It's definitely a weird experience seeing the scale go down and down for months at a time, as you will eventually find.
I'm a couple days a week weigher. I try to do once a week, but I sneak peak half way through.
Now, I always way myself at the sametime, but for the most part my weight hasn't really fluctuated either. If it has, I know why...poor choices, but honestly that's only been a handful of times at most.
I seem to stay at a weight too and then lose. I don't know if that will last forever but I'm just focusing on the number dropping every week lol

I am as well... I had my first +0.3lbs on Thursday then was back down the same Friday morning. I do have a Fitbit scale so it did show a drop in my bodyfat%. I also, TMI coming, have not had a BM in a few days so I also blame that. Fingers crossed for Saturday morning.

I hope it stays this way forever for you too, Barb!!!
I'm an everyday weigher too... but alas, I fluctuate. I have always been one to hold a lot of water in my body, and who knows if that's the reason. I see myself go up as much as 3/4 lbs in a day. I vowed pre-surgery not to stress about it, and so far I haven't.
I still weigh daily and try to find patterns in food, sal****er, hormones, etc. I can't find too many consistent patterns, but my overall weight continues to drop, and I'm not stressed by the fluctuations, so I'm good to continue for now. :)
