It doesn't in the long term because it doesn't contain calories but it does pass into your body. If you're dehydrated you'll weigh less than when you're fully hydrated
It is "normal" for the body to flex a few pounds during the day.
Think about it?
For example, when you first get up, after fasting for about 8+ hours (normally), and havent consumed any water or food, the body can "tend" to be at its "lightest" weight point of the day.
Now, you get up consume water (or other liquids) and food (all adding weight to the body--at the time consumed (in stomach, no?), additionally it is possible in the AM when you wake up, that you could be holding some "feces" in the colon, from food in recent past (which also adds weight, no?, or it may be empty dependant on when you last had a bowl movement).
As you continue to consume liquids and food, the biological process of the body is at work--distributing the nutrients (etc) to where its needed, and this tends to add weight as time passes during the day. And, is "normal".
Weigh yourself with the same cloths (or none at all, or simular type clothing) at the same time each day--prefereably in the morning when you first get up.
Save confusion, and do not weigh yourself multiple times.
Same time each day, preferrably when you first get up.

A person can respond differently to a diet and fitness structure different from one person to the next. Though our bodies are nearly the same in the way they are constructed, they do not function the same and do not perform biological operations efficiently the same.
When I lost the "bulk" of my fat weight, it came off at a reasonably fast pace--especially at the beginning.
Considering prior to starting my diet fitness program, my calories were rather high (and in a surplus) and exercise wasnt regular, and then suddenly dropping the calorie content into a reasonable deficit and exercising at the same time (and both being completely new), it broke a previous trend, and the body said "WTF?!", and responded rather strongly in return: For a time.
However, this "trend" of the past which was so beneficial when starting out, will be and will continue to be (assuming a healthy indivdual), the ultimate culprit one has to fight against and work with, IMO.
It is "generally" accepted that the body wants to (or would prefer) to stay in a state of homeostatisis (stay the same, balanced). It doesnt like to change, and given appropriate time, will "adjust" to what you are doing to it through diet and training. Its an extraordinary adapting mechanic built to survive.
In its most "basic sense", if one were to maintain a calorie deficit (and lack of nutrition) (long enough) the tissue will be lost (as the body adapts it can slow, but it will continue, and one can eventually become a stick: Think Africa, Think Concentration Camps), but since we are in the business of maintaining/building muscle (and maintaining a healthy diet and nutrition), and the want to lose fat tissue--the situation is all together a different circumstance.
When I go into something, I give it all I have in me, all I have to give (honestly, forthright, and just). I do not lie to myself, and deal with it effectively--though knowledge, and adapting to bodily feedback.
I give my all in the gym, on my diet, and just as important, I give my all in learning all I can so I can TRY to effectively deal with how my body is responding in diet and fitness--whether postively or negatively. I give myself the tools to be successful.
One's diet and fitness history is the teacher of the present. And, if the present condition isnt acceptable, then you look at the previous history, adapt through using the wisdom of the past to bring intelligence to the present.
I designed my program around the premise, I was going to to do "what it took" to get the job done, even it reasonably was uncomfortable and reasonably painful (in mind, in spirit, and reasonably in body). I combat this reasonable pain with learning what motivated me and toughened my internal spirit and personal desire.
It is just flat logical there is going to be "some" frustration, reasonable pain, and mental anguish, ----as one learns how their body responds to diet and exercise along their goal path--and continually try to implement this into one's every changing personal environment.
Its a learning process, yes.
This is stated on the forum quite often, however, some may not fully grasp what this really and truthfully means----specifically to themselves.
I took an extraordinary amount of time to keep a keen eye on my bodily responses as I moved on within diet and fitness (I wrote about this many times so I will not bore you
). As my body weight dropped, muscle/strength increased as compared to the point I started, and last year, I hit a brick wall with the last few pounds. And it was a B@stard, but there is only room for one of those in my body. April, May, and June, armed with the knowledge of my past history (which I am VERY meticulous in keeping), I changed my entire training program and diet structure based on my prior history, and though it was difficult, I got the last portion to come off. And, this experience of last year, has earned me intelligence in the present, and it has been much easier this time, after my short bulk in Fall 07.
The point? Post your previous history of diet and training (if you have it), and post your current diet and training history and how long you have been doing it. Just brief it to the point it will furnish enough info for some of our respected members to look at, and maybe we can identify the problem.
If you remember anything from this post I want you to remember this:
One's diet and fitness history is the teacher of the present. And, if the present condition isnt acceptable, then you look at the previous history, adapt through using the wisdom of the past to bring intelligence to the present.

Hey Creaminz! Lets shorten your forum name to Cream.....just for a sec...........k? He, he......:
It is generally the THEME that CREAM has the STEAM to DREAM to bring self-ESTEEM to the EXTREME.
This is no SCHEME, he has the mental TEAM and the eyes GLEAM!
Happiness glows from the inside out, it doesn’t shine from the outside in

If you believe in yourself and what you're trying to achieve, act like it. Spend time on the things that you value. Give your goals the attention they deserve. Live your life every day trusting the wisdom of your direction. Knowing you can do it is a great first step to getting anything done. The next, often tougher step, is turning the words of your wishes into a solid way to make it happen.

Seek to Master Yourself. The time investment will be paid back 10 times more than the original time you had invested.
In the type of goals we seek on the forum, the truest form of wisdom is learning to master the various internal and external "stimuli" that can effect the goal you desire:
Seek information on things that inhibit and exhibit good behavior toward your goal and blend them into your life and allow your perception of them to mix in to get the job done.
You are the best. You are the greatest. You are the toughest. You are the smartest. You are most intelligent. You have all the wisdom and power.
Let no one penetrate this thought. Do not allow it within. You control it.
Because your are the best and unique self master.
Your are the self critiquing MASTER that eliminates DISASTER to build your body you desire FASTER!
Best regards,
Chillen
