I try not to weigh myself too frequently for that very reason and just bear in mind the overall trend :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-my-weight-always-fluctuate-5lbs#post-799524 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:38:45 +0000 googly-eyes 799524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because you eat, shower, etc. I think you're only supposed to weigh in once per week because of that..but I am guilty too since I've just started losing weight. Once I hit a "normal" weight I tend to go up/down five lbs often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-my-weight-always-fluctuate-5lbs#post-799472 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:57:10 +0000 Anagram 799472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine fluctuates so much right now in pregnancy. This last doctor's appt I was really excited because I was finally going to have no weight gain, according to my at home scale. But then the night before I noticed my feet swelling a lot. The next morning, my weight was the same but pretty much the second I got to work, my feet and ankles puffed up hugely. I started to drink tons of water.... By the time I got home, I was up 5 lbs and had to go to my appointment. I was SO upset, because I didn't think the doctor would believe that I'd just gained it all in the past 24 hours.</p> <p>After peeing twice at the doctors, I was still up three lbs. suuuucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-my-weight-always-fluctuate-5lbs#post-799404 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:28:26 +0000 LovelyPlum 799404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: ...and after I pee. Then I'm not measuring the water weight :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-my-weight-always-fluctuate-5lbs#post-799350 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:58:38 +0000 heffalump 799350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I weigh myself naked before eating anything in the morning. I think that helps with consistency. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-my-weight-always-fluctuate-5lbs#post-799281 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:35:15 +0000 rachiecakes 799281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I do usually drink a liter of water a day at least. Hmm.. It's so frustrating. Hehe, I can get competitive! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-my-weight-always-fluctuate-5lbs#post-799279 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:33:04 +0000 shopaholic 799279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! All my life! I actually shouldn't be too alarmed, I've gone up/down 7lbs on many a days. I think I just retain and drink a lot of fluids.<br /> Strangely enough, the ONLY time my weight didn't really fluctuate was while I was pregnant. I'd only fluctuate 1-2 lbs a day then. But now, I'm back to fluctuating 4-5lbs a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-does-my-weight-always-fluctuate-5lbs#post-799274 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:31:54 +0000 rachiecakes 799274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always within a 5lb give or take range. Within one week I can be 5lbs up or down, sometimes 2/3lbs in the same day. I have a brand new scale, tested it. It's me. What gives?<br /> I would totally be eliminated on The Biggest Loser.</p> <p>(I'm doing a fitness challenge so I've been weighing in daily. Last week I was down almost 10lbs from the start but today I'm up 3lbs. It's also AF week, grrr)</p> <p>Does this happen to anyone else? </p>
