    The real question is, 6 lbs of WHAT? Muscle or fat? start tracking your body fat percentage, cause that's the only way to know what to change.

    I once lost 9 pounds over night, it was a combination of high sodium and exercise for several days in a row and my period ending. I was floored but it was back to normal within a day.
