Weight Flucuation

Nicola_c_13

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and dieting, I have noticed my weight changing a lot within my first week of dieting. I like to weigh myself everyday as it motivates me to see the progress.

Last week Sunday I was 14st (196lbs) throughout the week it went up to 14.7st (205.8lb) and dropped to 13st (182lbs) this morning.

I drink over 8 glasses of water religiously everyday as I have always done this.

I know my weight should change due to water retention, bowel movements, ect but does anyone else's weight change this much?

Thanks in advance

Oh yes! Some big bounces are perfectly normal. Not sure about a whole stone and more though. Are your scales alsways in the same place, on a flat surface or on carpet?

Usually if you view it as interesting and won't get freaked out by the numbers you can weigh yourself a few times a day and see the changes food, drink, the loo etc make to your weight.

Impossible things like weighing more after a pizza than before.... can be scary, but fun!

I tend to hop on and off all the time, but I only ever log my weight on the same time of the same day every week. That way I have a little bit of consistency. everything else is just for curiosity and non-scientific research

I tend to weigh myself multiple times throughout the day too. It's weird how much the weight fluctuates, between 1-1.5kg. So yeah I guess it is normal.

Yes: I once lost 6lbs overnight. Unless I got up and did about about 21,000 calories'-worth of exercise in my sleep, weight definitely doesn't follow any rules!!

getting weighed everyday, due to fluctuations, can set me back..so trying to stop it!

My weight is up and down like a yoyo, but it doesn't bother me, it's the trend that's important, I use Libra on Android to keep an eye on the trend and as long as it's still headed downward I just keep doing what I am doing and trust the process.

This is my weight recorded daily in MFP for the first 6 months of my weight loss whilst maintaining a 500 calorie deficit:

MY weight range is 7 pounds....Not including water/food weight. I weigh around 5 pounds more every night then i do in the morning. Stick me in a buffet or a holiday and i go up a good 10-15 easy. Delicious. I find it fun to monitor my weight i dont panic its happening anyway i find its good to know my body and what effects it how.

I was happy to see that its not just me - I have been working very hard this week and yesterday I was up 2.5 pounds - uggg... with this crazy weather (in Ontario) - no breaks - I was so depressed. But this morning I got up and I was down 3 pounds.
