How much does your weight fluctuate day to day?

Mine seems to be about 3lbs - which stinks since it often masks any loss. I have been at it for 1 month now and total loss is 3 lbs (I don't have much to lose) which can disappear on any given day due to water retention. My hubby is encouraging me to hide the scale so I don't freak out about water weight. Curious as to how much your weight fluctuates on a day to day basis?

    1-3lbs, depending on the time of the month, what I've eaten for the day, stress, etc. I don't like the scale much as a result.

    I don't pay much attention to it; it can fluctuate as much as 5 pounds for me. My 7 year old son got on the scale, and it fluctuated about 3 pounds for him :noway: ........hm.....maybe I need a new scale...:bigsmile:

    Anything up and down by 3 pounds. I went up by 1 pound all last week and then on last Monday weigh in I dropped 2.25 pounds past what I was the previous Monday.

    Usually around 4-pound swings from day to day, sometimes as high as 8. I don't know what causes it (I assume water retention based on whatever affects that), but as long as I see a new low every week or two, I know that I'm making progress.

    Throw the scale out and go by your clothes. It will just frustrate you! :D
