Maybe that scale is broken? I mean that is a wild swing of weight!

Thought of that first too or maybe needs new batteries.

Fluid consumption through the day will affect your weight. If you eat salty food, you will retain Fluid too. Hormones also play havoc on the scales. Rule of thumb, weigh yourself at the same time before eating/drinking and after toilet if to get a dry weight.

Yes, my weight fluctuates quite a bit throughout the day. But I also suggest checking the batteries in your scale just to be safe.

Weigh your self once a week on the same day at the same time. You'll have better results if your not constantly stepping on the scale. Especially because your weight fluctuates every day.

So I heard that five days before our periods, our bodies retain 5 to 10 pounds of Water.

I am finding it very hard to believe..

I believe it. I gained 5 lbs overnight with my period (and coming off BC pills).

Make sure you don't need new batteries... weigh in the mornings after going to the bathroom. Without clothes. Stay consistent with that pattern. I know you shouldn't weigh EVERY DAY but for some of us its hard. I often weigh myself at night and usually notice like a 1-2 lb difference from the morning weight. Also I will usually step on the scale at least twice to make sure the numbers are consistent. If you find that its different each time it may be time to get a new scale.
