Do most of you weigh yourself at night or the morning? I am such a nerd I do both as I generally am 2 pounds heavier at night so it gives me a good idea what Ill be in the morning. I always use my morning weights though for recording my weight.

    Morning, because there's less in my system to account for

    I weigh in the afternoon. That's when I am the lightest.

    I will never weight at night after a full day of eating and drinking.

    Mu issue is, I eat late in the evening. And I rarely have B.M, maybe 1-2 times a week...tops. ( i know...tmi...sorry) So I am not the lightest in the morning:( Many times I'm the heaviest right as I wake up.

    Thats interesting when you said lightest in afternoon I figured it was due to working night shifts or some version of fasting. I would think even if you dont have B.M. that after sleeping you would be lightest. Guess not always.

    Yeah...I don't know. But I go to bed late and my husband and I watch tv, and snack late at night so I am full of food, drinks, by the time I go to bed and I don't go up and pee either. Then I don't eat much during the day, some coffee, maybe a very light breakfast, if any. I tend to eat most of my food beginning at 5 pm until midnight.

    1-2 times a week sounds awful. I could not tolerate that very well.

    I might mess around with food timing and perhaps look into my diet as well unless this is medical related.
    Just weigh when it suits you better.

    Most people do seem to prefer the morning.

    But I personally do weigh in the evening - once a week on Sunday evening. Just convenient for me that way

    i am not interested in when I am lightest, as I realise my weight fluctuates slightly throughout the day.

    The thing is to do it consistentlty - ie aprox same time of day, same scales, similar clothing or not clothing
