down 4 lbs this weekend

hey y'all,

i was upset last week bc I overindulged and gained back 2 pounds i had previously lost. I excercised and ate veggies all weekend and weighed this morning and lost 4 pounds from the weight of Friday.

Is there something wrong with my scale or is that possible?


also, the scale weighed me in at 3 different weights back to back. 119.5; 119; 118.5 I went with the 119.5 because the seems to be the most possible. Has this happened to anyone else? I dont want to step on the scale in two days and be up 4 pounds... you know?

It's just water weight, we all fluctuate, sometimes up to several pounds a day. Perfectly possible. 3 days ago I was 3lbs heavier than I am now, completely normal.

My old scales did the same, I could be a pound different when I stood on them consecutively. My new scales don't. I think cheaper scales tend to be like that.

Yes, it's possible.

It's not the result of only what you did over the weekend, but it's possible.

Overindulging doesn't immediately add 2 lbs of fat, you probably were retaining water, and over the weekend lost that water.
As for the different scale numbers, I step on over and over until I get 3 of the same reading. Make sure your posture is correct and you're stepping on the same spot. If I shift my weight to my heels, I can "make" the scale read a different weight. I have to stand evenly on my feet to get an accurate reading.

You seem to get too stressed over very common daily fluctuations. You should consider weighing no more often than weekly.

so maybe what i gained was water weight and what i lost was water weight. It was just a drastic loss (to me) over the weekend!

These are normal daily fluctuations and are to be expected.
