How to do you weigh yourself?

    I was once told by a dietician that our weight is most accurate first thing in the morning after peeing. So that is when I weigh myself, after going to the washroom and stripping down to nothing (I found clothes can weight from a half pound to a full pound so I strip!).

    I've weighed myself later in the day our of curiosity and it was always up from the morning weight. Our weight naturally fluctuates during the day so I was told it is impossible to get an accurate weight during the day.

    I try to do it only once a week but will admit I do it almost every day. LOL

    First thing in the morning, naked after using the toilet. I use a fitbit aria scale so it automatically uploads to MFP

    I weigh myself every morning after I go potty and every night before bed. The night time weight is usually 1-2 pounds heavier than the morning weight. I record the morning weight only if it holds true for at least 2 days. My weight normally fluctuates so I like to keep a two day buffer of weight loss before I record it or I will get discouraged the next day when it's back up.

    I wake up, go pee, take off my pjs & weigh myself. If it is down, I record it. I don't care if it down just for 30 seconds. I saw it and own it :)

    Same here. I also weigh myself during the day mostly out of curiosity. Amazing I went from 173 to 177 to 173 throughout the day yesterday.

    I weigh myself every day though. I do this for a few reasons.

    1. I can see if I am still in caloric deficit (if my weight starts going up and up then I know I am eating too much)
    2. I can make sure I am not losing too much weight too fast.
    3. Motivation!!!!!!!!!!! Not only to stay the course but to make my weight loss goals.

    Ummm....I'm not a scientist or anything but I highly doubt your calories are turning to fat that fast! I believe the numbers go up due to water retention.
    You also wouldn't lose pounds that fast....except possibly from water weight.
    Your weight will naturally go up during the day....I hope you aren't cutting back on calories because of this!
    Weigh in the morning and go by that number. Feel free to weigh throughout the day but don't base what you eat on those numbers!

    Once per week, naked first thing in the morning after I pee. I record it whether it is up or down. Because I am pretty OCD about logging I have a really good feel whether an up is water weight or if I really ate a surplus to put on fat.

    Get naked, smack my butt to see if it still feels jiggly, tap the on button with my big toe and wait for the screen to switch from
    to 0.0lb , step up, look to the heavens silently whispering "please please please", look down, shake my head either up and down or left to right, step off, get dressed, go running.

    I try to weigh everyday. If I skip a day at all, its on the weekend. I record if I'm down, but I usually only pay attention to Monday mornings weight to get a better idea of how much I've lost. I have a scale at work, and weight with my clothes on (same type of clothing almost everyday) and after I pee. Nothing in my pockets, shoes off (because those suckers are heavy), between 7:30 and 8:00 am. Before I eat breakfast. It is pretty acurate. I also check my scale against my doctor's scale to see how far off they are (usually about 3 pounds).

    Friday morning, wake up, pee, strip down, weigh
    This is the only weight for the week I record

    However I will weight myself Monday after the gym and Wednesday after the gym just for curiosity

    I'm going to start using this method...

    I weigh a couple times a week, naked or in my underwear, in the morning and post-peeing.
