    Weigh first thing after toilet, before shower or breakfast.

    Of course you weighed heavier afterwards, wet hair plus our skin absorbs alot of water too which will show as a gain temporarily.

    Haha I did notice something similar as well. A 1-2 pound fluctuation weighing myself before/after taking a shower. It's mysterious :wink:

    Yes, your body absorbs water. MFP and most people who try to stay sane recommend only weighing yourself once a week. The scale is only a reference. It's the choices you make when you aren't on the scale that matter. Trust me, you'll save yourself disappointment and you will always know where you are (did you lose 2 or more pounds since last weigh in or are you plateauing?) It only took me two weigh ins 1 week apart to know I was on a plateau. It has not affected my motivation because the gains, while only .4 or .2 in 1 week are still gains. If I would have weighed myself everyday during those weeks I would have been going insane.

    Are you seriously giving the OP advice after ~7 years??????

    I love this place sometimes.

    Plus the fact that two weeks ain't a plateau...

    Sometimes the zombie threads bring out some interesting replies, huh? ;)


    (Still happily weighing every damn day and not freaking out.)
