I usually only weigh once a week, but yesterday when I did, I had gained two ounces from last week. I weighed again today out of curiosity, and I was down 2.5 pounds! What the heck?!

Your weight is not static and daily fluctuations of a few pounds are completely normal.2

Did you eat or drink anything between now and then? Or pee or poop? My scale fluctuates that way everyday. Up two, down two.0

If weight fluctuation were a carnival ride they'd be a tilt a whirl. Nauseating and very confusing... Nah. Completely natural to bounce like that1

Do you expect to always weigh the same or drop at an exact rate? It doesn't work like that.0

+/- 2 lbs is common for me. I totally agree that it's spooky. Where does it come from and where does it go? Inquiring minds need to know.0
