Here we go again

I say muscle. I have quit looking at the scale and now I like to compare my measurements. I am building muscle so the scale does not reflect my fitness.

Your weight can fluctuate throughout the day... so try not to freak out. It will vary based on time of day (due to food and water consumption), what you are wearing as compared to the last weigh in, and whether or not you have had regular bowel and bladder movements. If you haven't had a bowel movement before your weigh in (and last time you did) you will often find yourself about 1-2lbs heavier. You may also have been wearing clothes that are sweat laden at the time of weigh in. That can also affect the weight report. If you aren't on a strict eating and workout schedule (meaning no matter what you eat at a set time and workout at a set time), try to watch the times that you eat and workout... having unburned food and no recent bowel movement (meaning stored food in the digestive tract) can easily cause variations in weight. Monitor those and try to weigh in under similar conditions each time... for the most accurate weigh ins. Hope this helps!
