I think it is still informative for new comers to show how much weight can vary on a daily basis. You could post average, min and max. 

Woot! Woot! Melissa👏 Recommend being patient with new process by giving it at least 2 months. As Eral mentioned, posting min/max range isn't a bad idea. I added those numbers a few months ago and plan to continue 

It is crazy how much weight can vary from day to day - I can go up or down 4 - 5 pounds! 

Good plan! I go up and down by 2 lbs and it's discouraging..gonna be watching how this works for you! 💜💜💜 

Thanks, everyone! ❤️ I really appreciate the support! I actually plan to list each day's weight in a journal entry when I post my "official" average weight for the week. During the 7 months I was losing the 45 pounds to get to my goal weight a couple years ago, I only weighed in once a week. I wasn't aware at all of all the fluctuations. Never in my life did I weigh in daily until after I reached my goal. I'm about five above goal now and I really want to see "bule" again. But, I don't love posting daily... But I do love the accountability helping me! 😁 So, this is my plan to see if a new method to this madness will be more comfortable for me. 

Hahah! Blue! * 😊 

Oh Melissa, you’re already there, I think you just want to stay on track, not to ever gain again, no matter how you do it. 👍💕 I know I’m gaining, but that’s because I’m not exercising or doing well with my calories. I plan to be back on track when we get our own cars, for this carpooling is horrible. Absolutely, no time at all to think. I don’t have the freedom of getting lunch, so I pack anything and everything in my bag.😞🙃 Do what works for you! I know I need to keep track of my calories to be successful, that’s why I am gaining. I need to do a better job of it even if I go over. Enjoy your Stupendous Sunday!❤️ 

I think it's mostly a mind game thing. If one weighs every day and records that weight some other way, they are still aware of their daily weight. I think daily fluctuations are not as important for those of us who have a substantial amount to lose. FatSecret is actually set up to best serve those who want to lose higher amounts of poundage over a period of time. However, FS works well for people in maintenance and bodybuilders who are attempting stricter control over their weight too. My own weight may change by 2 or 3 pounds a day. Seven days of not being aware of my weight such as when I'm away from my home scale could and has contributed to some surprising results... 

Thank you, Shrewdness, for sharing and believing in me! I am absolutely committed to not gain again. Five up is my panic zone... I'm there, but right now I'm being careful while trying to live life. I know things will calm for you when your truck issue is resolved and life can be more "normal." 😁 ❤️ Petra, we shall see how it goes! I'm glad to hear I'm in good company with this "average" plan! 😁  

Thanks for your impute, John! 👣 I sure am trying to keep to my goals... Trying to follow you. 😊 I think it is totally useful for me to keep weighing daily. I need to see what is happening, and I am no longer confounded nor particularly distressed by fluctuations. I'm just kind of wanting to see how it goes finding that middle number and watching my progress from week to week. I'm also needed to be on FS less these days. I'm so crazy busy with working so much and family responsibilities... Somehow I think it will be better for me to just post an update on my progress weekly. I will see how it goes! 😁  

Sounds like a good plan Melissa, I'll be interested to know how it works for you. I know you've got this! 🍁
