    You have to look at the long-term trends.

    Weight fluctuates ...you need long term trends

    There are apps like libra, sites like trendweight.com (for fitbit/withings users)

    When the trend continues downward you'll know. An added bonus is when clothes get looser.

    If the scale is a pound less than last week, you lost a pound.

    Not true. Weight loss is not linear. You can gain a pound one week and lose three pounds the next. You know this, TimothyFish.

    Weight fluctuations are weight loss/gain. They make it harder to measure fat loss but they most certainly are changes in weight.
