Lost weight at 7am, gained it back by 1pm

:: dropping in from IF board::

OK, I am new to this weight loss thing and trying to shed a few lbs before IVF#2 and I am doing well for my first week but I have an issue.

I weighed myself at 7:30am this morning, and I was 156.8lbs, by 1pm I was 158.8 lbs and I had only eaten a light breaky and lots of water when cleaning the house. Same thing happened 2 days ago but then yesterday I had dropped 2lbs in a day.

Can anyone give me some insight to what my body is really doing here? I am logging all food etc and netting around 1500 calories a day. On Monday I was 162lbs so a large loss in just a few days but maybe it is my body just getting used to the lower cal. I have always eaten very healthily and now just trying to eat lower cal and higher protein for IVF and ensuring I have at least 8 glasses of water or tea a day.

Thoughts anyone??

::back to the IF board I go:: TIA!

    It's water weight. Weighing yourself multiple times a day or even daily will only tell you about your hydration status.

     Not to mention 1 lb is 3500 calories. So you can't expect to lose 2 lbs in one day except when it's water weight.

    That is normal. Its not like you are really are gaining 2 pounds that day. Its just water weight and then the next morning you will most likely be 156 lb again or less if you are dieting. It happens to me everyday :)

    I always weigh first thing in the morning after i pee with only my underwear on.  after i eat breakfast i expect to already be 1 pound heavier and by the end of the day up to 3 pounds heavier.  the scale can really drive you nuts , so just do it once daily and stick to that same time every day.  I don't weigh myself on weekends because i tend to cheat and not care what i eat or drink for 2 days

    Just weigh yourself in the morning..before eating or drinking, after going to the bathroom.  Everyone can fluctuate a few lbs per day.

    Thanks! So overthinking it was the reason for it driving me crazy!

    Walking 3 miles a day and putting in the occasional light jog with the dog

    You should also have your body fat measured that might be better than weighing yourself because your weight will fluctuate daily mine fluctuate's around 3lbs.
