    I have been able to weigh in one day to the next with huge increase/decreases of 3-10 pounds some days. Dr was certainly surprised and has seen me for a few days in a row to check, but said there isn't an issue. I am used to this now, but wowzers it's shocking when you first see it.

    In a single day I've seen mine do an 8 pound change. Usually it varies by more like 4 pounds in a day.

    I feel so much less alone now! I thought I was going crazy when it spiked as much as 11lbs, mine usually varies by 2-6lbs, sometimes 6-8lbs.
    So crazy to see how much of difference water retention, TOM and backed up pipes can make!

    The week before my period I gain 6 pounds and then on the first day of my period I lose that + what I would have normally lost for the week. The rest of the month I don't seem to vary day to day, but during the day I generally gain 3-6 pounds.

    I've dropped 10 lbs. of water weight in 48 hours. 4-6lbs. is common for me.

    My weight fluctuates about +/- 3 lbs through the day, and day to day.

    For a while I was addicted to checking the scale everyday. But lately I've been trying to not weigh myself for 7 days. I usually only make it to day 4-5 though. lol.

    I always weigh about 2 lbs more at night then when I do in the morning... Does that mean I get 2lbs worth of food? Who knows..

    Mine usually only varies 2-3lbs, but not more than 4-5 around that time of the month. maybe it's your scale? I had a scale that would give me a different number everytime I steppe on it. I couldn't stand it, so I got one that was more consistent.

    I weighed myself this morning and was 136 but when I weighed myself this evening I was 142 ... kind of disappointing. But I know weight fluctuates and that using 2 different scales is to blame. But it is still pretty crazy how much it varies.

    I wish the scale was the case, but I actually own 2 scales and both read the same. I thought my original $10 scale was bad so I bought a super nice one, and it actually read almost the same, my new one always says I am .2 heavier, but otherwise the two scales tell me same weight.
    I actually don't even get my TOM cause I am on depo shot, so it so strange, but it seems from other posters that I am not the only whose weight varies by 10lbs once in a while. Hopefully when i get closer to my weight the difference won't be so much! :tongue:

    I can't get myself to weigh everyday. I usually weigh twice a week and mainly shoot for the mornings before eating.

    OMG I think I figured why I retain as much as 11lbs of water, I googled if depo shot can make you retain water and it actually does! I read an article on livestrong.com. I have been on depo for almost 3 years and no longer get my TOM, so it must be the depo shot that's making me retain so much, it's the only think that makes sense :P

    Usually 2-4 lbs. Don't worry about it. That's what your body does. It holds water to help your body operate: muscles, brain, joints, etc. You will also fluctuate on your period, after high sodium days or lots of alcohol. Just try to stay consistent, drink a lot of water, weigh ONCE a week, and you'll be fine.

    These posts make me feel so much better! I felt like I was alone in my crazy flucuations on the scale! My weight flucuates up to 10 lbs and it can be soooo frustrating! I was on depo several years ago and I'm on the BC pill now so maybe that has something to do with it.

    bet you anything the birth control effects the amounts of flactuations in weight, I guess different bodies respond differently. You're first person I met whose weight varies by as much as mine. The most I ever recorded to this day is 12lbs! So insane!

    My usual variation is 2-3 lbs from morning to evening and from day to day.
    My biggest variance was 20 lbs of water retention in one day.

    If I'm REALLY bloated it can vary all the way to about 8-10 pounds.

    On a regular day depending on how I ate and if I exercised it's more like 2 pounds

    Just curious to see how much your weight varies day to day, morning to night, whats the most it varied by?

    My last weigh-in I weighed: 165.4, last night it was 176, this morning 174.6, 4 days ago 169
    The most my weight varied by was 11lbs, talking about some serious water retention :P

    Wow, that's a big difference, guess I don't feel so bad now. My weight varies from 2.5 lbs. to as much as 4 pounds (on a bad eating day). I'm trying to get back under control right now. I feel the last two weeks have been tough food-wise for me. This next coming weekend isn't going to be much easier with going out of town and celebrating a birthday coming up.

    Wow, I suddenly feel more normal now. LOL. My avg. morning weight fluxuates 2 to 3 lbs everyday, If I weigh at night, I weigh 4 lbs more than I did in the am. If my TOM is near, I have been as much as 5 pounds heavier in the am...talk about going crazy until you learn the pattern...I usually see BIG drop after that...usually an additional 2lbs lighter than pre- PMS morning weigh in...Isn't the female body fantastic?!? :grumble:

    I'm about 3-4 pounds heavier in the evening than in the morning.
    (Spot checked this just to have a sense of what's normal for me and so I wouldn't freak out @ Dr's appts. which I usually schedule for the evening.)


    From day-to-day I bounce around in a 2-5 pounds.
