Or am I the only one who weighs themselves multiple times a day?

I go up and down between 1 and 4 pounds. Just seems weird.

Eating or going to the bathroom doesn't seem to affect my weight they way I might expect either.

No clue! I only weigh myself in the morning.

I only weigh myself in the morning.
And only once a week. Give yourself a break!

I weighed myself twice in one day once, and I noticed the same thing - in the morning I was about 3lbs lighter. Weighed in again the next morning, got the appropriate weight and vowed to never weigh myself at night again :)

Yes, I fluctuate a lot between morning and night. I weigh myself every morning now and have cut out the evening weigh-ins.

I have no idea, because I only weigh myself in the morning. Naked. After peeing :).

I would say about that much, 1-4lbs.

But I rarely weigh myself more than once a day, usually once a week. Sometimes I will weigh myself at home and then a couple of hours later at the gym, just to see how "true" my home scale is.

I try not to weigh myself more than once a week. When I was younger, I had a nasty bout with a pretty severe eating disorder and I used to weigh myself constantly. Your weight can fluctuate quite a bit depending on time of day (anywhere within a 5lb range, I found). Now I weigh myself every Sunday, as soon as I wake up, right after I go to the bathroom. It helps to keep me from obsessing about my weight and doing things like "Oh, I gained 1lb since before breakfast, so now I won't eat lunch or dinner and will only drink 3 glasses of diet coke, and go to the gym and run 2 miles and then sit in the sauna and see what happens."

I should probably stick to the once a day thing at the same time.

I only weigh myself Saturday mornings when I get out of the shower. There is too much fluctuation in your body's weight to do it daily.
