Steadily Losing Weight Everyday?

Note-I don't starve, in fact I am typically at least 100 or so calories above goal (my goal is 1,200).

Anyways, I weigh at the same 'time', so to speak, everyday which is when I wake up. My waking up time varies everyday, but I do it after I wake up nonetheless.
Everyday for the past couple days I have been steadily losing the weight? Will this stop, and if not, is it healthy or should I consult someone? o.o

Edit: Some days I lose three pounds, and other days I lose as little as .5 pounds. I'm not complaining but I'm somewhat worried<_<

    I wouldn't worry. I also wouldn't weigh myself everyday, maybe weekly. You shouldn't lose more than 2 lbs per week after the first few weeks of starting a program. If you are a month into a plan, I would consider altering your numbers a bit because you may be cutting too much or exercising too much. But if you are just starting out it should level off in theory.

    Your weight will go up and down, somewhat unpredictably. This is why noone really recommends daily weighing, as it is easy to get discouraged. The fact that it went down every day for several days is probably a fluke, and you will freak out tomorrow when you weigh yourself and find that all those pounds have returned.

    I lose every day as well.

    if someone wishes to weigh every day surely that's up to them.
    as for the 2lb weight loss each week... well that varies for each individual.

    In two weeks I steadily went from 130.4 to 126.2 by changing nothing significant in exercise or eating habits. No clue what happened, but weight loss stopped after that and I put on two pounds of water weight overnight. Just bodies being funky, don't mind it :)

    This. If you're continually losing more than 2lb a week, you run the risk of losing muscle mass rather than just fat. I'd probably start upping the cals to about 1500 if that's the case. It's not a question of starving.. more about fuelling your body for working out.
