Starting to be concerned over my daily fluctuations :/

Hi Cinarocket -
I would add that it looks like you are almost to your goal weight. First, congrats on the weight lost. Great job! Second, I think it can often be harder to lose the last bit of weight as you near your goal weight. Be patient. If you stick to it, you'll get there.

Happens all the time to me.

If you're not reassured by the responses, maybe either weigh yourself weekly, or even monthly, or weigh daily plug it into a spreadsheet and only look at the longer-term trend. That's what I do, and works for me. I can still see the fluctuations (so I know it's normal and predictable), but they don't freak me out.

OP, have you taken pics as progress? What is your deficit, goal? Im a little confused of what you actually want to do with your body....i.e. maintenance, weightloss, inches

Not much of a pics guy but i'm still trying to lose a few kilos.

stop weighing every day and just weight yourself once a week at the same time…

also, if you know better to be worried over daily fluctuations, why post this?

As I said in my OP, this abnormal fluctuation is coming RIGHT after some of my best days exercise wise (i'd estimate having burnt around 5000 kcal in 4 days). I already knew that weight could fluctuate easily over a day or 2 but going up for 3 days after my best days in terms of exercise (and eating) is just... weird.

You fluctuate 1.5 kilos in a week. That's normal. The mirror and the fit of your clothes are more accurate gauges of the direction your body fat is taking. Weigh yourself in the morning after using the bathroom for consistent numbers. Don't stress over normal.

actually it's the opposite of weird,that's what we're trying to tell you. After 4 days of intense exercise if you were NOT showing heavier on the scale, it would be weird. This is 100% normal.

weight fluctuation is totally normal and often with increased exercise you're going to retain water. Relax

yep. mine can go up a couple of pounds after several days of intense exercise
