Over the past 2 years, mine has been up to as high as 94kg and as low as 79 kg but I average from 84-89kg.
I just weighed myself and I'm 89kg. I was 84kg 3 weeks ago.
If I really watch the diet and do lots (say 7 hours per week) of cardio training I could lose 5 kilos in 2 weeks no problem. I could put it back on just as fast....

Is this quite normal?

Edit BTW I'm Male, 36, 182cm tall, 34" waist, 42" chest

A lot of that will be fluctuations in hydration. 5kgs of fat = 45000 kcals. In two weeks that means a deficit of 3200 kcals a day - that's about 5 hours of exercise a day, with a normal food intake - or an hour a day if you ate nothing at all.

Not doubting your figures, as my weight can fluctuate by 1kg in a couple of days - and I'm 68kgs, 5'10", 39. That's pretty much all water/glycogen being stored or burnt.

(Based on average male needing 2500kcals a day, hour moderate exercise being about 650kcals. Ignoring raised metabolic rate through exercise... etc etc...)

My weight stays reasonably constant,but I am a skinny ****er. I'm 5'10",10 and a half stone. I did get to 11 stone,re-started mountain biking and promptly lost half a stone. I'm not particuarly careful with my diet,but eat plenty of fresh fruit and veg. No MacDonalds KFC etc,makes me feel ill.

Weigh yourself pre and post a number 2. With correct diet the day before you can see your bady weight fluctuate by 3-4 lb in a very short period of time.

Mine is an elevator!

80kg in Summer, 102kg in winter and 94kg in Spring.

Seasonal and bloody work. I need to keep my mouth closed and stop eating junk in winter and discover riding in cold weather etc.

Currently 76kg. Last summer, I was down to about 72kg, and I can easily add 3kg over the festive period through over-indulgence and under-exercising. My weight can easily fluctuate by 2kg over the course of a couple of days too.

1.71m / 51yo

Best of all with a bit of hovering you could weigh yourself throughout the process.

now if someone would invent a toilet seat that could display both my body weight and bowl (silent 'e') content on the wall opposite I'd buy that for a shilling.

Don't know about kg but I range from 10 stone to 10st11 in the space of a few weeks. Also depends on how much exercise I do
