    So far, I've only fluctuated by ounces, after the cheesecake I just ate..that may change tomorrow.

    I've seen a swing of up to 10 pounds in the course of a day

    My maintenance fluctuation range is about 1kg, so about 2lb.

    I'm 102lbs and 4'11 so the most I would expect to see is 1-2lb tops.

    this is me right now. I'd like to lower my maintenance range by a few pounds though. my running efficiency greatly improves at a lower weight, so i'm slowly working on it.

    3 - 5lbs for me, I don't mind fluctuations, except when they stay at the higher end of my goal range for days at a time! but thats maintenance for ya, gotta take the highs as well as the lows.

    No, not usually as its mainly water weight from sodium/TOM etc, but if the scale is up persistently for more than a week then I reign in my cals until I see a lower number again.

    15lbs is a bit extreme, sounds like your actually gaining then losing, mine can be anywhere around 10lbs, which seems to depend on the weather, and also notice I fluctuate in much bigger range at maintaince than the weight loss mode.

    I'm usually within 3 lbs except for my TOM, where it can go up as much as 5lbs.

    Week is pretty much over, and this week I fluctuated from 60.2-60.8kg in the morning. Usually my weight is lowest on Saturday (second weekend day for me) and Sunday, and then rises slowly until around Wednesday.

    About 2 pounds, I attribute it to sodium right now, I've definitely noticed when I lower my sodium, my weight stays pretty steady at 103-104. But when I have more sodium it's more like 104-105

    I have a 5 pound allowance. However, if I continue to trend up or stay up for more than a few days, I dial back my calories a little to get within the allowance again.
