      The longer you stand upright, the more your spine compresses. I doubt it's an inch a day, but a fraction there of, YES.

      OK, you convinced me. Shorter. And heavier. The world is a cruel place.

      Save yourself a lot of stress and get on the scales no more than once a week (same time every week).

      If it is a digital scale, check if your lithium battery is low because you may need to change it. It affects readings.

      Weighing yourself twice a day is not only unnecessary, but seems a bit unhealthy.

      Water weight. It's normal.

      Let's be honest, I just enjoy using the word obtuse.

      I would think you would have plenty of opportunities around here . . .

      Do yourself and everyone around you a favor. Either have someone hide your scale and let you use it once a week or throw the damn thing away.

      Is this supposed to happen? I weigh myself in the morning and I'm 119/118 and when I weigh myself in the afternoon i'm 5 pounds heavier?? This scares me..

      Weight absolutely varies, day to day, hour to hour, 16ounces of water is a pound of weight, everything you consume weighs something until it is properly digested. Don't let the scale fool u!

      Yeah, only weight yourself in the morning, after you've gone to the bathroom, completely naked. This allows your food to digest and be used so it's the most accurate time

      are you serious? everything you eat and drink weighs something, it just doesn't disappear when you swallow it.

      :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
      sorry that made me chuckle. :drinker:

      That's happened to me plenty! Don't worry! You're good. It's just water weight. Now... if you're in weight watchers and your team leader is a **** like mine was, skip your meeting until you can get an early morning one (when you weigh less), cuz my meetings were @ 7:30pm and my (very overweight) team leader was nice enough to tell me I wasn't following the program and needed extra help!

      Did you eat and drink?

      Water weighs 8 lbs per gallon. 8 cups (64 oz) is 1/2 gallon = 4 lbs.

      Weigh yourself at a consistent time of day for the most accurate tracking. For me that is right after my morning shower and BM if I have the need. Weighing more than once a day is a bad idea. Weighing everyday will show your body weight is constantly changing by small amounts. Weighing once or twice a week is more than adequate for healthy weight tracking purposes.

      Absolutely normal. It's why I weigh myself in the mornings! :)
