Unusual weight flux's.

I've noticed that I can put on and drop pounds very easily, and I was wondering if any of you experience this as well. I'm able to drop 5-10 pounds a day, and gain the same amount the next day. I don't know if it's something I should see a doctor for, or if it's just water weight.
Advice please!

    My weight fluctuates almost ten pounds just throughout the day! I gave up on daily weighing- I wasn't getting any usable numbers, plus it was really getting me down. I weight myself about once every two weeks and only in the morning.

    I've since stopped really paying attention to weight, except for my ticker, and started relying on my measurements. I'm trying to lose size and get firmed up- so weight doesn't really provide a good indicator of that for me.

    Good idea, I think I'm getting unhealthy dependent on my scale, plus it's an analog scale so it's probably not the most accurate thing to rely on.
    Thanks for the tip. :D

    Hey
    I have a digital scale and I go up and down up to 3kgs(approx 6lbs) a day.
    I know I have an unhealthy dependance on the scale.
    Haha, kick the habit before you let the scales decide your day.
    Take care.

    at least I know I'm not risking health problems. :D
    I'm wayyy dependent on the scale already, I weigh myself after everything I eat. :\
    I'm trying not to weigh myself too often now, though.
    Thanks!
