A member asked:
Is it possible to gain 2-3 pounds overnight and then drop back to normal again? im trying to lose weight and for some reason this happens some days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water weight.: This can happen quite easily with water weight gain, such as after a salty meal. We can seemingly gain up to five pounds overnight due to water weight - this weight tends to go away very quickly. We cannot gain that much actual body weight, or lose it for that matter, that quickly.
