Your friend doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter when you do it as long as you stick to the same day/time/place.
I weigh-in and measure every Saturday morning when I wake up around 9am right after I pee and in the exact same spot in my bathroom. I'm conveniently still naked so it's quick and easy. I log everything in an excel file so that I can transcribe it here later and I post my results on FB seeing as my friends like reading about it.
If Monday is your preferred day, stick to it!0 -
I weight in almost everyday because I want to be able to cope with the daily weight fluctuations. You know, try to understand and accept them.
But my weight-in day is Sunday morning. I find that weight in to be `the one` (like the consistent one), taking into account the other days and my lifestyle.0 -
I weigh every day so I don't lose focus of where I am. However, I then go back and only keep the weekly weigh-ins so I'm not influenced in a negative way the daily fluctuations that occur. I determine my true progress on a weekly basis. I weigh on Sundays [no particular reason].0

Every day is weigh in day but my official day is Sunday. Just because it's the start of the week.0

I don’t think it matters as far as your weight loss is concerned. My weigh-in day is Friday mornings because of no other reason than I wanted it to be Fridays. Consistency (same day, time, place, and scale) is the most important factor for accurate readings.0

Varies.
Probably TMI: when I was heavier, not logging, eating whatever I wanted, I had a very specific bathroom "schedule"- as in daily, and at the same time... Now?? Like only 2x/week or so, so I use that as a guide of when to weigh.0 -

This! Just make sure you're consistent with when you weigh yourself. I do it every morning (only because I am trying to figure out my maintenance) in underwear after I go to the bathroom.0 -
My weigh in day is Fridays. Although I weigh myself everyday just because I can't help myself. I don't like weighing in on Mondays because I tend to eat my worst over the weekend and my weight goes up because of salt intake. But I weigh first thing in the morning, after I pee and butt naked...same scale same spot in the bathroom.0

I weigh daily but record only when a new low has been met.0
-
I weigh nearly each day, same time (morning after peeing). I log only when there's a new low weight. I don't necessarily log losses below 0.4 pounds.0
-
Usually Saturday morning, or I put it off until Monday morning which gives me a reason to 'stay the course' over the weekend.0
-
I'm questioning the day, because Monday are demotivating after seeing my good progress Mon-Friday with daily unofficial scale checks and then weekends ruin it. I like the thought of banking it on Friday or Saturday morning and using that as motivation over the next 48 hours.0

I weigh myself all the time, but my official weigh in day is Wednesday. I started over-again- on January 1st and it was a Wednesday.
I also joined a group on here and their weigh in day was Saturday (has changed somewhat since I joined) but, I continue to record my weight on Saturday for that group. I like having 2 weigh ins/week because it keeps me more accountable.0 -
Thursday- gives me time to recover from any weekend fun I had previously, and I use it as a guideline for how much fun to have the following weekend.0
-
I weigh in on Mondays because it helps me to stay healthier on weekends, when I can easily blow all my hard work.....0
-
I weigh every day. I do not have a "scale weight" goal (I'm more interested in fat loss, looking good, and feeling good than the number on the scale) but I find the scale to be a useful tool.0
-
Every day.
I like data.0 -
Wednesdays because I started on a Wednesday - if you tend to go off track a bit on the weekend Wednesday is a good day - it gives you a couple days to "recover" from the weekend (ie: sodium would be my culprit) - if you don't go off track on the weekends then it shouldn't really matter.0
