Hey Clay,
John K is right. Weight fluctuates throughout the day.
Your "walking around" weight is much more than your weight right after you wake up.
Ask anyone who ever wrestled. I could easily weigh 5 lbs less when I hit the scales if I was in a dry/fasted state.
Also, certain foods are more dense and take longer to clear your system, which can appear as gain when you hit the scales.
My tactic during wrestling season to get the most accurate scale reading, was to take Metamucil before meals, and ONLY weigh myself FIRST thing in the morning BEFORE drinking/eating and AFTER a good poop. It never failed me.
Weigh in times and factors have to be consistent. I'm sure you're on the right track. Keep up the good work.
