How much have you ever seen your weight fluctuate because of water retention etc?

    On a day to day basis I fluctuate 0.5-1 lb, the largest shift I've had in the past year is a 3 lb difference in a day. That is rare though, I'm usually consistent within a 1 lb range.

    I "lost" 2lb in a day before. I know I've had water weight fluctuations over 3.5lb, but they weren't back to back weighing. I'm sure if I weighed multiple times a day I could see fluctuation much higher.

    When I had periods, it used to be 10 pounds over 2 days. Day 1 I would add about 5 pounds of water. Day 2 I would go up another 5 pounds. Day 3 my period would start and I would spend a lot of time in the bathroom, peeing. I hated it because I felt so bloated, my breasts were huge and my feet and ankles were swollen. Since I was irregular, it let me know when I was about to start. Let's hear it for menopause

    I put 3-4lb on after every kfc/dominos/macdonalds even if I've stayed under my calorie goal. But is gone within 48 hours.
