Can someone please help me answer this question. I've been measuring my waist every morning for about 2 weeks now and I don't know why sometimes i have a 26 inch waist and then the next morning I have a 28. It goes back and forth. I always make sure that I measure in the same spot. Does anyone know why this happens? Could it be water retention?

Because at times your body is holding more water than others. If the tape measure isn't exactly straight, or is a tiny bit off where you had it yesterday, or you pull it slightly tighter the measurement can be different.

There's not really any point to measureing daily. Every 2 weeks at the most is better, because then you will see more substantial results.
