Just curious to see how much your weight varies day to day, morning to night, whats the most it varied by?
My last weigh-in I weighed: 165.4, last night it was 176, this morning 174.6, 4 days ago 169
The most my weight varied by was 11lbs, talking about some serious water retention :P

oh i don't do that anymore. it was too heartbreaking! as much as 3 lb different day to day. if i ate a lot of sodium, as much as 5 lb.0

Mine has varied from 5-8lbs. I don't give it much thought anymore. It's good to keep that in mind when weighing in.0

wow thats a big difference. that's why i only weigh myself in the morning after I went to the bathroom. And before I eat or drink anything. At night is the worst time to way yourself and will defiantly give you a bigger number.. I weigh in about evvery 4-5 days..0

my weight varies from 6-10 lbs. drinking the water is good but of course I retain even though I sweat like a pig when I am working out.0

About 6lb swing is the most I see.0

My weight usually varies about 5 pounds if I weigh myself in the day and then at the night. The most I've ever "gained" was 9 pounds, but I drank 8 bottles of water that day.0

I'm typically 4-6 lbs heavier at night than in the morning. And I typically vary +/- 2 from morning to morning.0

Think of it like, "What does your purse weights?"
It can vary widely.0 -
I also can have major differences in my wieght each day and week............. As much as 10 lbs! It sucks ;( other than sodium what else can cause it? I have been high in sodium and sugar lately, go to love the holidays and my lack of SELF CONTROL!!!!!!!!0

I am so glad you posted this! I have been wondering if I was some kind of freak and getting myself all worked up every day!0

My GOODNESS Sodium Stinks big time!0

As obsessive at it may seem I weigh myself every night and every morning. I weigh myself at night because it gives me an idea how much I will weigh in the morning so it isn't as much of a shock if the scale goes up. There is usually a 3 pound difference being heavier at night of course. My weight yo-yo's from day to day but usually it's within a 3 pound range. When TOM is here it goes up a little more.0

The most I varied was 5 pounds. I always weigh myself in the morning first thing. It's so funny how 8 hours prior to that I was 4-5lbs heavier and it all seemed to disappear while I was sleeping! lol. I think our scales try to motivate us sometimes....lol...0

I only weigh myself once a week, every Fri morning after going to the bathroom and before eating/drinking anything and completely naked.0

Today I weighed 7lbs more than yesterday morning...I hate the scale!

I think the most mine has varied is 3-4 lbs. Last week, I weighed in at 171.2 and the next day I was 175. Things like that always frustrate me0

I've only noticed maybe a 2 or 3 pound swing for me.
I noticed a trend though. I'm my lightest int he morning after I've gotten some sleep. In this case, I'm working the overnight. I weighed myself this morning when I got home from work, and I was the same as when I left for work last night. I slept for probably around 5 hours or so, and weighed myself when I got up and I was 2 pounds lighter than I was last night. Anyone else notice that? It's like I need a full nights sleep to lose weight.0 -
Time of day it varies about 3-5lbs from day to day (weighing at the same time) can be about 2-3lbs0

I only weigh myself once a week, every Fri morning after going to the bathroom and before eating/drinking anything and completely naked.
what we should all strive for
i find just the right angle on the scale, in the nude, before drinking/eating anything and of course, after emptying all my, um, crevasses. and not often either.0
