    Hi everyone. I have been concerned with my weight fluctuation for some time and wondered if it is the experience of others here that the variable weight is due, in part, to water retention? I live in a humid/hot climate and become frustrated with the variation in my weight; usually between 1 to 3 kg? This situation confuses me , at times, as I try and remain loyal to eating at a calorie deficit. I would really appreciate hearing from others?

    This is off topic, and should be in a separate thread. Lots of things cause water fluctuations. I can get them from eating out (restaurants can use a lot of salt), monthlies, or starting/changing exercise programs, or having a more intense exercise day (2+hours).

    Here's one (of many) threads on periods and water weight gain (and changes in cravings/hunger).

    If you have sudden weight change that is not linked to caloric intake, it's probably water (muscle weight changes tend to be gradual). Don't stress about water weight, look at month-to-month trends. Good luck :)
