    I have (arbitrarily) set mine to 3 kilos - 55-58 - around 6 pounds.

    I don't really fluctuate much unless I overeat and splurge (even during weight loss i only fluctuated .5 to 1lb up and down) I just give myself a 2-3 lbs range. I know it's small but I know my body well enough that I don't fluctuate much daily anyway.

    Mine is between 200 and 210, so roughly 5% of my weight.

    My maintenance fluctuations tend to be 2-3 Lbs up or down on average. They can be more if I go out to eat or something and take in more sodium than usual...also, I tend to put on 5+ lbs of bloat when I fly.

    I'm post- menopausal so no longer have as big a fluctuation as those who are still menstruating and find 5lbs is a good range.

    I rarely count calories or weigh myself but have quite a constant weight judged by visual cues and clothing fit.

    I too put on excess water weight when flying or in hot climates. I discount it knowing what it is and that it will be gone within a week.

    Cheers, h.

    10 pounds. I'm tall so I have more room to play with.

    I haven't had any trouble reaching near my high number, but it's very easy for me to get close to my low number especially in the summer, so I need to watch that.

    Plus or minus 3, which is wider than typical daily fluctuations for me. (But I'm a bit above the top limit right now, gotta admit ;) ).

    As long as I'm within my normal BMI range, I'm reasonably happy. :)

    However, I'm happier if I'm in the lower half of my BMI range.

    5 lb. When I get to the top I start eating at a deficit. I haven't actually made it to the bottom of that range yet.

    Theoretically 3 lbs. I might need to loosen that up a tad.
