relax, these fluctuations are very normal. If you get too frustrated about this there is a big change you cannot keep it up, so if that is the case stop weighing in daily. To me it was an eyeopener to see these fluctuations after a year and finally realize that they where normal. I could even see a montlhy spike, if you know what im talking about (as a woman) just keep it up, your body will adjust to your new lifestyle. 

Water and food weight. Sadly, it makes a HUGE difference day to day. Especially if you aren't passing stool everyday, also. Weighing daily is a little pointless, but it does help keep one motivated? 

I know what you mean! When the scale is showing that I am in a "plateau", I just remind myself that I am already doing my best to get healthier and my body will just continue to respond as I go along. =) 

Plus, plateau could just mean you have gained more muscle and lost fat.  

Thanks to everybody! I like to weight in every day - it is like a tradition. The same as shower and coffee in the morning. Despite sometimes it shows weight number pluses, sometimes it makes me stay motivated. When I see the increase, it is easier to get myself to go to a gym or do some extra walking. But in general I count the progress every Tue. I've lost 2kgs since last Tue!! 

Wow! Great progress! It is good you can stay so motivated!  

You are doing great keep up the great work. I wish I was losing 2 kilos a week every week. I like to weight in everyday also, I hate those plus days. Keep charging. 

I check myself out every morning just to see but I don't obsess unless there's a huge unexpected jump. This gives me an idea of where I am as I am tracking toward my Friday morning weigh in at Weight Watchers.
