I think it is important to weight a lot so you get a sense of your body and how it works. So you get a sense of what happens before TOM, what happens when you are drinking all day. Etc. Once you get to know your body well, any fluctuations will not bother you because you will be able to connect what exactly they are. And see what is really happening.
Yes, you have some good points. I have weighed in the morning then later in the day to see how much intake and such causes fluctuations. I don't weight twice daily ever day, but I have before just so I'd know. And it did make me feel at ease to really know how it works, or more so.
I have noticed the increase after I've eaten, drank, and before TOM, at TOM, and a few days after. I also notice at times if I have eaten something with salt, and so on. Amazing what little things like all of those can cause. For instance, in the mornings I weigh, then if I wait and weigh after I have drank a pint of water and a couple of meals, I will weigh 2-3 pounds heavier, but it goes down again the next morning. So I eventually learned how inaccurate mid day weighing can really be.
