I don't really care what the numbers are, and when I had an analog scale I used to purposefully keep it from being zeroed correctly. I track my weight almost every day, and use it as an early warning system that I am getting sick. If my weight starts to drop quickly over a 2 or 3 day span, then I know that I am getting sick and need to back off in my training. Generally speaking, my weight stays within a 5 pound range, which gradually shifts up and down as I train for and recover from some of my races.
