How much does your weight fluctuate throughout one day?

Bought a scale since I am working on losing weight and was surprised at home much my weight changes throughout 1 day. Generally I weigh 5-7 lbs more at night than in the morning. My weight gradually increases throughout the day, after each meal or drink.

I'm wondering if this is as extreme for everyone or just me?

I have an adrenal disorder which causes my blood to misuse sodium and pottasium. I am having very invasive tests and probably surgery. I'm thinking that might make a difference too.

So just out of curiosity's sake, how much does your weight change throughout 1 day?

Update:

I may have confused some people, I'm not asking about how to lose weight. I am losing weight just fine. I was just surprised at how my weight changed so much within 1 day. I have many dr. appts because I have medical conditions (that I have no control over). And they always take my weight, but its so inaccurate because 1 week I weight 5 lbs more than I did the week before simply because it was a different time of the day. I never had a home scale before, I guess it just surprised me.

    5-7 lbs as well depending carbs, sodium and water intake... My weight can even fluctuate 10 pounds in 2-3 days.

    It's just normal, a 3,500 calories surplus/deficit is needed to gain/lose one real pound so unless you starve yourself or you binge it almost never happen in a single day.
