    Your weight will fluctuate day to day anywhere between 3-5 lbs simply because of daily function, what you are the day before, water retention, etc. so if you were one weight on Wednesday and then up on Thursday that is not actual weight that you gained. That's why it's only recommended to weigh yourself once per week. Just my opinion.

    If you have been very sedentary and are now working out, you may be gaining some muscle. But more likely it's just water weight.

    But if you are getting smaller, don't worry about it. I really do understand how controlling the scale can be, but ultimately very few people ever know what you wiegh. But a lot of people see how you look. I'll take smaller and heavier over larger and lighter any day.
