What time do you weigh yourself?

firelight4321

Morning, noon, evening? Before or after eating?

I never really set a specific time to weigh myself... I feel like it's cheating if I weigh myself in the morning before I've eaten anything. I'm always at least 1/ 1/2lbs lighter after I wake up.

How about you?

What she said! First thing in the morning once a week or every two weeks.

Sometimes I weigh randomly throughout the week too, especially when I'm bloated or I can feel that I have water weight just to remind myself that the scale fluctuates and not to freak out if I suddenly weigh more.

Might be kind of strange, but it helps me cope if my weekly weigh-in is up- because usually it's just water retention. Also take your measurements two times a month- inches should be even more encouraging than pounds because that's what people see!

Every Monday morning, as soon as I get up, in my birthday suit ,after I've peed.

It's recommended that you weigh in the mornings, AFTER you use the bathroom and BEFORE you eat. If you do this consistently, this will give you the most accurate numbers (for using a scale)... I would also advise to take measurements periodically because the scale isn't always accurate anyway.

8am, Monday mornings, after I use the bathroom, before I eat or drink anything, same scale, no clothes. Even if this is skewed, being consistent means that all things are equal.

I am the same as everyone here. In the morning, after I use the bathroom, and in my birthday suit. For weight loss I am more concerned about having an accurate account of what I'm losing more than it being off a pound or two. Weighing at another time of the day will be more dependent on your day, and the variability will be much higher. So this is the most consistent. I don't see it as "I want to weigh myself when I'm the lightest", just that I want a good account for what I'm losing.

I also weigh myself everyday. I used to once a week, but the suspense was too much and if I didn't lose much over that week I felt very depressed. Doing it every day desensitizes me to it a bit, and I can track patterns. I write it on a calendar and also put down if I ate something like a big mac or ice cream to see how that affects my weight over the next few days. It's actually really interesting to watch your body react to things good and bad. I just wanted a good understanding of my body.

Every morning

I weigh in the mornings before eating and after going to the bathroom. Occasionally, I weigh in the afternoons due to curiosity. Scale fluctuations are fascinating to me. I never record the afternoon weights, though.

Wake up, "empty" yourself, get nekkid, and jump on the scale

I'm a creature of habit when it comes to weigh-ins, I blame W.W, LOL I weigh in every Wed morning right before I start getting ready for work. I try not to weight myself during the rest of the week or before Wed, that only tends to discourage me.

Tuesday mornings at 4:45 am

LOL...and how is the weight of food or beverage or waste in your system relevant to your body weight and fat? Silly....do you even understand how any of this works? Do you understand that you didn't gain 1.5 Lbs of fat because you ate something...that food and beverage and waste have mass and thus weight?

This is why I think anyone weighs in the morning, - it is the lightest you will be all day probably, but it's a consistent time of day and you are likely not holding a lot of water weight at that time of day (part of the days fluctuations is definitely in water)

Every Sunday morning, before I eat, after I use the bathroom and shower with no clothes, same place and generally the same time give or take a half hour or so. That way it is the most consistent.
