Weird scale drops

I'm having issues with my scale. I don't seem to see gradual weight loss. Instead, between one day and the next, it'll drop three pounds, then stabilize for several days. I don't move the scale, I always weigh at the same time in the morning before I've eaten... Is there any other explanation, or is this just how I lose weight?

    Probably just losing. It will slow the closer you get to your goal. If not maybe set your goal on less weight loss per week, so you don't lose too fast.

    Mine does that....it's weird but it works out by the time weigh day comes around. I just think it's sodium, water retention, eating levels...that make you fluctuate!

    Happens to me all the time. Hit was seems to be a mini-plateau for a week or so and then one day I'm down 1-1.5 lbs. As long as the overall trend is down, I'm not complaining.
