Last week I did my morning weigh-in, and noticed that my scale's battery was low. I stopped at the store on the way home from school drop-off and picked up new batteries, installed them, and then hopped back on the scale to make sure they were working. And suddenly, 90 minutes after my first weigh-in, I weighed 1/2 lb more? In that 90 minutes, I had not eaten or drunk anything -- not a raisin, not a sip of water. I was wearing the exact same clothes I'd worn for the first weigh-in, leggings and a t-shirt, with nothing extra in my pockets. But 1/2 lbs more.
I was so confused by this that I replicated it a few more times over the week, and each time, same result -- weighing more later in the day even if I have not eaten or drunk anything, and even if both weigh-ins are completely nude.
I'm not bothered by this from a weight loss perspective, because I'm making steady progress, but I'm confused as heck from a science perspective. I always knew people weighed less in the morning than the evening, but I assumed that's because, like, we spent the day eating, but we woke up on an empty stomach/used the bathroom/etc. How is it possible to weigh more after just walking around breathing?
