Hi
Fluctuations bother me but they are to be expected. I weigh twice a week - just to keep an eye on things. Sometimes the mid week weigh in looks like i have lost zero but i keep plugging on in the knowledge that i am following my plan so the weight will shift eventually. I also know a few people that weigh daily - I really couldn't do it but each their own.0 -
I have the same thing going with weighing in daily. I wish I knew what if feels like to worry about being under-weight.I think I weigh daily to try and figure out just what food worked best for me that week with how the scale moved.0

They don't bother me. That's why I weigh every day - it allows me to see the fluctuations and know to expect them.
I think of it as a spring. My weight bounces up and down. The middle defines my true weight. Sometimes I bounce under. Sometimes over. I'm losing weight when I see new numbers on the bottom. I'm gaining when I see new numbers on the top.0 -

I don't think I've ever 'bounced under.' not without a diuretic0 -
It bothers me too! I try to not obsess on the scale and to remind myself that I'm eating within the parameters of my plan which is what is important to me.0

I weigh myself everyday and record it. I find it helps me get back on track. I find for me, if I don't weigh myself very often I have a tendency to get lazy on go off course. A couple of years back the scales at my gym didn't wasn't there for like a month, without regular weigh ins, I gained quite a bit. So for peace off mind.
I react differently to flucatations depending on what I ate. For example if I over did it a lot (like I did at easter) and the scales is up, I will know that I need to work on my diet and be careful for the next week or so. I find if I eat certain foods like beans or potatoes that the scales goes up for a day or so but then goes back.
Generally I prefer if the scale goes down instead off up ;P0 -
Having read your other posts, it really sounds as if you are at a very unhealthy place, mentally. This sort of reaction to fluctuations is actually common among those with eating disorders. Maybe taking a step back and looking at your reactions objectively might be an idea.

I weigh myeslf every morning and afternoon, lol, Im obsessed but its ok, because I know that it wont derail me if I dont see the results I want to see. I would only recommend this if you are ok with being disappointed every now and then. Trust me there are many a times that I am disappointed, BUT, the key is, I dont let it derail me. I just keep trucking along, and sure enough.... the lbs do come off. I am kind of like a robot on autopilot, just keep doing it, over and over..... repitition gets results!0

Do you work out at all? Have a physical job? You can "bounce under" with losing sweat. Happens to me every single day.0
