A member asked:

Lately i gain 12lbs during the day then down to my usual 115lbs by the next am; normally only gain 1-2lbs from food/water; why the huge flux lately?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight gain: Large gains in weight overnight is certainly fluid related. Please see your doctor and have urine checked.
