Fluctuations.... how much do you move?

Hi all
Fluctuations don't stress me out anymore (though they used to) but more just a general curiosity - what's the most you've fluctuated? I can go up another 3-5 kg a week after weighing at the lowest weight for that week (usually over the weekend) then it always settles down again and I drop again.
I can see where people get weirded out by that and I definitely used to, now I just think it's quite funny.

3 pounds is normal for me. Usually it is just water retention. I have gone up as much as 7 pounds after taking a couple day break from tracking. Even then it usually drops off as fast (within a week) and I resume where I left off.0
