Interesting! Most people do not realize that weight can fluctuate several pounds EVEN when you are losing weight! I have people panic when they start their weight loss journey. They jump on the scale daily and when they see the scale go up,, they Give up!! What they dont realize its normal!! Read: Dont worry if you get on the scale and find that your weight has gone up or down a few pounds from the day before. This variation is perfectly normal, according to CNN Health diet and fitness expert Dr. Melina Jampolis. Your body weight can fluctuate anywhere from 2 to 4 pounds per day on average, notes an August 2012 U.S. News & World Report article. Potential Causes The amount of food you eat, how much water you drink, how much you exercise and how much youve gone to the bathroom can all temporarily influence your weight. Weight training can cause your muscles to retain water, and your body may also retain more water if youve eaten a lot of carbohydrates. Salty food intake, hormonal fluctuations and constipation can also affect your weight, temporarily making you a few pounds heavier than usual. Weighing yourself once a week on the same day and at the same time of day can help you get a more accurate idea of what you weigh and how your weight is changing.
