I fluctuate by +\- 3lbs per day. I always weigh myself first thing in the morning. Apparently you're at your lightest then! And it also coincides with me being in my pjs, so roughly the same clothes each time.
 
same here first thing, 3lbs? how is that possible? i havent been more than 1/4lb different since on the diet :( well not upwards anyway.
tks :)

My close friend is a dietician, she says it's completely normal and is based on my pretty varied diet. Water retention, hormones, all that stuff plays a part.

If you're on a diet is guess you eat similar things most days? That should mean a steady weight, or hopefully weightloss!
 
I've heard that it takes three days for weight to go on if you have eaten too much. Just done a quick search on Google but can't find any evidence of this.
