Ht. 5' 4", Wt. 205 - Hey, I am so confused. I stepped on the scale this morning and I was 200. Last evening, I was 205. How could I have lost 5 pounds overnight? Is this normal?

I think that is why you aren't supposed to way yourself one a daily basis. If you do, sudden fluxations could cause you to become discouraged. It might be a better idea to either stop weighing yourself (sounds weird, but if you do what you were before and just drop the scale you'll know if it is still working when people tell you so.) or try to reduce it to maybe twice a week if not only once.

Yeah, it's normal. Weight fluctuates a lot through the day. Mine goes up about 6 pounds a day, then it goes back down overnight. Dont worry about it.
