    Did you weigh yourself first thing in the morning both days? Different times of the day can definitely change your weight by up to 4-5 pounds.

    Likely it's water weight. Getting on and off the scale daily is too hard on me, so over the years I've learned to only weigh once a week or less often. The ups and downs can be amazing.

    Possible "errors", causing the difference:

    1. you started eating less, so there is now less food in your system
    2. you're dehydrated
    3. You ate first or something on previous weigh in (good for a lb +)
    4. Your scale is inaccurate, my wife's digital scale can jump 20 lbs just by stepping off and getting back on.

    i hear ya sister! i feel the same ways too sometimes. like i will say 'the scale is definitely lying to me today!!!'
    but i have adopted the lifestyle of getting on the scale once a week - for me i feel like its more accurate...because our bodies change so much with water weight, dehydration, ect.
