    5 pounds for me. If I start to get a little thick, I eat a little less.

    Keep an eye on it but it should come back down again - this happens when you're new to maintenance.

    To explain further : my daily fluctuations vary but month on month my weight stays the same (125lbs) so I can see as high as 128 and then it'll settle back 125 again..

    was that a 3 lbs trend? or just a 3 pound spike? if you don't mind me asking that is?

    For me it’s +/- 5 pounds. More than 5 and I start watching my calorie intake for a while.

    I'm definitely in the +/-5lb. camp.

    +/- 2 pounds. I'm small so I think that's why the fluctuation is smaller than others. The report feature where you see you weight trend for 30 or 90 days is extremely helpful in keeping you honest.

    Only been maintaining 4 weeks and have bounced around by 4 pounds but only hit the extremes once; all the rest within 3. That's total range, so +/- 2; I have been pretty stable. Weigh every other day.
