A member asked:

I weigh myself when i wake up in the morning. noticed that i lost 5-6 lbs in the past three weeks (138 to 132 lbs, height 511). is this cause for concern or just watch?

Concern: Unintended weight loss is a cause for concern. If your eating habit has not changed drastically, it would be appropriate to see your doctor for an in person evaluation. Wish you good health!

I notice that when I weigh myself in the morning I will weight 175-176. If I weigh myself at night it will be 179-180. Is this concerning? Is it normal to weigh 4 pounds or so less in the morning? I feel great otherwise. Dr Google made me worry?
