It's a conundrum - Folks should only get on the scale at a

Good point. *I always forget that other people don't like to weigh
themselves daily.

Personally, I find myself lucky to never swing more than a pound or
two, weighing myself in the morning like this.


Off the point you guys are making, but two things that may make some
people curious about weight fluctuation: I often weight one pound less
between the time I go to sleep and the time I wake up even though I
did not visit the washroom. I brought the point a few years ago, and
someone said the water loss is in the breathing. The second thing is
that I sometimes weight one more pound after taking a shower. Did my
body really suck up a pound of water?
