    Tweaking your sodium just before weigh-in is playing a game with the scale, like a boxer trying to make his weight.

    Try just being aware of how it's shifting, if you eat pickles on Sunday just expect some extra water on Monday.

    my personal recommendation:

    Weigh once weekly first thing in the morning, preferably after using the bathroom, 24-48 hours after exercise, not the morning of your period OR having a high-sodium meal OR drinking alcohol. Then track trends over a 4-6 week period.

    edit: P.S. I guess as long as you keep up the high sodium indefinitely you won't be seeing too many fluctuations. ;)

    As long as I keep the high sodium I will be seeing fluctuations? Is that what you were advising?

    You will ALWAYS have fluctuations. Log your weight and track the TREND. Don't worry about each day.
