After weighing myself every day on a Withings scale for 3.5 years, I disagree with this recommendation. I recommend weighing oneself every day, just not necessarily immediately acting upon the measurement, because of the instability you mention. I step on the scale once a day upon waking. I review the trend in my graph about once a week to see if I need to adjust my diet. Having the recorded electronic measurement makes it possible to decouple the act of taking the measurement from the mental effort of thinking about what it means. I've found this very useful in managing my body fat.
