How do you know if you need to lose 3 pounds?

I could possibly wake up tomorrow, take a shiit, and weigh 3 pounds less than I did this morning.  I don't get it when people say they need to lose less than 5 pounds.  How would you even know if you did?

    Maybe they have a goal weight?

    lol.  I think I missed an OP, but.... I weigh myself almost every morning and I usually weigh the same/within a pound or so. So if after a while, that range went up a bit, I might want to lose 2-3 pounds by cutting out junk for a little while. It is much easier that way than waiting until it gets to be a bigger amount.

    This wasn't really in reference to a specific OP, it just seems like I hear people saying that a lot, on here and IRL.  I totally get having a goal weight, I just can't imagine setting out to lose a couple pounds.  I weigh myself pretty much every morning too and I would say my range is about 3-4 pounds.  Maybe because I'm slightly above average in weight lol.

    Oh, ok. lol. :)  Either way, I agree that it is an odd thing to say out loud to someone excdept a very close friend/relative b/c it is basically saying that you think you are at/very close a perfect weight, rather than someone saying they want to lose 10 lbs or something... so, yeah I get what you're saying!

    Um, when you're 5'1" 3 pounds can be the difference between my pants fitting and not fitting.  So to me, 3 pounds is huge.

    hmm...if I gain 3lbs its pretty noticable. I'm 5'2 and 3lbs is a lot for me to gain. I'm about 7lbs over my normal weight right now and it really shows. I can't fit into the same jeans or shirts really. My friend who is 5'6" is about 20 lbs over but it looks about the same.
