In the case of obese people exercising, it's simply because they burn more calories as they are 'lifting' a greater mass; a person weighing 300lbs has to use more energy to run a mile than a person weighing 150lbs, as they have to work harder to transport a greater mass. Also, morbidly obese people tend to have a lot of trapped water, which causes bloating etc; a lot of weight lost in the incipent stages of a diet will be water loss. This is why anorexic girls who take laxatives put themselves at serious risk- they are losing water, not fat, and are dehydrating themselves.

Yes, my hubby heard on the radio that it does.  I also feel that when you are asleep you cannot be eating.  The longer people stay awake the more they eat.  The less people sleep the fatter they get.  Americans have slept less and less and they have become more and more obese.  During sleep your body conducts a lot of healing and recovery activities.  With no sleep it can't repair the damage.  I don't know the exact mechanism why it helps you lose weight, but it came from a reputable source (NPR)

My youngest step daughter used to wet her bed in the early hours of the morning.  We stopped this by getting her up just before we went to bed around 11pm and taking her to the toilet.  Also restricted drinks after 5pm.  During the day, we just asked every so often if she needed to go to the loo.  And if too longer gap between visits she had to go and try even if she thought she didnt need to go.  Also the bed wetting and "accidents" were down played to being no big deal so as to not associate negative stuff with the whole thing.  Most kids either get too caught up in what they are doing or having to much fun to notice they need to go to the loo or they can be stressed about other events in their lives.

My weight can swing by as much as 10lbs from retained water.  It actually got worse when I wasn't eating enough.

Sounds like some serious wishful thinking to me, combined with some misinterpreted observation.\n\nIf you weigh yourself right before bed and then first thing in the morning, you will find that you've lost a couple of pounds overnight.  However, you'll find by that evening that the weight is back.\n\nMakes it look like the best way to lose weight is to sleep, eh?  But it's just water weight.  You go to bed hydrated, you wake up dehydrated. Bummer.\n\nSleeping for a few days may net you more weight loss, but some of that will be a loss in muscle ton, which will result in making it even harder to lose more weight and a good probability of gaining more weight than you lost.\n\nThe best way to lose weight is to stop trying to lose weight.  Instead, concentrate on improving your health.  Yeah, yeah, exercise and eat right.*  There's a lot of details missing in those four words, but the gist is that any attempt to lose weight that doesn't involve those activities are just ways of screwing your health for looks.  \n\nThe reason that I say stop trying to lose weight?  Weight is too complex a system to control reliably and any method that involves looking at a scale regularly will have a very good chance of just frustrating you to the point of giving up.

My first son, I lost the weight easily...with my second son it was harder. I cut my portion sizes down a little, drank alot more water, and did alot of walking (cause that was easiest for me...just put the kids in the stroller and go). It give you time with your kids and it's the best to get back to pre-baby weight. You can try sit ups in the evening before you go to bed to tighten your tummy. I did alot of this and was back in my old jeans before my son turned 9 months old. It's not fast, but you do see results after a few months. I didn't have the time to keep a regular workout.

Have you spoken with your doctor about this?  Perhaps you need to stop nursing and give her a bottle before bed.  Make sure she is good and full when she goes down?  I'm thinking she's just hungry and needs more food before bedtime.  But, I am not a doctor.  So I suggest you talk this over with her pediatrician.

First of all, you are not eating enough.  I know it sounds controversial to eat when you are trying to lose weight, but when you only eat once a day your metabolism slows down and your body goes into "self-starvation" mode.  It basically tells itself to store whatever food you DO eat as fat--it is a defense mechanism in case you really are starving.  You should be eating several small meals (approx. 300-400 calories each) about every 3-4 hours.  This will keep you from binging when you finally sit down and eat something.  (Notice I said "sit down"...take the time to enjoy your meals)  Eat a mixture of complex carbohydrates (WHOLE GRAIN bread, cereal or pasta), protein (lean meat, eggs, or dairy), and a little healthy fat (a handful of almonds, some olive oil or Peanut butter) to keep you satisfied and fuller longer. I healthy diet isn't rocket science.  Fill yourself up on fruits, vegetables, and grains so that you dont feel the need to binge and eat fatty cakes, and cookies etc...\n\nAs a mother I am sure you are active with your kids--keep being active!!  All activity burns calories, whether you are on a treadmill or running around with the kids.

It is not so much gaining but the rapid losing for the weigh in.  They will dehydrate theirselves sometimes to make weight and it is healthy to gain that back.

Y'all may not want to be out like that at night.  Not eating and then exercising hard is NOT GOOD for you, and is a crappy way to try to force yourself to lose weight.

The only easy solution is to eat more food. Snack more in between meals and before you go to bed. Try not to go without eating for more than 2-3 hours.\n\nBasically the more you snack the more likely you are to gain weight.\n\nIf you have seen all the adverts for loosing weight why not do the opposite of what they say. Makes sense to me.

Well Drinking water can help you loose weight. but you can over hydrate yourself causing water gain.  Try drinking a large glass of ice water before you eat. That will kick up your metabolism and make you feel full. Also try iced tea's... Tea is a natural diuretic and will help you loose water weight. Good Luck!

Diets are unrealistic. Once you go off them, you gain your weight back. Try cutting out certain foods from your daily intake, and exercise, its the best way to loose weight the proper way

most people's brains are more receptive a little while after they've been up and about, had breakfast etc. So biologically speaking, it's stupid to make ppl roll out of bed and arrive at school half-asleep - just a waste of taxpayer money. Read the link below.
