i feel, look and weigh less in the morning,
within 30 mins, seems like my gut drops out and feel chunkier
now... more importantly....
i have tested over the last week
i weigh some specific weight at say 8am within 1 minute of getting out of bed,
now i deliberately dont eat or drink anything for 3 hours (just to test) and weight 200grams more at the 11am weigh,
why is that?
I know my waist is smallest upon waking, then a half inch or more bigger after a few hours, whether I eat or not.

exactly..........
check your weight next time...........strange
Can't tell you exactly but it probably has something to do with your water balance..
Everybody looks at his best in the morning :)
Sleep vertically, I bet things will be different.

true (athsetically) but how does that explain the say 1 LB difference in weight gain???
well your supposed to sleep for 8 hours,supposing you do thats 8 hours without food (some people dont eat within 4 hours of bed) you also sweat most when sleeping... dont think its that hard to figure out dude :)

DUDE - reread my post, im not just talking looks , but more importantly weight gain scale wise....
and also you missed it, if you dont eat for 12 hours during the day, you dont LOOK thinner....
only after sleeping, first thing in the moring,
im not here to debate it, just ask im curious as to why 3 hours after waking, without even a sip of water do i look fatter and weight more.
can you explain that?????????????????

actually if i go 12 hours without eating during the day i look thinner/less bloated than when i eat every 2-3 hous.
i dont know why you weigh more. You say you weigh 200grams more... thats not much at all its just a slight weight fluctuation. Theres been days ive ate a stupid amount and weigh less in the night than in the morning despite looking more bloated.

Dunno about the weight gain man, if you're not eating anything. I've never experienced that. Without putting anything into your body, the only thing that will make you gain "weight" (not mass) is the effect of gravity. There would have to be a 0.038 m/s^2 difference to account for a 1 lb gain on the scale at 252 pounds. Since 9.8/252 = 0.038 (9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth).
So, I don't know, maybe around noon the gravitational force is stronger than as the sun is rising (when you wake up).

yeah that was what is was thinking,
so i recon, it might have something to do with my scales,
anyway, it was just thrown out there,
after 12 hours of being awake without eating i feel thinner, but dont look any thinner in the mirror.
Gravitational field strength changes with height not time of day, so unless u change the height from ground/sea level it won't affect it and even then it's marginal, I like ur thinking tho lol
My theory is that blood oxygen levels rise significantly when you get out of bed and probably get to normal waking levels within an hour or two and makes you weigh a bit more. You do have a lot of blood and tissue in your body so maybe it is possible. Not really sure how much of a difference that could make but it is literally the only thing that explains a mass gain without eating, drinking, etc. (it is probably just a scale malfunction, mine sometimes says two different numbers within a pound if I stand a little differently on it each time)
Most likely it's that you stood at a slightly different angle on the scale, or that as things shift in your body from being in the new vertical position, it's putting the weight in slightly different places on the scale. Remember, we aren't using scientific scales most times, your normal $20-$40 scale is not perfectly set up to weigh the same no matter the balance of what's on it.
To check this, grab a 5 pound weight. Measure your weight while holding it directly above your head. Now measure your weight holding it directly out in front of you. Then do it to each side. I'll bet you'll get some differences of weights as you move the 5lbs around, although the weight itself didn't get any heavier/lighter.
it's from the extra-terrestrial overnight anal probing that goes on. they take samples, and leave stuff behind that grows
some great replies there
Yea I always wondered this too, sometimes I would be 2 lbs less.
I didn't read a single post, but the answer is water.
And the answer to 1/2 of the threads in this section is water.
