is your sodium intake varied from day to day?  Or caffeine intake?  Something you are eating make be making you retain (or drop) water.  Weighing yourself first thing in the morning is the best way to try and keep a consistent track of your weight.

Thats what I do naked every morning as soon as I get up, I piss, then strip and get on the scale.  You'd be amazed what you lose overnight.

But I would agree with Jenn, something in your diet is fluctuating.
