    I use Happyscale which is similar :)


    Why don't you try weighing daily and logging it in Happyscale. That way you can see the fluctuations and realize that the ups and downs are completely normal.

    Yup. I weigh daily and log in Excel.

    My scale goes up at ovulation, prior to my period starting, and when I start lifting weights again after taking some time off.

    It's just water weight or hormonal driven. You really need to chill here. At your current size I would imagine you could vary 3-5 lbs easily.
    Try weighing more often & use an app like happy scale to track the trend.

    You are right about upping your water intake. When we keep ourselves hydrated it stops our bodies from thinking...uh oh we are getting dehydrated...time to retain fluids :) very simple version of fluid balance :).

    Weight fluctuates on a daily basis for all sorts of reasons - I can fluctuate at maintenance as much as 1-2 lbs a day.

    Keep on going, bit by bit you will lose.

    Some find it helpful to track weight daily so they learn the how's and why's of fluctuations then it doesn't bother them.
