This is well-intentioned but has an inherent problem: any single weighing could be skewed to either end of the scale.<p>Instead, I weigh myself almost every day and record it, but I don&#x27;t attach <i>meaning</i> to any given weighing; I look for a moving average.<p>I also use a Tanita bodyfat-estimating scale, which helps distinguish day-to-day variations due to hydration level (e.g. a lower bodyfat estimate combined with an upward tick in weight just means you are more hydrated).
