I just cooked dinner and now I'm hungry again. My body weight can shift up and down by something close to eight pounds over the course of the day. It typically doesn't do so unless I'm angling to weigh myself at particularly extreme moments - first thing after waking up in the morning, immediately after eating a nice big dinner, moments after concluding a lengthy afternoon workout, etc.
Disclaimer: I am not the sveltest of individuals to begin with, so it's entirely possible that I've got that much more mass for water-weight gain and loss to work with. I think you're confusing "not suitable for measuring what you're ultimately trying to measure" with "highly unreliable. I don't think they do it would depend on the gym , though I've heard department stores sometimes curve their mirrors ever so slightly so you thinner in them. I wouldn't call mirrors the best method of weight assessment, even if they aren't curved.
Mirrors tell different people different things--I know too many girls who qualify as normal weight or less than normal but will look in the mirror, grab rolls of skin and think themselves horrifically fat.
And that's just scratching the surface of the mountains of insecuirities-in-the-mirror about faces or breasts or hair or whatever. Weight loss is probably best measured on a weekly basis, or as others said in pant sizes. A better measurement of health would be body-fat percentage--scales and BMI calculations don't distinguish between fat, muscle, and bone, so they're only good indicators if you've got a normal amount of the last two.

Just remember, there is more to your health than a number on a scale. That being said, you may not own or want to own your own scale: So do gyms have scales? Do gyms have scales? Almost all gyms offer scales for members in the locker room area. If you join up at a fitness studio, your experience may vary.
