how does one loose 8lbs overnite?

**Sepsis** · 03-04-2006, 09:48 AM

so, i'm going to bed last night and the last thing i do before i lay down is weigh myself. i have a digital scale and weigh myself three times everytime to avoid any errors. the scale read 208lbs everytime. i go to sleep and wake up seven hours later. take a piss and weigh myself again on the same scale. remarkably it now reads 200, 200, and 201lbs. can anyone explain how one could do that in their sleep. oh, and i refuse to believe that i pissed out 8lbs upon waking!

Your always the lighest in the morning, thats why you feel flat when you wake up. Tonight you'll be up at 208 again dont worry

because your body is full of water. you loose alot during the night time.

. Every time you exhale you're getting rid of mositure.
Not to mention your body does burn calories while you sleep

you dont necessarly sweat off 8lbs, but dont forget... you also havnt taken in any water or food for many hours

**timvds** · 03-04-2006, 11:31 AM

nah, who says you have to sweat it.. It's used so to speak. Exhaled.

**Sepsis** · 03-04-2006, 11:37 AM

1 gallon of water wights approx. 10lbs. so while i sleep i exhale and sweat nearly a gallon?

**timvds** · 03-04-2006, 11:39 AM

i thought a gallon was 8 lbs.. and yes it is used/exhaled/excreted overnite.

**lucabratzi** · 03-04-2006, 12:42 PM

i dont understand it either, me and my friend discussed this a while ago...yeah ur burning cal's but were does that wieght go, i need an expert on this...

**Mizfit** · 03-04-2006, 01:33 PM

water weight.. or different place on the scale that ur standing:P

**Kärnfysikern** · 03-04-2006, 01:41 PM

can only be water exhaled, sweated and pissed out like the others say.

When you burn it off, it leaves as vapor through your skin and breathing. If you lived on the equator near the beach, you'd be coverd in sweat all the time. Trust us, it's just leaving your body over night.

**NotSmall** · 03-04-2006, 02:20 PM

Did you shit the bed?

**BeerBaron** · 03-04-2006, 06:10 PM

haha i noticed it was a digital scale. long shot but sometimes cell phones and other electronic devices interfere with that shit...

**GQ-Bouncer** · 03-04-2006, 07:24 PM

probably a scale issue

**RuhlFreak55** · 03-04-2006, 07:45 PM

yeah i'd say a scale issue.....losing 8 pounds in a night seems a little far fetched to me......unless someone came and cut something out of you......maybe you should undergo hypnosis and see if you have any lost memories

**SwoleCat** · 03-04-2006, 08:24 PM

Water/glycogen of course....

**heavyrotation92** · 03-04-2006, 08:52 PM

one gallon of water weighs 8 pounds, just a fyi
