Yesterday when I woke up my weight was 123.8 and I was so excited because I finally broke 24, but today it went way higher than usual and was 126.2. I ate pretty healthily yesterday and ran a 5k. Could it be because I had dinner pretty late?

    It could be because weight fluctuates.

    Example: On Thursday, I weighed before I worked out. Came back after... 90 minutes later...and I'd gained 4 lbs. Weight is not a great short term indicator of anything other than gravity at a moment in time. Long term, and consistently, it can show trends and progress, but day by at random intervals it's going to be inconsistent.

    Take a breath. Stay consistent.

    Weight fluctuates, look at the trend over a few weeks, not a couple of days
