I also am a small person but my weight can vary a couple of pounds or even more in the course of a day. I can easily weigh 108 in the morning and 110 in the afternoon. After all, we eat, drink, sweat and pee and our weight will change with the changes in water. I just figure it is statistical noise. If I weigh myself at the same time in the early a.m. under the same conditions, like I do for the weight challenge, I should have less variability but I do have variability there as well. When I was actively losing weight some weeks would stall and others move quickly, not necessarily correlating to how much I ate, which was fairly consistent. However, exercise was harder to measure and may have accounted for the differences. Now that I am maintaining my weight I seem to still have variability, ranging usually within three pounds up or down. I have no idea if it is gains or losses or just noise.
