What is the most weight you lost in a single day?

After gorging myself on an obscene amount of Sushi and Sashimi last night, I weighed myself to find that I gained about 5 pounds from the day before. This did not concern me as I could tell that most of this weight was still sitting in my stomach based on the fact that every time I burped I could still smell and taste the fish YUCK!

In any event, I was scheduled for today a serious of vigorous workouts and by the end of the day I not only lost all that I gained, but then some.

Which brings me to my question... What is the highest amount of weight you lost in a single day? I may have set a record, by losing over 9 pounds between morning and night.

    5 lbs of water.
  • You know, I may have set the record yesterday also for the most I gained in a single day. I'll have to make a note of that next time it happens.

    I'm guessing a majority of what you lost is water from sweating and all the food you ate passing out of your system. so fat loss, about a pound.

    4.5 lbs two days after Christmas.
  • remember though that just because you gained weight doesnt mean you gained fat.. 1 gallon of water is 8lbs....thats why its so important to get a scale that breaks down body fat percentages etc
  • When I was on Jenny Craig and playing in a rock band, I dropped 8 pounds in one nite when we were playing a club in Georgetown. It was very inspiring!
  • Yah, I know I didn't lose fat. I just posted this for ****s and giggles. It is not about the fat lost, it is just about the number.

    3 pounds lost, 7 pounds gained. :blushing: I bloat easily and the water weight comes off fairly easily as well.

    I don't have a one day total but when I finally got my fat *kitten* to the gym 2 1/2 years ago, I lost 17.5 pounds in the first week. My trainer just about had a fit! Needless to say week 2 and 3 were rather anticlimatic...it wasn't until week 4 that the pounds started to come off again.

    Almost every night I go to sleep and weigh myself... the next morning, I typically weigh 3-7 pounds less than the night before

    I have lost 5lbs after a good run. I sweat a lot :blushing:

    Actually, tomorrow I am going for my long run, so I am going to weight myself tonight (heaviest after the day) and after just to see if I beat you.

    Well when it's that time of the month I can gain 10lbs in one day and lose 12.5lbs in one day, just depends on how much work I've done and how bloated I am HAHA!
  • About 170lbs the day I got rid of my ex husband.

    I think you may be the winner!

    11lbs! Will admit it was with help from a diuretic tablet...I was suffering from major water retention, couldn't move my ankles so popped one of my pills and piddled for England for 6 hours!

    Well, if you want to have a contest the we should set rules. Weigh in when you wake up, after you do your bathroom routine and before you eat. Then let the weight loss begin. 2nd weigh in at your discretion.

    See, you've caught on to my advantage. LOL. I am still going to just to see, but I don't think I'll beat 9lbs with the rules.
