Weight variation morning to night

Hi I've noticed that if I weigh myself at night I'm 3 -4 lbs more and was wondering if this is a usual amount of variation. It takes my weight from kind of ok to not, so I'd like to know!

If you weigh yourself at night, all you're doing is weighing yourself plus all the food and drink you have had that day!

Always best to weigh first thing in the morning.

Why are you weighing yourself twice a day?!

I only venture near the scales first thing in the morning.

Naked. After squeezing out two wees. And removing my earrings. And blowing my nose. Every little helps

It's not exactly a regular occurrence; sometimes the dds get the scales out at bathtime and having shocked myself at my weight I've checked again in the morning. It just got me thinking ...

Cheesy, I can only weigh if all your conditions are met too. Except I don't wear earrings. And I have to have had a poo.

It's normal to weigh more in the evenings.

I'm like Cheesy too: when I'm dieting I weigh myself starkers, first thing in the morning after a wee and before jumping into the shower. When I'm not dieting, I avoid the scales at all costs, morning or evening.

First thing here too. After a wee, before a drink, no clothes. After a long run works for me too. I'm always lighter after.

I suck my stomach in tooBlush

Weight can fluctuate dramatically over the day. All that food and liquid and general bloating.

I'm with Cheesy on this one.......only get on the scales first thing in the morning, butt naked, after a wee a poo if possibe) and for some reason I breathe in :)
