losing weight

[julesbob0303]

Just had my weigh in.  Managed to get rid of the 3 lbs I put on last week in Calis PLUS another half a pound!!!  Well pleased!!!  (Particularly as we went to see Stereophonics at the weekend - a whole day and evening of eating out and drinking! A bit of an extension to the holiday!!   )

I've obviously done a lot of tossing overnight too Scunner!   [)]

Scunner  - just googled your question and found this answer

Over night you digest and burn calories and you are Not Eating for about 7 hours. The main thing that is changing overnight is the amount of water in your system. It's amazing how much water weighs! A gallon of water weighs 8 pounds, and a pint of water (16 ounces) weighs 1 pound (in metric, 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram). This means that if you drink a 1-liter bottle of soda, you instantly gain 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) from the water! That's a big weight change, and it can happen very quickly.

Overnight, there are two processes that cause you to lose water gradually. The first is respiration. Each time you exhale, you lose a little bit of water (exhale onto a cool piece of glass and you can see this moisture). The second is transpiration through the skin, also known as sweating. Over the course of a night, both of these processes eliminate quite a bit of water.

Hope that answers your question

Thank you for that Janet. I can see from your research that I obviously sweat and breathe far too much.
