What is the logic here?

My weight fluctuates a lot too, which is why I never weigh myself.

I can tell my weight by how my clothes fit, and take measurements.

It keeps me more accountable. If I see I'm up a couple of lbs it's easier to correct than 10.

+1. It’s really easy to put on weight. Weighing daily keeps me accountable. Just like checking my checking account balance keeps me accountable

Dehydration for me.

Or, if hydrated, it means I've avoided some food my body hates and I was able to drop the water weight.

Funny you say that. My gut feels the best first thing in the morning. As the day goes on, I get more and more bloated. Generally the more fiber I have in my diet the worse the bloating is. If I add a good amount of fat into my diet I am a lot more regular and less bloated. It sucks because I love salads and veggies.

So are you still 132 this morning?

I'm 131 this morning.

OP here, and yes I do. I just lost 70 lbs and am trying to lose the last 10. Weighing myself daily works. Some days I'm up and some days I'm down. I'm just looking for a consistent downward trend over the week or so. It's usually a pound or two fluctuations but I've never seen a 4 lbs difference from one day to the next.

+1

As for people rejoicing they "lost 2 pounds"...it only counts if you can keep it off day after day, week after week.

I have IBS and this is pretty standard. The bloating is intense. I weigh 3-4lbs at the end of the day than I do at the beginning. I also only go #2 every 2-3 days or so.

Poop.

I kind of think it's my scale too.

It's not. Every time I have ever thought this I have put a dumbbell on it and it is exact.
