How many pounds should you fluctuate in the same day? Weighed 224 this morning and now weigh 228??? I know normally you shouldnt weigh twice so close together but my son said stand on it mommy lol so i did...is this normal?

yeah, you have to take account for what you've eaten and drank since you weighed this morning, normal fluid balance, respiration, etc...

True but 4 pounds is a lot lol

I have OCD so I would weigh every 10 minutes if I let myself! And I've seen huge fluctuations within hours when I've done that. I now weigh in the morning only. I've done a lot less freaking out since I started that. :-)

Also, it could be the scale. At one point I had one that would give me 3-4 lb differences. Needless to say I got rid of that one. My new one is very accurate. Usually within 1/2 lb of the expensives one at my doctor or gym. Also I measure with the scale in the same place everytime, that does help.

Not really when you realize it's not 4 pounds of fat but water, food, gasses, etc...

I look at it like this: I'm not trying to lose weight. I'm trying to lose fat. So the scale, while a tool that can measure fat, measures everything else as well and cannot give me a 100% accurate story of my overall body composition.
