What the other posters are trying to say is that minor fluxuations of a couple pounds a day in water retention are normal and are really nothing to worry about. If you have a healthy diet and your weight is basically consistent you should be fine.

It should also be noted that the amount of waste stored in your bowels can fluxuate, too. Right before you have a bowel movement, you're probably going to feel a bit bloated, as most people do. The best way to keep that in check is to get plenty of fiber and include yogurt with active cultures in your diet.
