*6 Reasons Why Your Weight Fluctuates*
Weight fluctuations — whether from undereating, eating more energy-dense food, changing your workouts, sleeping more or less, or whatever else — are OK.
As humans, our weight fluctuates — it’s just a fact.
Dr. Kara Mohr says these fluctuations can be due to a number of factors, including:
1️⃣ You need to use the restroom. Whether it’s No. 1 or No. 2, this can lead your weight to fluctuate up to a couple of pounds.
2️⃣ You ate more salt than usual. This can cause our bodies to retain more water, and more water means more weight.
3️⃣ You ate more carbs than usual. Of all the macronutrients, carbs have the greatest scale impact because one gram of muscle glycogen (i.e., stored carbohydrate) contains three grams of water.
4️⃣ You’re about to start your period. Hormones, water retention, cravings, and under- or overeating can all cause fluctuations.
5️⃣ You’re recovering from a hard workout. Some of us retain water after a hard workout because of the inflammation created by the microtrauma (i.e., small tears) in muscles created during the workout.
Also, some folks drink lots of water during workouts, while others don’t drink enough (drink your water, folks!), and some people sweat a ton. Long story short — fluctuations are totally normal here.
6️⃣ You’re human and it happens. While life is full of uncertainty, what is certain is this: things change. Priorities change. Bodies change. And it’s fine.
What else would you add to this list?

If you always wait for Monday to make a change or start over, you have significantly fewer opportunities to change your life. Everyday we have the option to become 1% better! In fact, that’s the gym motto - 1% better everyday! (Well, that and no burpees EVER 😂).
Stop waiting for Mondays to make a change. This time next year, will you be 365% better, or still waiting for Monday morning?
PS - We have a brand new opportunity to get started coming your way. Stay tuned for details!
