Weight can vary up and down a lot, due to hormones, water etc so it's important to compare weekly trends, and also to weigh at the same time on the same scales, for example every Monday morning 😊 But that's good that it's down! Mornings are generally the "lightest" time to get weighed 😊

anna61 is bang on. In addition if you are using digital scales then try to put them in the same place on the floor each time you weigh yourself.

Was using old scales just bought some weight watchers ones (in the sale) with bmi and water readings) so looking forward to them arriving ?! I think 😳 thank you for your reply

The problem with scales I find is that if you stand a certain way you can get different readings !! Eg leaning forward , leaning back etc I try to stand etright and my toes in the same place each time !! Leaning forward on mine (digital) I get a fantastic reading if you know what I mean ! 😇
