Pretty darn close.

"The scale fluctuates wildly but on the low days, I seem to have lost 1.5 per week but on the higher, not more than 0.6."

I kind of chart my weight like a stock picker, i.e. past highs vs. current highs and past lows vs. current lows. It seems pretty accurate.

I have an odd suggestion I use to reduce the swings, drink more water. Doesn't make sense at first but if your body would like to get rid of something that makes you retain water, the worse thing you can do is dehydrate yourself. Just flush it all out.
