    I try to weigh in on the wii fit every morning after waking up and after the toilet. If I miss a day, I don't really care since I officially record on Thursday mornings.

    Fluctuations don't bother me so much, since the WiiFit keeps a little chart with all the dots of the weigh ins. If I go up a pound or two, I just zoom out the chart by a week, or a month or a year and you can see the overall picture. All those little dots are forming a cluster of data points that is headed in the general "down" direction. You can look at it like a scatter chart and imagine a trend line along the center of the sample data points and get a better general idea of the actual weight loss. If there's anything that I've learned from being a bio major, generally the more samples that you have, the better chance that you can avoid skewed data due to outliers from random super heavy or super light days.

    OMG My nerd is showing, sorry... I'll stop now lol.
