Weighing blues!

misspiggysback

So morning to night I've gained 1.3kg is that normal? I'm trying to reason that it is but I just can't. How much do you all gain from morning weigh in to night?

your full of water and food from your day...dont worry. Ill gain a pound just drinking water before bed it being in me doesnt stop it having weight or make me actually weigh more

Assuming you've been eating and drinking all day long...those things have weight and take time to get through your system.

Weigh once per day at the most under the same conditions (ie: first thing in the morning after using the restroom) and use that data point for reference. There's no need for weighing multiple times per day or using different scales - just leads to confusion.

Why would you weigh twice a day? Of course your weight would be different - you've consumed food/beverages, you've used the restroom or you might need to use the restroom. You'll make yourself nuts weighing multiple times a day and expecting the same weight all the time.

You should really only weigh yourself at most 1x a week or you're bordering on obsession.

I weight myself daily. I jot it down weekly. Not an obsession. I have learned many things such as 1) alcohol makes me weigh more for days 2) high sodium foods will make me weigh a lot more the next day

I can gain over 2 kgs in a day but the following morning be back to where I was, or less, the following morning. This is normal. In saying that I very rarely would weigh myself twice a day and only have occasionally out of total curiosity to see how much your weight can fluctuate in a 24 hour period.

I wouldn't call weighing daily obsessive for most people. Those that do are aware of fluctuations and don't let it bother them, likely using a tracking app to see past said fluctuations.

I weigh daily to get a trend. The fluctuations used to drive me crazy until I started you use an app called happy scale which gives you a trend rather than the exact weight each day.

I also weighed myself hourly one day out of curiosity. It's really quite fascinating how much the weight jumps around in a single day and I had a 2.2kg difference in one day.

For me this little exercise kinda put things in perspective. Few hundred grams up or down in the morning is really nothing to stress about when you see what happens during the day. Just weigh once a day, don't stress and keep an eye on the trend as others have said.

You don't gain weight from day to day, and the weight difference from morning to night isn't even a fluctuation - it's the weight of the food and water you have taken in that day!
