Remember, daily fluctuations of 2-4 pounds are pretty normal for humans so the next time you\u2019re celebrating a 4 pound loss overnight, or beating ourself up over a 2 pound gain, check yourself. \u2063<br \/>\u2063<br \/>You say you care about changing your strength, shape, or size but the scale definitely can\u2019t measure that.
