3-5 lbs heavier at the end of the day and she says she has noticed up to 10 lbs. difference. I think I would be shocked if I saw that big a difference!

How about other MFPers?

    I'm usually 3-4 lbs heavier at night compared to the next morning.

    I see up to 10lbs, but I drink a LOT of water throughout the day, and it's not always that high.

    I never weigh at the end of the day - what's the point in that?

    Generally four pounds heavier in the evening.

    10 pounds doesn't sound hardly possible -- that's a gallon and a quarter of water..

    Probably an average of 5 lb give or take.

    I've never seen anything as high as 10 lb for myself, though, even on days that I eat to excess.

    Sometimes I seem to be heavier in the morning than in the night. I haven't been able to figure it out.

    Usually maybe 2-4lbs heavier at night if I happen to weigh myself which I usually try to shy away from doing at night :wink:

    I've varied by 5 lbs in one day.

    It varies mostly because of water weight though

    It's more convenient for me, I'm in a hurry in the morning - the point is the same as weighing in the morning - to track my progress.
    I can't see how it matters if one weighs in evening or morning - just pick one and stick to it.

    It really doesn't matter, it just depends on when you eat/ when you drink water. People are saying 3-4 pounds because they usually don't eat before weigh in the morning but weigh in after eating in the night. Eating/Water adds temporary weight so your true weight is on an empty stomach.
