Daily is fine: Weighing at around the same time daily is fine ( i advise weighing multiple times a day though) and know that water/sleep/stress/different scale/clothes/food will make a difference.. So same scale, same clothes, same time - either daily or weekly is fine!

I notice that when I weigh myself in the morning I will weight 175-176. If I weigh myself at night it will be 179-180. Is this concerning? Is it normal to weigh 4 pounds or so less in the morning? I feel great otherwise. Dr Google made me worry?
