How much does your weight fluctuate?

I am very sensitive to sodium so if I eat "bad" for a day I can see a fluctuation of 5-7 lbs in one day. ie: yesterday I had chinese food and gained 5 lbs. I know that in about 2 days I lose the weight, but just wondering if anyone else is as super sensitive as me?

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

The most I've seen myself gain in a day is 3lbs. Like you said, it usually comes off in a day or two. I can always tell too, as I'm stepping on the scale and cringing lol

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

my weight fluctuates like crazy..i just got back from a vaction and i gained 7 pounds in 5 days... 3-4 of it was probably water weight

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

I usually gain between 1-3 lbs after a good cheat meal. It takes me a few days for it to come off, but I usually notice a substantial drop in one day after. The remainder takes a bit longer!

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

My weight can fluctuate a lot during the day. After a run I can be down 3 pounds and then that same day after dinner I am up 3 pounds from the morning. So it can range from 2-6 pounds throughout the day. From day to day, I fluctuate 1-3 pounds.

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

These days, 2-3 pounds.

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

Throughout the week it usually ranges around 6lbs. (3 up and 3 down).

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

Yup, I'm about 3 in water weight too. I notice when I have meetings at work, I tend to drink a lot of water (boredom?) so the next day, I wind up seeing a difference.

Also, Monday mornings are rough because I'm not watching my food intake as closely on the weekend. Sometimes it's hard to tell what is "real" weight and what is just water weight.

Do you ever check your ankles?

This may sound crazy but when I'm really retaining a lot of water, I can't see my ankle bones as well and if I press the skin, it doesn't smooth out right away. Pizza does it, pretzels, really sodium heavy stuff like that.

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

If I eat REALLY bad+high sodium foods, I will gain 2-3 pounds, 4 was the most I've gained overnight. I usually lose it though in 2 days.

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

I eat very low sodium, high water, loads of fruits and vegetables and lean protein. I wake up one weight and go to bed 5+ pounds heavier, wake up lighter, do my business, run, and am at my lowest weight again. During my period, I am up almost 8lbs but go back down after

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

I fluctruate within a 5 pound range throughout the day/week.

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

5-7lbs. I hate it, especially since I plateaued and I haven't actually lost weight in at least a month

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

3-5 pounds depending on what it was that I had.
Had my first cheat meal in over a month yesterday (all you can eat Alaskan crab legs!!) and was up almost 4 pounds this morning...but my ring is tight and I can't stop running to the bathroom to tinkle (sorry TMI)

And if its time for AF it can go up as much as 8 pounds some months (thank goodness AF only lasts 2 days at the longest so I basically hide at home in pajamas for those days )

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

I fluctuate up to 4 lbs or so on a daily basis. I'm also very sensitive to sodium but my doctor attributed it to PCOS.

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

A lot usually. I can see anywhere from 3-5 lbs in day from water weight, too much salt, bad eating, etc.

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

I think it is pretty stable. Maybe 1 or 2 pounds.

Re: How much does your weight fluctuate?

I fluctuate within 2 or 2.5 lbs
