I have found that my weight flactuates throughout the day. the number is different first thing in the morning, after a bowel movement and a bath and after a meal.

What is the best time to stand on the scale on weigh-in day?

    Under similar conditions.

    So I jump out of bed first thing on a Monday morning, have a pee and weigh myself naked. As long as I do the same thing every time it's a like for like comparison and I can track a trend (whether I'm trying to lose or gain).

    The trend over time is the thing rather than a single accurate weight measurement (which probably doesn't exist due to fluid variation, etc).
