    I fluctuate by as many as 3 pounds a day, based on first-thing-in-the-morning weights only, at a current bodyweight of around 120. I've had 5 pound fluctuations from one morning to the next in the past.

    Real weight? All of the readings are my real weight, and none of them. Meh. I'm only concerned about the overall direction.

    I downloaded Libra for android last week..... I weigh myself first thing in the morning, after Ive deposited items in the toilet... ;).... Monday is always my highest day/Friday my lightest...(weekend planning still WIP)......

    So - before this week -every Monday Ive beaten myself up (+3-5lbs from Friday) - gave up hope a little - had a minor case of the f-its......

    THIS WEEK HOWEVER.... put in my Monday weight (plus over Friday) - and lo&behold - Im still on a downward trend.... YAY - Black coffee for me today instead of my f-it drink (black coffee with milk AND sugar - I drink about 5-7 cups of instant coffee per day )

    LOVE Libra!

    Yes, you don't have one "real weight."

    5-7 pounds would make me suspect the scale. I weighed myself every day for about 16 months (while losing 55 lb) and the average daily variation was less than one pound. The maximum daily difference was 3.6 lb. Be sure your scale is on a solid floor (no carpet).

    Wish Happy Scale was available for Android.

    I found one called Libra that gives you a trend line and all that jazz.
