I weight myself every week after I wake up and before I eat or drink anything. I usually try to poop before it too, so the scale can show the most accurate numbr, but I can't poop first thing in the morning most of the time. How do you scale yourself?

I can't plan around something that's so unpredictable. I simply get out of bed, strip completely naked, and get on the scale.

I guess the right answer for me is....sometime between. Other than the one poster who said "during", all of us are technically sometime in between.

How is this a question? Obviously BOTH for science

Also it's good training for making portion estimates...

I usually wake up needing to poop lol, so usually after. My digestive track is just ready to go in the morning I guess.

I always weigh myself after , if you can't make sure you weigh yourself naked because I have found out that my pants and shirt weight almost 3 pounds. Also do it before you shower because your skin and hair soaks up water .

I wish I could poop first thing in the morning.

Your doctor's official weight for you includes your clothes, shoes and whatever is in your pockets. Consistency is what you are looking for. Do it the same way every time. I wear my slippers, a t-shirt, underpants and a pair of shorts. I don't subtract anything. That is how I started doing it, that is how I do it. I change the t-shirt everyday and I am sure that weight changes but in the long run two or three pounds it isn't important. Consistency is.
