What Causes Rapid Weight Fluctuations?
Hi, I am just wondering about my weight as it has been fluctuating rapidly. I don t noticed too much visually but can feel my weight changing, I stepped on the scales and weight 112lbs on Friday, and I thne weighed myself on Sunday and weight 105. I am now down to 102, so have lost 10lbs in just 4 days. No one has noticed this which I am not sure is normal for people to notice a 10lbs weight drop. I have been drinking and eating as I usually do.

most of the times dehydration causes such sudden loss of weight,if you are engaged in heavy work recently due to excessive sweat loss your body can loose weight, as one ml sweat equals to one gram,you didn't mentioned your bladder habits,excessive fluid loss through urine can also causes weight loss, are you on any medication of diuretics,you didn't mentioned your age and general health condition,so please consult your local health care center
