Weight Fluctuation

scejas Posts: 16 Joined: 2004/01/31	2004/02/23, 09:47 PM Is it possible for ones weight to fluctuate 4lb from one day to another?
goldengloves Posts: 690 Joined: 2003/09/19	2004/02/23, 09:49 PM Yes mine fluctuates heavily during the day. When I wake up in the morning and step on the scale im 153 pounds when I go to bed Im around the 165 mark. Depends on how much water is in your body and the food you consume each day as well....It's probably just water weight though 4 pounds isnt anything to worry about. When it comes down to it im still 153 *disappointed*

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

I was so excited yesterday when i was 208 and down today cause i was 212.... as an aside I did some 8 hours of landscaping for a friend this weekend...worked my butt off -- I guess I can subsitute my work out that day for that amount of work right?
