when to step on the scale?

What time/how often do you get on the scale? I've noticed that I can change 6+lbs in the course of a few hours.

I step on it once a day, upon waking. I have experimented and weighed myself throughout the day, and yeah, it can fluctuate greatly.

I agree, I always way myself first thing in the morning and treat this as the main weigh in for the day. However, I love seeing how my weight fluctuates throughout the day. I may weigh myself too much!!

Once a day. Early morning, just after I get up.

I step on the scale right after I visit the bathroom in the morning. (Might as well lose those few extra ounces before weighing).

I weigh myself once a week in the morning after using the bathroom and before eating/drinking anything. Weighing myself everyday did nothing but drive me nuts since its not linear throughout the week.

Here is what you do:

Wake up
Pee/poop
Get naked
Weigh yourself.
Do not weigh the rest of the day.

Rinse and repeat as many days of the week you like

I weigh after the morning poop, and then sometimes before bed. The before bed one gives me an idea of what my weight will be in the morning

Never. The scale is not a good way to judge success.
