I do the same. Have been for a month. The fluctuation, when weighing-in at the same time every day seems to be minimal. The worst I've had is two kilos (which is pretty bad if you're only trying to lose a few, I suppose), but it seems that now that I have a schedule (similar to Neil's) and a month of data to look back on, a pattern has emerged.
Another thing I've been doing is counting calories, recording them, and then playing them against an estimated BMR and extra calorie-using activities I may do on top of that BMR. I calculate this into a total weight exhausted based on a sum of my caloric calculations (over the entire time I've been recording these details) vs a simple recorded weight loss (over the same time). As of today, it's 2 pounds off (I've recorded more "actual" loss [11] than calculated [9]), but it's pretty close over all (and some days, it's almost dead on). If nothing else, this really helps demonstrate that weight loss is a, more or less, predictable and controllable phenomenon.
