Is this normal or should I be worried?

So everyday or so I check my weight to be sure that I haven't gained to much. Well I started by checking every week, until I noticed I went from weighing 118 to 125 so then I started checking it more daily. Then I noticed that my weight keeps changing from day to day. At first it was just a few pounds like 118 to 120 but then I noticed that yesterday I weighed 124 and today I weigh 111? I didn't really do much exercise aside from gym class between these but I still don't think I'd lose that much. I also thought about how much I ate and it's pretty much the same amount, no overeating or under eating. Is there something wrong with me?

That's pretty normal. Water weight impacts your weight a lot. If you're not drinking enough or eat a lot of foods with high salt content you're gonna weight more because your body is storing water. A few pounds either way is normal and the bigger jumps is probably just not having enough water.

Thanks for the help!

Also you fluctuate during the day too so normally you'll weigh less in the morning or after a shower if you don't wash your hair (so it stays dry) than you will later on in the day. Don't stress it too much.

Depends on how much you drink day to day a lot of times. Everybodies weight fluctuates but I don't know if that much is normal.

It sounds like you're fine. If this persists, though, or if it becomes ever more drastic, I would definitely ask your doctor about what they recommend.
