    Working out can cause you to retain water. You can't weigh yourself at different times of the day with different conditions.

    I only weigh myself in the morning, but I've had a several pound difference between water retention caused by weight lifting, or by extra sodium the day before.

    Any weight you take is going to be a mixture of everything that's going on. Pick a time of day under similar circumstances and stick with weighing yourself at that time.

    Just use the weight you got, weigh again tomorrow. That kind of fluctuation is common and expected. You didn't gain 2kg of fat.

    Weigh yourself first thing in the morning, after the bathroom. Don't weigh again that day. Just keep going, you're fine.

    you weighed on Saturday MORNING and Sunday NIGHT

    Im assuming the food and drink you had during that time didnt weigh zero lbs.

    you will ALWAYS weigh more at night than in the moring because you have the weight of everything you ate and drank in your body too.

    you also wont weigh exactly the same or less EVERY morning

    there is NOTHING concerning about this in the slightest, relax and dont weigh yourself late at night

    Don't be OCD with that scale! Weighing once a week at the same time, preferably first thing in the morning.
    You will make yourself a nutt case weighing yourself everyday several times a day!
    Put the damn thing in the trunk of your car....stay on program and weigh once a week!

    Weighing yourself every morning can be very motivating for some people. I tend to "beat" my lowest weight every couple days, and then I can mark it down and feel good. It's fine as long as you understand weight loss isn't linear. I've gone 4-5 days without budging (or slightly gaining), then BOOM the next morning i'll drop 3 pounds and it stays off.

    Weighing weekly doesn't paint a good picture for me. It's all about averages, so more data is better. When weighing weekly, you can think "I Stayed the same?!" and be completely demotivated that next week, however if you weigh daily you could find out that you were just bloated/gasy/etc yesterday and you actually lost 2+ pounds over that week.

    All dependant on an individuals outlook. Some folks are way crazy with the scale where it is crippling! Some can keep it in perspective.

    my NORMAL weight fluctuates in a 3-4 pound range. if i add on things like TOM (not applicable to you ill assume), new exercise, a high sodium day, etc, it can fluctuate up to 10 pounds.

    relax.

    weight loss is not linear.

    if you are obsessed with it, i would suggest only weighing once a month or once every 2 weeks.

    I weigh myself every morning on the same scale, in the same spot and under same conditions (after bathroom, naked) and then use the weekly average as my weight. Your weight is not static, it fluctuates all over the place based on a variety causes like sodium intake, exercise, amount of food or water intake, bowel uhm fullness etc. You'll drive yourself insane if you take every reading at face value. Most of us want fat loss, not weight loss. Extra water retention or whatever has no bearing on your bodyfat and doesn’t matter.

    Now I struggle with it too, and it pisses me off when the scale is up for no reason, but I've learned to just take a step back and not weigh for a bit if I feel like it's affecting me and my mood too much.

    My daily weight can fluctuate 2-4lbs between morning and night. It's nothing to worry about. Pick a time to weigh and stick with it.

    Another factor is the consistency of your scale. I used to have a scale that gave different readings depending on how you stepped on it. I suggest you need to look at your beliefs and thoughts surrounding weight and weight loss, and/or stop weighing yourself so often. Your framing of the fluctuations as a "really horrible situation" is called a cognitive distortion and is related to whatever beliefs and thoughts you have about your weight. Here's a list:

    I have a 6# range. Don’t freak out over your body’s natural weight fluctuations.

    If you're going to weigh frequently, you're going to have to get used to scale fluctuations and learn not to stress about them.

    Things that add fat to your weight/scale reading:

    a sustained calorie surplus

    Things that add water or other weight that are not fat to your weight/scale reading:

    a new or more intense workout
    more food in your system
    extra sodium in your diet
    disturbed sleep patterns
    extra carbohydrates in your diet than a previous day
    some other stuff I'm not thinking of

    A workout will make you retain water plus you may have eaten foods higher in sodium than usual. It usually comes back off in a few days as long as you stay on track.

    Also: get yourself a trending weight app for your phone or start using a weight trend tracking web site.

    Best of luck.

    My weight can fluctuate as much as 7 lbs in one day due to water. One pint of water weighs one pound, 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilo. So if you drink a liter bottle of water and weigh yourself, you will weigh 1 k more.
