Biggest Weight Swing?
A lot of people get discouraged when the scale shoots up two pounds overnight.
A lot of other people get super optimistic when they drop 12 pounds in two weeks.
I think it would be illustrative for people to share their biggest scale swings from weigh-in to weigh-in.
Just before I started trying to bulk I lost two pounds overnight. Two days later, the scale was up six pounds.
Life goes on.

A very long time ago ( I am talking 8-9 years ago ) I had issues with eating. I had problems with binge eating, but I would go without food for a long time afterwards or even purge it, which lead to a cycle of binging and starving. My weight fluctuated like crazy... sometimes as much as 10 lbs in a week, but then I would be down the 10 lbs soon after. No bueno! I haven't had any craziness like that in my life in 7 years.0

I probably over did it on a workout one evening. I weighed myself the next day and almost had a mental breakdown. I was up FIVE and a HALF POUNDS!
Then I realized I had a brain and thought about what I did to my body the day before. I asked google, and multiple sources said that I would retain weight after a big workout as my muscles make every effort to repair themselves. Weighed myself again this morning and I am right back where I was at my last 'official' weigh in. No serious harm done. But MAN did I get worried for a bit.0 -
5lbs after a week on holiday, all inclusive!0

(Think I posted this earlier on a post about don't freak if your feeling fat and bloated, thought I'd experiment.)
11lbs up today from Monday! Had a huge epic meal last night and I get some pretty bad pms (pcos) bloat.
Salt + post epic munchies night + pms = 11lbs.
Eh, generally over the next 48 hours ill likely drop 12 and all will be normal. Don't freak about scales people, they are evil, weight fluctuates for so many reasons!!!!

This past Sunday I was curious how much water weight my muscles would retain from a 6 mile hilly rocky trail hike, so I weighed myself that morning and then weighed Monday morning.
I gained 7 lbs lol. In 1 day. It's already almost all gone again.0
