The downside of weighing daily: fluctuations may influence your mind.
Roughly said your weight fluctuates daily because of gain or loss of tissue (smallest component), because of biomass fluctuations in your digestive system and because of your bodies water economy. The latter is influenced by various factors including nutrition, caloric intake, stress, sleep quality and quantity, hormones, infections, climate/temperature, etc etc.
I have seen gaining and losing in a single day up to 5kg without changing the daily regime, just stuff happening under the hood. Hence why you want to count your calories to have another metric.
The info you had pretzels by itself is utterly worthless
So youre telling us that your weight goes from 138 to 153 in one day of eating normally?
You're a fricking liar

I'm OP. I've lost 2lbs in 1 week. Youre lying so hard. 15lbs in one day. No cheat meal, is unheard of. Even if you drank water all day, you'd piss it out before it reached 15lbs

You know that means the inverse is true too. That your weight would go from 153 to 138 in a single day. Unless you took a giga shit and pissed the niagra falls. It ain't happening

Water & bolus weight fluctuates rapidly. Your weight can easily vary by 10-15lbs within 48 hours simply due to your hydration level and the weight of all the food in your digestive tract.
Day by day comparisons are pointless because of this. This is why you make measurements as consistent as possible , such as "in the morning, after toilet, before eating/drinking".
nah bro, I can easily get backed up and not have a proper shit for a few days, especially when i'm cutting. combine that with a lot of sodium + water and I can easily drop over 15lbs by shitting + pissing + dry fasting for ~24 hours.
I weigh myself every day just to be able to say what weight I hit a given lift at, but as long as you know that what really matters us end of week weight I think you're fine tbh
if the bowl of pretzels put you on a +3500kcal surplus then yes. if not then its water. pretzels are very salty and if you "binged" on them instead of having it as part of your diet you suddenly stocked up on plenty of salt and now you are just holding 1lbs of more water which is very little. even something like 3-5lbs wouldnt have been that unreasonable after a "frick-up". but bare in mind its not fat. nobody should care about losing weight and micromanaging arbitrary numbers. you should only care about muscle and fat ratio. you want to lose fat, not muscle, not water, not bone mass, nothing else.
>if not then its water. pretzels are very salty and if you "binged" on them instead of having it as part of your diet you suddenly stocked up on plenty of salt and now you are just holding 1lbs of more water which is very little
This. Lots of morons shitposting but it's just this. 1lb of extra water is only 15.34 oz; literally less than two cups.
Weighing yourself daily is a bad idea. There's too many things that fluctuate from one day to the next, it muddies the data.
Like maybe you took a bigger shit on the 6th than on the 4th. Impossible to know.
Should be weighing yourself once a week or less, at the same time of day (i.e. Sunday morning right after you wake up and piss)
how low is your iq? just genuinely curious. there is no way you ever got a degree thats for sure.
like you think MORE data points muddies the data but not less? >Like maybe you took a bigger shit on the 6th than on the 4th. Impossible to know.
Yeah? And with 7 data points that bigger shit will have much lower impact on the final result where as if you weigh yourself only once a week what if you had bigger shit on that day?
If you weigh yourself daily you have 80kg, 79kg, 77kg (giant shit), 79,5kg, 79kg, 79,8kg, 79,5kg.
If you weigh yourself weekly you have 80kg as your starting weight then after one week 77kg (giant shit) your average weight is 78,5kg where as if you weighed everyday its ~79kg. More data is ALWAYS more accurate.
OP is trying to find a trend in 8 consecutive days' data. There are advantages in having more data points, but if you narrow your scope too much and focus on local behavior rather than global you'll get fallacious conclusions. Weighing yourself daily is redundant and excessive if you're wanting useful data. It's wasteful, really. >there is no way you ever got a degree thats for sure

There is only 8 days in the year. Of course the data has less clarity but you can still find an early trend that will point you in the right direction. Looking at the trend line, its clear that OP has indeed a downward trend line. Even with the hills and valleys the trendline is in the right direction
All OP has to do is keep doing what they are doing, lose weight for about another week. Then you can calculate your average loss per day and loss per week.
Still, with this many data points you can see that OPs body goes through periods where he gains a bit of extra water weight and loses that water weight. But the hills line up parallel to the trend line. This is a good thing and it means you are indeed losing body fat.
>you can still find an early trend that will point you in the right direction
No you can't, that's the entire point I was making.
Might as well get weight loss advice from an astrology hoe at that point.
Also, >t. doesn't know how to make an Excel graph automatically calculate a Line of Best Fit
What are you talking about? Yes you can. 8 data points, clear patterns, anyone good enough to analyze data can tell you I'm correct.
>best fit line
I literally downloaded the picture. I'm sure I'm accurate with the trendline though

you can find a pattern in 8 points, but not a useful one as it pertains to fitness. for the record, the calculated trendline has a slope indicating a drop of 0.439kg per day.
dipshits that fall for the Keto meme drop 15 lbs in two weeks and then rebound right back. OP's data won't be usable for another few weeks.
At least half of the datapoints OP will collect between now and when the data's useful will be redundant, is my point. Speculating on any trend in the current dataset is tea-leaf reading.

Obviously you'd take the numerical values with a grain of salt as weightloss commonly has its biggest differential in the first few days. The point is to look at the trend visually. The peaks are parallel to the trendline, that's all you need to know, for now at least.
And what's the problem with that? If I'm short should I give up? Transition? Kill myself?
Frick off. I'm the height I am and I'm going to be the best I can be at the height that I am.
1lbs could be anything. Could just mean you drank a lot of water or didn't take a shit yet.
If you tend to worry about these fluctuations I advise weighing yourself once a week.

Nobodies weight is fluctuating 15lbs unless you did a cheat day

That was at around 230 pounds. My guess is: drastic temperature drop + infection happening “under the hood” + bad sleep/stress.
Your weight can fluctuate, schizo, weighing yourself every single day is obsessive and moronic
I'm going to weigh myself every day for 365 days and there's nothing you can do to stop me

Chad that doesn't use TA
>doesn't beyond pre calculus, prob not even algebraic
Made a chart. Not bad, steady loss over the week
Nice job must be so hard not lifting and not stuffing your face you fat moron
I lift 5 days a week
>2lb water fluctuating loss after "diet" and "exercise"
HAHAHAHAHA
Thats not bad at all. 1lb a week is a pretty good rate
You did a weight chart but not gym program?
What makes you think I don't have a program?
Why didn't you post it?
You tell me.
It’s water weight from the salt of the pretzels
I laughed
Thanks
Keep going, don't forget to also take progress pictures once a month at least and workout and walk daily
>eat salty snack
>drink more water
>scale weight goes up
you dumb Black person
How manlet do you have to be to start at 158.8 lbs and think "I need to lose weight"
And what's the problem with that? If I'm short should I give up? Transition? Kill myself?
Frick off. I'm the height I am and I'm going to be the best I can be at the height that I am.
All the above
why are you eating pretzels in the first place?
Was watching jjk with the gf and had a Sunday snack
Bro I told you to not focus on the daily number and to take a weekly average. But anyways, you probably retained water from the salt in the pretzels
I know but I can't help it
