Why?

I weigh myself officially once a week (Sunday) for the weight anaylsis on CC.  However, being the naturally curious person I am,  I don't understand is why my weight will be one amount and then 3 lbs more the very next morning!  It is so fustrating because I log my weight on Sunday and then I am 2-3 lbs more Monday morning...so I spend my whole week getting back to where I was at the beginning of the week!!  At this rate, I am never going to loose any lbs!!!!!!

Any advise would be great

Thanks!!

Water weight.  Just chill

how about why can my weight be 4 pounds less one morning and back up the next! that's even worse!!

Body weight changes all the time, usually reflecting how well-hydrated you are.  Foods high in salt, sugar, artificial sweetners, caffeine or alcohol, for example, can be dehydrating and lead to fluid retention (temporary weight-gain).   Whereas f oods with more fibre & fluid help you to remove waste products from your body and this reduces fluid retention. 

So if you want a more stable weight keep your sugar intake below 50g, your sodium levels below 2400mg, drink plenty of plain fluids and eat plenty of fresh vegetables.

gi-jane explained it perfectly.

I weigh first thing in the morning (after I pee but before I eat or drink anything). If find that I usually "weigh less" on Saturday and Sunday because I sleep longer. I perspire when I sleep and I imagine an extra hour or two of sleep leaves me a bit dehydrated (I am usually VERY thirsty when I wake up).

Some people weigh every morning and average the weights at the end of the week. I am considering doing this myself. I find it too easy to get caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations instead of focussing on the overall trend.
