I don't agree with weighing yourself every day. Your weight can flucuate from day to day depending on how much food/water you've consumed and whether or not you've recently gone to the washroom. Most people lose 2-5 lbs after their bodies dispose of fecal matter, as disgusting as that may sound. By weighing yourself every day, you're just going to frustrate yourself. I advise you pick one day to weigh yourself each week. I like to weigh myself on Sundays, because it prevents me from pigging out on Saturdays, which is always my worst day (friends always want to go to restaurants on Saturday nights, etc.)

Also... while water doesn't directly help you lose weight, it does help to fill you up so you don't eat as much during meals. People often mistake dehydration for being hungry, so just by constantly drinking water throughout the day you are preventing this from happening, which means you can avoid excess snacking.
