I weigh weekly, but this week I've been getting on the scale almost everyday. It is scary to think my weight fluctuates this much during the week... I mean I really hope it is just fluctuation and not a big gain.
I weigh on Thursdays, Saturday I was down 1lb and Sunday I was down 1.5lb (total from Thursday). Sunday I went over a little, 300cals, but I had pizza for dinner that was a sodium killer. I get up today and am up 5lb from Thursday!!! That's almost a 7lb fluctuation from Sunday to Monday... I'm sure a lot is water, but 7lbs?!?!?! Really!
I'm drinking a lot of water between now and Thursday and making sure I stay on plan, probably will throw in some green tea as well... I hope to have lost by then, but at least not have gained!
So biggest you've seen in weight fluctuation from one day to the next?

Up to 2lbs.0

When I eat really bad and drink a lot of soda one day, and then eat better the next... I often have a difference of up to 5-7lbs.1

7 lbs isn't unrealistic for water gain. Drink 100+ ounces of water throughout the day and just keep going/going/going. I bet you'll see at least half of that drop by the next day.
The worst I've had was 5-6 lbs. That's after eating pizza, popcorn, chips, etc oh and Soda. Soda will kill the weight as well and keep all that sodium in you.0 -
Ive never seen more than 2 on myself.0

Yeah, forgot about the soda. It was diet dr pepper, but over the course of the afternoon and evening I think I finished a 2ltr bottle.
I'm up to 8 cups so far on my water, so I should be able to hit the 100oz mark today...0 -
There was a point last week where I was having sleeping trouble and losing multiple pounds a day... I think I was sick though, so extenuating circumstances... Although I haven't gotten more than half a pound of that back. It was weird0

You're body is just probably holding on to it, so you should be able to flush yourself with the water pretty easily.0

i can fluctuate anywhere from 1 to 5 pounds.0
-
About five pounds fluctuation is what I experience.0
-
I lost 10 pounds one day. It was all water weight. I felt like I peed 30 times that day.0

Don't fret ! My scale has fluctuated 8 lbs in a day before ( water retention- sodium intake-female time of the month ) so don't let this discourage you. Its normal.1 -
I recommend tracking your weight in an app called Libra. It lets you see the trend without getting overwhelmed by the day to day fluctuations. I can gain/lose 2# from one day to the next, apx 5 around my period. I weigh daily, as it keeps me accountable and on track.2

When I eat badly, say for example pizza and beer, anywhere upto like 1.5kg.0
-
Up to 2 kg (4.5 pounds)0
-
I vary about 4lbs over the course of a day, I now weigh myself about 3 times a day! I only record it once but it really is getting a bit bad! I am now hiding my scales to stop me doing this!0
-
This morning it was up like 7 lbs probably from the weekend, alcohol and pizza can really mess with the scale! At least im hoping0
-
From last night and today I went from 201.8 to 199.8. Although it can vary from what I eat. Sometimes it goes as high as 204 but I always lose it when I drink loads of water.0
-
I can weigh up to 5lbs different each day.0
-
I can swing incredibly fast...I lost 6 pounds from a Sunday evening to a Tuesday morning (around 30 hours) once. I've also gained 8 pounds over a weekend. I think I bloat really easily from too much salt or carbs.0
