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.

A large part of it (~3lbs) is probably the scale. Most of those digital floor scales are not accurate they try to hide this. If you get off the scale and then get back on, if it is within a couple pounds, it will just show you the same weight. Try this experiment get off the scale and then pick up something that weighs about 1lb. Get back on and it will just show you the previous weight.
