What is question??: Body weight will fluctuate several pounds daily from early morning until evening, but depending on one's diet, some individuals will tend to retain water for a few days, especially if food is high in carbs or salt. Drink enough fluids to maintain a light yellow color to your urine, as dark urine would indicate that your body is trying to hold onto water either from dehydration or to balance salt.

Perhaps: It is recommend to drink eight 8oz glasses of water daily (64oz total). Depending on your baseline weight, you can see upwards of five pounds above your baseline.
