How much does the scale move in a day FOR YOU?

Hey guys! Just wondering how much, up or down, your weight can fluctuate from morning until you go to bed. Mine averages about 2 lbs up throughout the day. : ) Just for my own curiosity! Thanks!

  • I can have upwards of a 6 pound difference by the end of the day.

    I don't weight myself daily so can't help you there...

    12 lbs one day, not sure it that was the highest, it might not have been. Normally around 4 or 5 lbs.
  • 5lbs for me

    I think the most it's moved around in a day is like 5lbs. But I've never really been that keen on checking the fluctuations so, might've been higher for all I know.

    Quite a bit depending on what I eat/drink... I have observed as much as a 6-8 lb fluctuation throughout the day... at the end of the day immediately after my last evening void, I am usually about 2-2.5 lbs above my next morning's weight.. Unless I am up during the night with subsequent voids. None of this is important.. It is the morning weight that is most accurate.
