So what do you consider "normal" fluctuation in your weight? We all know that you don't stay at one number even when you are maintaining your weight. It seems like I've got about a 4 pound range, depending on what I've been eating; time of the month, and how well my system is processing.

When we travel I retain a LOT of water, which kind of sucks but I've learned to pack all my roomier clothes after a couple of trips where hardly anything fit after a few days.
