How is it possible to gain or lose 6 pounds in water weight ?

Asked by partyrock (3870points) January 6th, 2012

How is it possible to lose or gain 6 pounds, within a few hours?

My weight in the morning was 120, then for lunch I had really big Japanese noodles, then when I went to get weighed, the scale said 126. How is that even possible?

A few hours later, when I got home, I checked and I was at 125. Then later on that evening I checked and I was back down to 120.

Could 6 or 5 pounds have all been water weight, or the big meal that I had ?
