Where is my weight going overnight?

493 viewsBiologyOther

I’m on a diet and I weigh myself every morning. Last night I weighed myself before bed. This morning, I weighed myself when I got up. I was 5 pounds lighter this morning than I was last night. I was a bit heavier than usual because I had had a friend over and we ate a bunch of pizza and I always drink a lot of water.

In that time all I did was sleep. I didn’t use the washroom to pee or poo or anything else that involves stuff coming out of me.

Where the hell did all of that weight go? I understand that you sweat, but 5 pounds in 9 hours? That seems crazy.

I would not weigh yourself every day, because you aren’t going to notice a difference. Try do it once a week. Your body weight can fluctuate massively throughout 24 hours, like with how much water you drink, so it seems counterintuitive to weigh everyday.
