    That's why you don't jump on a scale everyday. Your weight is going to naturally fluctuate on a day to day basis. matter of fact, it's going to fluctuate throughout the day as well. You can almost guarantee that by the end of the day, you will weigh more than you did in the morning. And then when you wake up the next day, you will weigh less than you did the night before.

    It's typically water weight and nothing to worry about. Instead of checking daily, check weekly and watch for trends. And when you do check, make sure it's the same time every day. Typically, the best time is to check right after you wake up and go to the bathroom in the morning.

    You should weigh yourself weekly - at the same time of day using the same scale. I weigh myself on Monday mornings right after I wake up and use the bathroom. Good luck with your journey.

    No problem :) On a typical day, it's not unusual for me to be 4 - 5 pounds heavier at night than I am first thing in the morning. :) Good luck and keep up the good work!
