Hi! I am an 18 year old female who is slightly concerned about her weight... I am extremely active, I swim between 1 1/2- 2 hours a day 6 times a week and do hour long drylands 3 times a week. My weight fluctuates between 130-135 ibs. on average. I am wondering whether I should have an worry because it has been eating away at me. Thanks! -Concerned HS senior

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Though you have not written the duration between weights, it is perfectly normal to have that much of difference. Even same day, you may see fluctuation of 2.2 ibs. you must weigh yourself, same time everyday, in same condition. Another thing I would say that if you are living healthy life style, that is healthy diet, active life, avoiding smoking, alcohol, you should not worry about your weight.
Wish you healthy long life.
