I have lost 5lbs in one day (I'm 15) is this normal??

Question

Okay so I am 15 and I weighed myself 24 hours ago and I weighed 8,6 and I checked 3 times!! I stood back on the scales today 3 times just to be sure and it said 8,1 each time!!! Okay so I haven't pooped in 24 hours and i know that you can change like 1lb in a day but why have I lost so much weight in a day!! I'm worried I guess! I went for a run and I ate a little less than normal but nothing too serious!!🤔😶

Answer

Sometimes it's simply to do with your body, water storage and other technical things. I tend to lose like 3lbs over night then they're back on by midday.

Answer

Did you drop a five pound deuce?

Answer

When you eat you gain weight just drinking a cup of water can add a pound so if you ate less than normal that day and were exercising i wouldnt be worried

Answer

Fluctuation is normal. Normally mind goes up or down by 2-3 lbs within 24 hours. Depends on water weight, bowel movements, when you've eaten last, if you've exercised and were sweating...
5 lbs seems like a lot but I'm sure it's different for many people.

Answer

It also makes a difference where you're at on your cycle. I wouldn't worry as long as you're being healthy and feel healthy

Answer

The best time to weigh yourself is in the morning before you eat anything. That will always be when you are lightest. So it is completely normal no matter what age you are.

Answer

it's pretty normal i'm 13 almost 14 and this happens to me in the morning or after i eat i get bloated easily and i weigh like 5 pounds more then usual

Answer

Weight fluctuates throughout the day. Normal.

Answer

It's probably from water storage in your body, the amount of time either before or after you ate something, and the scale itself. I personally don't trust any scale besides the ones at the doctors office, because my one at home is always off.

Answer

When I wake up I'm usually like 4 lbs lighter than I am when I go to bed🤷🏻‍♀️ and I'm 18
