Weight Flucuation

Oh yes! Some big bounces are perfectly normal. Not sure about a whole stone and more though. Are your scales alsways in the same place, on a flat surface or on carpet?

Usually if you view it as interesting and won't get freaked out by the numbers you can weigh yourself a few times a day and see the changes food, drink, the loo etc make to your weight.

Impossible things like weighing more after a pizza than before.... can be scary, but fun!

I tend to hop on and off all the time, but I only ever log my weight on the same time of the same day every week. That way I have a little bit of consistency. everything else is just for curiosity and non-scientific research

Yes: I once lost 6lbs overnight. Unless I got up and did about about 21,000 calories'-worth of exercise in my sleep, weight definitely doesn't follow any rules!!

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and dieting, I have noticed my weight changing a lot within my first week of dieting. I like to weigh myself everyday as it motivates me to see the progress.

Last week Sunday I was 14st (196lbs) throughout the week it went up to 14.7st (205.8lb) and dropped to 13st (182lbs) this morning.

I drink over 8 glasses of water religiously everyday as I have always done this.

I know my weight should change due to water retention, bowel movements, ect but does anyone else's weight change this much?

Thanks in advance

My weight is up and down like a yoyo, but it doesn't bother me, it's the trend that's important, I use Libra on Android to keep an eye on the trend and as long as it's still headed downward I just keep doing what I am doing and trust the process.

This is my weight recorded daily in MFP for the first 6 months of my weight loss whilst maintaining a 500 calorie deficit:

MY weight range is 7 pounds....Not including water/food weight. I weigh around 5 pounds more every night then i do in the morning. Stick me in a buffet or a holiday and i go up a good 10-15 easy. Delicious. I find it fun to monitor my weight i dont panic its happening anyway i find its good to know my body and what effects it how.

it's crazy what our bodies can do. yes, it's normal.
i weigh every day as well but you should be looking at the overall trend
