[quote=Anonymous]Daily, and track weight in an app or on a spread sheet that will show the overall trendline. As you noted, weigh fluctuates all the time. This is normal and not really fat gain or loss, just differences in water retention. Once you get used to weighing daily and seeing the overall trend you stop being so concerned with the fluctuations. This is also why more data points is better. If you only weigh once a week the real trend can be masked by a fluctuation. You should also not change anything based on a single days measurements but rather the overall trend. If after a MONTH the trend line is not going down then evaluate what you are doing, but don't change anything until you have given it a solid go. When you track the trend you will see that even when losing fat the scale number will not go down every day. it will go down, go up a little, go down, spike up, go down,....and so on. But the overall trend should point down. [/quote]
