Weigh in question

BombolinaM

I usually weigh myself all the time. But Monday I weigh myself in the morning after I use the bathroom and log my current weight. Well today a few hours later I was a pound less. I know that's not a huge difference. Does this happen to anybody else?Should I just chalk this up to water weight?

Yes, our bodies can fluctuate up to 5 pounds either way in a day, due to water and eating and using the bathroom, etc.

Someone once said to get up, make coffee or feed your dogs, or do something for about 10 minutes and then weigh in- I've only noticed a small difference, not a huge one yet.

That's a good idea

that happens to me too sometimes. i think...gosh, if i just waited one more hour...

your weight changes so much during the day, that i dont worry about it. i can be like +2 one day and then -1 the next day. as long as by Thurs mornings when i do my weigh in i am a minus, who cares! lol

i do like to weigh every day though so i know where i am for the week. if i feel like i am not doing so hot and have just a couple more days before weigh in, i will try to up the exercise and not eat any bread! lol :bigsmile:

I was told not to weigh more then once a week because your body can fluctuate so much that you would drive yourself crazy..

1 Litre (just under a quart) of water weighs 1 Kilo (2.2lbs) so its easy to see how your weight can fluctuate during the day.

I have this issue and it is so annoying.. This is my first week on this site and I plan to try a few times this week to find my low dip point. Then I can choose this time weekly to check on it.

If I don't set a good time, weighing just becomes masochistic for me!
