I’ve found Google Spreadsheets to be a nice tool for weight tracking.  It’s free and you can access your data from any computer.  When I weigh myself in the morning I can wait until I get to work before entering the data.  Then on my days off I can access the same spreadsheet at home.  I keep track of the day, weight and BMI.  I’ll also add a 5 day trend line once I get a little more movement.  The only thing it seems to be missing is graphing capability but I can easily copy the data into Excel when I need that.

I have a vacation planned for October 17: 5 days in New Mexico.  That gives me a nice short term goal:  I want to get my BMI under 30 by the 17th, which means I need to get down to 245 pounds.  This morning I was at 253.8.  9 pounds in 13 days seems a little drastic but I’m not going to kill myself getting there.  If I’m vigilant about food and exercise I should at least make some progress towards that goal.
