How much should weight fluctuate throughout the day? what's normal? 1-2 lbs?

Let me explain: In general, your weight can fluctuate as much as few pounds throughout the course of the day. If you weight yourself at various points during the day, the number of the scale can differ anywhere from a few ounces to a few pounds.

About right.: Normal scales may vary quite a bit, but mechanical failures aside, you can lose 600cc of urine and a few hundred grams of stool at any given time such that your wt might vary between 1 and 2 lbs based on elimination alone.
