How much does a persons weight fluctuate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Day to day variations are usually within a few pounds, but of course any change in diet and/or exercise can cause a bigger shift. For those looking to lose weight, please understand that you are not likely to move the scale overnight. It may take weeks to months to see the benefit from slow steady changes in your eating and exercise. Don't give up.
