    I always weight first thing in the morning before I've done anything else. If I weighed after my workout, I'd be a few pounds up because I drink a ton of water throughout, lol.

    Same here

    It's probably accurate. The question is whether it's meaningful.

    Exactly. :)

    If it's a sweaty cardio workout, like when I get on the bike and ride hard, for an hour, naturally I am going to weigh more afterwards. That's common sense. One needs to realize that water weight loss is not at all meaningful, at least in the context of weight-loss. Weighing once a day, in the morning, IS a meaningful method of weighing.
