TrendWeight
From the link above:
"What Is TrendWeight, Exactly?
When you really want to track your weight loss, you probably know you should disregard day to day changes in weight and instead focus on the trend over time. To do this, TrendWeight uses the methodology described by John Walker in his online book, The Hacker's Diet.
The idea is pretty simple. You weigh yourself each day on either a FitBit Aria Scale or a Withings WiFi Scale, and TrendWeight will plot a moving average from your daily weight alongside your daily scale weight. This gives you a better idea of your weight trend by masking most of the day to day noise that variances in water weight introduce. Your dashboard will also calculate some statistics that will help you fine tune how much you are eating so that you hit your desired rate of weight loss."

Yeah, Fitbit works pretty cool together with MFP. I use it all the time, even while sleeping to track my awakenings. So far, so good!0
