But (if you can be relaxed about it) this is why daily measurement is good - you can more easily see the fluctuations and tell if there's a trend or not.
If you weigh yourself every day for a fortnight, and in the first three days you're 12 stone 0 +/-1 lb, and for the last three you're 11st 12 +/-1 lb, you can tell using daily weighing. But with just three weekly measurements, you can tell nothing. You could get any results between no change at all, or a loss of 4lb.
So I prefer to weigh myself every day (or nearly so).

Makes sense (at least after I converted all your measurements to kilogram
) ! Now that I'm back on a diet, I might try the daily weighing. I just have to make sure I don't become obsessed with my weight
I remember gaining some weight when I started dieting a couple of years ago, and although my dietitian had warned me about this I was completely devastated. So I just hope gaining weight one day and then losing it the next won't affect my mood too much.
