I weighted myself yesterday as it was my weekly weigh in and I was two pounds lighter than the last week weigh in! Woo!

I dont know what thought came over me but today, just now I decided to weigh myself again on my scales (the next day) and it said i'd dropped another two pounds from yesterday?!

How is this possible? Is it accurate? I dont want to loose 2 pounds A DAY :|

They were the same scales I used, in the same place as always (on a hard floor) they were measured at the same time of day around 12pm? The settings on the digital scales were not different?

Any explanation? I'm worried :( - it kinda deserves me right for weighing myself twice in two days but i was curious to see how much i'd loose in 1 day.

    when i used to weigh myself every day there would be some days where my weight went down by two pounds, then the next day my weight went back up. That's probably why they say you shouldn't weigh yourself everyday!

    Weight varies so much. I weigh myself every day and see it go up and down by a couple of pounds. Weighing every day means each individual reading means that much less and the overall trend becomes more important.
