Proof the scale is a bad tool for measuring progress.

Agreed here the scale can fluctuate so much. Eating and drinking water really do add about 3 pounds for me. I have let it get to me in the past, but now I know exactly what is causing me to weigh more and that actually gaining 3 pounds of fat is pretty much impossible in such a short amount of time. I'm glad I've been tracking my measurements. I only get weighed when I go to the doctor, but overall I have lost 16 pounds....or 2 inches off my chest, 1 inch off my waist, 3 inches off my hips, and 4 inches off of my butt! If this trend continues I'll be hourglass shaped.
