Why is my weight going fluctuating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info please: Weight fluctuates due to metabolism, including eating/drinking, and elimination of waste. Technically, when food or drink is going in a person is gaining weight, and when you're not consuming you're losing weight. If you're exercising, you're losing more weight. Fluctuation is normal. If your weight varies abnormally your doctor can examine you to check for a cause. Look at weight averages.
