11/30: 136.5
12/1: 139.5- woah! 3 lbs.? How did that happen?
12/2: 139.5- ok, same as yesterday. Didn't go down, but at least it didn't go up
12/3: 137.5- Yay! Almost back to where I was a few days ago
12/4: 136.5- Awesome! Now its time to start losing again. Goal for tomorrow: 135! Except the gym is closed today. I'll have to think of something else to do.
12/5: 137.5- Hmmm, not so good. Must have been from not going to the gym yesterday.
p.s. Maverick, how are you losing weight so quickly? I want to be like you.

Sandy: Sorry I can't answer you in PM yet (haven't been a member long enough yet or something) but I'm not doing anything particularly weird to lose weight. (For general info: Sandy asked me how come I was getting such good results on my day-to-day weigh-ins.)
Here's a couple of my rules, though...
- I drink almost entirely water. I'll throw in a glass of wine or sweet iced tea maybe once a day, but the rest of the time I'm drinking ice water constantly. I drink a full glass before every meal and before every trip to the gym. And even when I'm drinking something else, I still have a glass of ice water beside me. I probably average about 56 fluid oz. a day. Not quite 8 glasses, but it's close.
- I go to the gym at *least* six times a week now, and I try to go seven. I weight-train every other day (which is starting to effect my weigh-ins, as you can see) and I do at least a half hour of intensive cardio, usually on a treadmill or Nautilus.
- I eat at least five times a day, and make sure (most of the time) what I eat is fairly healthy. Lots of protein bars, salads, and Special K. But I make sure to get lots of lean protein, too.
That's about it. *shrug* I'm pretty convinced that exercise is the biggest contributor.

Hi
weighing yourself everyday maybe a mistake and can be very deceptive regarding your results.Not to mention that if you don't see what you want to see,it could kill your motivation.Don't forget that if you are exercising,you may be losing some fat but gaining some muscle at the same time.This won't reflect any true changes on the scales.
On top of that if you are a little dehydrated it is going to effect what the scales will show.You may have dropped a pound or two but soon as you are hydrated the weight will be back.
There are better ways of measuring results than using scales.Taking measurements with a tape measure every 3 or 4 weeks will give a better picture.Another great method is your clothes.Just see if they are getting looser or tighter.By all means use the scales but using them once a month will give you a truer picture than using them everyday.Also go by the way that you are feeling.If you are feelng more alert and more energtic,then you are bviously doing something right.

Paul: Yeah, most people here know about weight fluctuation, but they still weigh themselves every day as a way to have accountability. Also, even though the weight on the scale fluctuates, you still get to see a downward trend. Lots of people here (like me) do measurements, too. 
As long as you recognize that water weight/weight training/bowel movements/premenstrual syndromes/etc... are going to affect your readout, daily weigh-ins aren't gonna kill you.

No-one is asking you to weigh yourself every day. Please feel free not to.
Most people measure themselves too.
Some of us have medical issues and have been known to put on an enormous amount of weight in a week. If you had ever experienced that - you might want to keep an eye on things too.
I hope that you are always fully consistent with the tightness of the tape measure. Some people experience problems with that. But - maybe you already knew that - just like we already knew the issues that you kindly raised.
