Normal weight issues?

[TiaraSai]

So at the beginning of the summer I weighed about 116. Now I weigh about 113, and it fluctuates during the day, everyday, but that's the average. Like in the mornings I weigh 112.5 and by night I weigh 113.8. It seems those numbers keep going down, one week it fluctuated between 111.2 and 112.8. I'm only 5'4". Is that something normal that happens? It just changes all the time, so I'm not sure...And I'm always worried about my weight. I don't know if that's good or bad lol I'm not on any diet or anything, I eat plenty, though I am really picky about what I eat.

Yeah, weight fluctuates a lot during the day. It's not like you're gaining or losing a pound of fat throughout the day, it's just water weight, so don't freak. Also, it helps to only weigh yourself once a day, around the same time everyday (like when you first wake up, for instance), so that you can get a more consistent and reliable idea of what your weight is. And expect your weight to fluctuate a lot when you're on your period -- I sometimes gain up to four pounds of retained water when I get my period. It's all temporary and there's no need to panic.

Also, your weight sounds awesome for your height. I'm guessing you're on the small side, which to me is just right. Try not to worry about it too much.

its normal for people to be worried about their weight but as long as you're remaining healthy then you'll be all set. also the weight fluctuations throughout the day are completely normal, especially if you have a fast metabolism. I'm about 5'9 and weigh on average about 120 lbs. but depending upon what part of the day it is or how much I ate that day I can lose or gain about five lbs. on/off that.

It's better to weigh yourself once a week at the same time, then to do it daily.

Weighing yourself daily will cause you to obsess over every little difference, and each person's metabolism works differently. Some people who lose three pounds of fat in a week, when weighed daily, appear to be gaining weight throughout the process when weighed daily.

Weighing weekly is a better schedule to follow, and will allow your body to do it's work, while not stressing yourself over every pound.

It's completely normal. Everyone's weight fluctuates over the course of a day. Back in April I would have a range of 7 pounds in a single day. That's a bit different because 1. I'm a guy and 2. that big of a range was due to the weight training and diet program I was on. Now my range is still about 3 pounds though. The point is it should happen and there's nothing to worry about.

that's just water weight. it's normal to wake up weighing less than you did when you went to bed and it's normal to fluctuate by a few pounds, especially for girls because we retain water more at certain times during our menstrual cycles.

Some people just really fluctuate a lot in their weight. Your weight is completely fine for your height.

it's normal to see small fluctuations throughout the day and also from day to day. it depends on what you eat, how much physical activity you've done that day.
