    ^yup.

    Mine did the same thing in weight loss. Sometimes, it goes up a p o in or two as well and then goes back down. Ah, the scale. Ever will I hate you. Take measurements too! And pictures! They'll be more telling when the scale is being mean! ;)

    This! Or try on some clothes at least. I was frustrated because of the scale these past few days. Then I put on some pants that were too tight a week ago. They fit great. So the scale is a filthy, sadistic liar. As usual.

    I find this to be completely normal. I fluctuate all the time, but always just a couple of pounds... it is particularly bad once a month and I usually gain a bit that week only to see it disappear when it is over. It used to be quite discouraging, but at some point this year I stopped caring (no idea why or how) and it has been better for my ability to keep moving forward.

    I also noticed that my scale "saves" weights, so I weigh myself more than once each morning. The matching 2 out of 3 wins.

    I never get numbers that bounce up and down but I still don't like the inconsistency of the numbers.

    Believe it or not your weight does fluctuate, if you weighed yourself at night you most likely would weigh more. The jagged weight loss is normal. I weigh daily and at odd times to learn my range, it is normally about 4lbs over 48hours. When a new low will be hit, the day before my weight stays in the bottom of my current range, then the next morning I see the new low.

    Being consistent on timing and water intake, does help stabilize nthe numbers but hormones, digestion, workouts, sodium, alcohol, humidity and a million other things effect the numbers as well.
