Is anyone else able to predict their weight fluctuations? I have to admit that I was surprised this week to see minor losses on days with DOMS. There were bigger losses the following days. That was new.

OP, lots of things cause weight to fluctuate. Read the forums and learn about them. If you're going to weigh yourself frequently, you should become familiar with them so you don't freak out every time the scale goes up.

I usually can...I know I'll be up around 2 pounds for TOM. Except today I'm up close to 4 pounds (it's due today), but my guess is the extra carbs I ate yesterday contributed to that number.

The most consistent fluctuations I have are the day after leg day. It's usually +2 lbs

Big muscle groups. Not surprising.

I'm in such a weird pattern right now. I'm losing like crazy, but it's like chipping away at it. .2 pounds here, .4 pounds there.

My trainer and I really went for broke and upped lots of weights last week too. I thought for sure that I'd gain.

Someone obviously doesn't understand how weight loss and fluctuations work.

It'll be pretty funny when he wakes up tomorrow heavier after his run.

Nah bruh

I'm sure this thread is a level.

I like to think I can predict them, but when I expect a fluctuation that doesn't come, I always immediately think I must have lost and the noise is canceling the gain.

I usually can, though was a total fail on that front today. I suspect I've lost some weight and it's being slightly masked by fluid retention. It will be interesting to see what the scales say tomorrow!

This is why I don't chart my weight until I've had three consecutive weigh-ins at the same weight. And I make sure to weigh myself on the same scale (at the gym) in the same clothes, same time of day, right before I start my workout, right before I start guzzling water.

Weight can fluctuate so much hour-to-hour and day-to-day. Don't be a slave to the scale.

Besides, body fat percentage is really all that matters in that regard.

Of course you will weigh more after eating & drinking. It's best to weight yourself in the morning after using the bathroom, before you eat anything. Also, don't panic with the day-to-day numbers, as they will fluctuate based on water retention... weekly might be better timing for tracking progress.
