The first thing that I have to say here is that you should not weigh yourself more than once a week. Any slimming groups or clubs do weekly weigh-ins because it is impossible to measure any sort of real weight loss on a daily basis.
Put it this way, you wake up in the morning and, with clothes on, weigh around 130 pounds. You eat a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner and do some exercise. What you have eaten during the day hasn't had a chance to break down in your disgestive system, so you will have a few pounds of food and drink in your system. This is okay and nothing to worry about. It just takes a little time. Now, if you weigh yourself on a Monday night at 8pm, continue to eat healthy balanced meals and exercise regularly for a week before weighing yourself the same time the next Monday, that is the best way to see if there has been any weight loss.
I would also stress that any type of exercise has the ability to build some form of muscle mass. Running on a treadmill for example, can build muscle mass in your legs. Muscle weighs more than fat. This is why you see body builders who don't have an ounce of fat on them but weigh a LOT. A lot of people who think they are fat forget about the fact they are SUPPOSED to weigh a little more if they have muscle. Please don't lose sight of that. If you want to just burn some fat, rather than build muscle (for example if you have been advised you are clinically overweight) then you need to run on your treadmill, on a slightly lower setting so that you are just burning calories and not over working the muscles.
Lastly, I want to say that there are a LOT of people out there who say they would give anything to be skinny. Please try not to take this too far. Having been in hospital myself with anorexia in the past, I can tell you it is NOT a pleasent experience. It's okay to be healthy and to get yourself to within a healthy weight but skinny should never be your goal. How you look isn't everything so try to be happy with who you are and how you look and don't let it get out of hand.

In the morning because you havn't eaten or drank anything when you weighed yourself you weighed less butas you ate and weighed your self again you weigh more.BUTTT you burn it off and lose those few pounds over night so when you weigh yourself the next day it will be around the same weight as the last morning - and your morning weight is your actual weaight

This morning you weighed less because you hadn't eaten or drinken anything yet. You're not going to lose pounds in matters of hours. Don't weigh yourself so often, try only weighing yourself once a week. Otherwise, you'll become obsessed. I know this through experience. Keep up the exercise, eat healthily, and you should be fine. Good luck!

Don't worry, if you are properly hydrating yourself, then it is normal that you should weigh more after you run. You won't see results for a few weeks at least. You would have to run 35 miles in order to burn a pound. But if you run like 2 miles a day for 2 or 3 weeks, then you'll have accomplished that. Also, make sure you aren't eating a lot at dinner because your body can't burn it off before you go to bed.

first and foremost, i applaud you for wanting to take care of your body and be healthy. its a great decision and its amazing that you're working hard for it, good job! :]
everyone's body is different, and sometimes working out doesn't give immediate effects. you have to take into consideration that when you woke up this morning, you probably went to the bathroom, and you didn't have any food in your stomach. so you weighted less because of it. and through out the day you ate, and you had food in your stomach which could've contributed to the two pounds. i'm not saying starve yourself, nothing good can come from that. all i mean is to be patient and be consistant with your eating habits and exercise routine. keep working out, keep eating healthy. it may just take longer than you imagined to loose the weight you want.
good luck and i hope you get the results you want!

you might not be gaining weight through out the day your weight ranges by 5 pounds because not all you food has been digested and stuff like that..so to know your real weight weigh yourself right when you wake up. Then thats your real weight.
