Good effort there!
My wife agrees with the daily weigh in being a bad idea and that any daily gain you might see might psychologically put you on a bit of a downer. But for me it's just part of the daily routine. Get up, have a pee, clean my teeth, jump on the scales...and then when I get to work, log it on my spreadsheet.
I'm not really bothered that much by a daily gain. I know it's all about the bigger trend and I'm looking forward to seeing mine start to go downwards now.
