The Magical 5 pounds?

Have any of you magically either gained or lost 5 lbs. overnight, I know it sounds strange but it has happened to me, both lost and gained. At first I thought  i was crazy, but i stepped off the scales and then back on.   Anybody else have this happen?

Can we say water retention?  We are women, you know, and it can suck!

I've never lost 5 lbs. overnight, but I have gained that much. Water retention, for me, but, boy, is it scary when it happens.

I know I do that alot. It's normal for me.....When I sit for long, my ankles swell and I will have to pop a water pill...but that is not what this is....I do it without the water pill too....Last night I got on the scale and wanted to cry...because I had gained 4lbs...This morning it was right back down and I only got up twice to go to the bathroom.....
I normally get up 4 or 5 times a night....expecially when my sugar is high. So in answer to your question.....Yep, it can happen, and can be common. Why?? I sure don't know!

oh yeah.....it happens!!!  You aren't crazy!

Yeppers, happens to me all the time... When I drink drink drink my water, I can lose 5+ more pounds over night and gain it too...

Good luck..

I've only ever GAINED 5 pounds!  Never LOST 5 pounds...!  Sigh!

That's why I only weigh at the doctor's office.  Weighing before you go to bed and then upon arising.....that's a bit much isn't it?
