Is it possible for your weight to fluctuate a couple pounds day to day?

Yes: A person's weight can fluctuate a couple of pounds each day, depending on how much food, water, poop, and pee are (or are not) in his body at the time he is weighed. If he is weighed with his clothes on, then one must also consider the weight of the clothes and items in the pockets.
