Your weight can fluctuate on a daily basis as much as 8 lbs. It all has to do with how balanced your body is. How much you ate, you drank, your bms, if you had a shower before you weighed yourself etc. You weigh the least in the morning, after you pee, before you shower, eat or drink anything. I suggest you weigh yourself once a week at the same time of day, in the same place ie bathroom on the same tile all the time, wearing the least clothing possible (naked is ideal). You will notice fluctuations, but that is normal. IE: today I weighed 114 lbs. But last week I weighed 118 lbs. But that's normal. PMS also contributes to weight.
Weight loss becomes dangerous when you lose more than 10% of your total weight in a 4 week period (so my GI told me). When I lost over 40 lbs in 2 months, that was bad. But normal fluctuations of a couple lbs are just that, normal.
Hope this helps - and give up McD's food for good. I worked there for 4 years, gave it up after the second year. And I can honestly say I haven't set foot in the place in over 10 years.
