Daily weight fluctuations - whats yours?
05 Mar 2013, 18:15

Hi

I'm addicted to weighing and i find that my weight fluctuates by around 3lb's from one day to then next - now i know this can be water or food in the gut but wondered has anyone else noticed how much they fluctuate by?

See you when we get there

Mine fluctuates by up to 7lbs during the day, combo of my weight yo'yoing and the dodgy scales.

weighing first thing in a stable state I can see 2 or 3 lb changes if I've done something to increase my carb intake or retain water.

I can easily pee and (less easily) pooh a pound, probably TMI but gives a context to the size of the change. The water content of the body is not tightly regulated, unlike say blood sugar (5 grams)
