What's a normal daily weight loss?

[Fressia123]

I know it ends up averaging but I lost 200g overnight and feel super happy.

I go up 2lbs throughout the day because of the weight of my food. So depends on what time of day you weigh.
Could also depend on what you're wearing. What you've drink/eaten. Whether you've been to the toilet.
You're better off weighing weekly at the same time each day to get a true picture.

I always weight myself first thing in the morning, after I've been to the loo. In the evening I tend to weight at least two pounds heavier than in the morning.

While weighing each day, (once a day and the same time each day) the weight-loss bit should be taken over a week. Some days you will fluctuate due to hormones or whatever.

Are you really weighing twice a day? If you are that is a very unhealthy thing to do.

I do yeah... But I don't get frustrated at all. I love statistics so I like to see trends in the things I do. Or I like to calculate the weight of wet hair for example..

@Fressia123, with all due respect, that is a very unhealthy obsession with weight. What are your stats?

Two llbs a week is normal so that would be about 200g per day, just don’t get disheartened if it isn’t a smooth downwards. As long as you are losing a bit each week things are going in the right direction.

I really don't think yiu should be examining weight loss down to this detail. Weight loss can be very up and down over a week or month. Looking for a loss daily overnight seems unhealthy.

So I know that over the weekend there's I tend to not lose weight so I rarely weight myself on Mondays. Statistically I usually show a bigger weight loss on Thursdays and when I have my period I tend to not lose weight either.

I only write down anytime I reach a lower weight. I rarely weight myself in the evening . When I lost 4st I know the last 5 kilos made me look too thin for my liking. I look at my best with a BMI of 23. Unfortunately I've always been heavier than I look, so I do have to keep track of weight, rather than how I look.

This is pro ana craziness.

Actually there’s no point trying to discuss it with you so I’m just going to report the thread, but it is pro-ana, and those kinds of thoughts are contagious amongst the susceptible.

You need to contact an eating disorder charity or therapist or speak to your GP.

Normal and daily don't really belong in the same sentence for weight loss. Chill.

How can I be anorexic when I aim for an extremely healthy BMI? Weighing daily is not uncommon, in the end it averages out. ...

This thread is not pro ana. Daily weighing works for some people.

I don’t think you’ll find any reputable doctor, dietitian or organisation recommending daily weighing, measuring weight loss in grams, or “ calculat[ing] the weight of wet hair”. The reason for that is that those are not healthy ways of thinking or behaving.

It doesn’t matter whether you are or not. Other people are anorexic (or bulimic etc) and it is really bad for them to read this irresponsible bilge.

Not a word on that link about calculating weight of wet hair, weighing after going to the loo, or weighing in grams. So it doesn’t support your disordered thinking.

@RickiTarr, I reported the thread at 7:45. MNHQ have decided to leave it up for whatever reason.

That’s one of their worse decisions by some way, if I am allowed to politely offer an opinion @TomorrowIsAnotherDae

I will put this here for anyone who is recovering or triggered though;

I've actually figured out that going to the toilet makes no difference, and wet hair I think would be 500g at most, but for me it was out of curiosity more than anything else. Like I said I'm not anorexic and apologise if this triggers anyone, that was never the intention.

I weigh myself almost every day and I absolutely do not and never have had an eating disorder.

In the exante thhreadthet weight themselves every day.
