Yep I believe you do!

For Example:
Last night I weighed myself and it said - 160.4lbs
Then, this morning I weighed myself and it said 158.4lbs!

I weigh myself randomly and it always fluctuates around 3-4 pounds here and there. I agree that the best time to have an official weigh in is once a week in the morning.

The rule is take your body weight and multiply by 0.035 (3.5%). That's how much your weight CAN swing up or down from your nominal point.

You really should think of your weight as more of a range...

I have realized I am a true data junkie I am keeping a very detailed notebook on my weightloss so that anytime I want to give up I can remember how far I have come and much I hated who I was before I started .. anyway I weigh every morning and right it in my calendar that I also intend to keep in my "fat" box !! I then weight every night before my shower and its CRAZY how much weight I will gain I normally am 3-5lbs higher and I do not write that down but I like to just watch my weight its interesting to me because on occasion I have weighed the same or less at night its crazy how much we fluctuate ... I also thought I gained before my time of the month but I tracked it each day this month and I didn't so I was pretty happy !!

Good luck

Here's some honesty: you seem to gauge your success on the scale only. If that's the case, then don't weigh daily because fluctuations happen.

If you track food on MFP, and I assume you do ... add up that, then add 2 x 4 cups of water = 1kg (2kg per day of water alone if you get the recommended intake).

Digestive, endocrinal systems, etc. will eventually convert that to muscle, nutrients and energy, etc. The body repairs itself all along the way and overnight we lose dead skin cells (skin being the biggest organ in our body!), perspire, and the little trips to the toilet also.

So yeah, once a day, same time of day (eg after rising).

Some scales will even give different readings when you get off and back on again.

I go to my GP once per month (every 4 weeks in fact) and it's that weight I note, I will be wearing different clothing each time which makes a difference, but I go same day of the week, same time of day.

I'll 'check in' at the scales most days, but disregard the negative and celebrate the positive (a little yeehaa and punch into the air now and then).

So, for the honesty bit - it WILL change through-out the day.
