Have you ever weighed before you go to bed and then weighed the next morning before breakfast. How much did you lose?

    I've lost as much as 7lbs overnight (and kept the 7lbs off). I have a weird way of losing weight, I think. LOL I tend to lose it in chunks.

    Yes, it is all water (breathed, perspired and urinated out) and food gone in any bowel movement you might have first thing in the morning. The changes can be quite large, which is why the general suggestion is weigh yourself first thing in the AM following going to the bathroom but before eating or drinking anything. After that point, once your weight throughout the day will go up because of what you eat and drink.

    Yeah, I've lost & I've gained. I've found that if I eat ham or anything with a ton of sodium, I always gain in my sleep.. That makes for a bad morning..

    It's pretty normal, I lose up to 3 lbs but more commonly 1-2 lbs. It's not all from urination and bowel movement though. If you think about it, you sleep 8hr (or try to) and you are effectively fasting but your body still needs energy to be alive though not as much as while awake (that basic amount is your BMR). So some of that weight is also just your bodily function costs.

    Mine wasn't just water weight - I kept those 7lbs off (and heck.. they are still off - along with a lot more "7lbs"). Like I said, I lose in large chunks. I lost 4lbs this week and for being VERY close to my ideal body weight for my build (and at my goal weight) - that is HUGE.

    I have no idea how it happens, but I can tell you that it does. I've had it happen to me many times in this journey. And I always keep it off. I'm really unsure what happens - but it DOES happen (and it isn't all water weight).

    I don't usually weigh at night, but when I have, I'm pretty consistently 2-3 lbs. more than my morning weight.
