    I weigh in on sunday morning completely empty, if I did a hardworkout the day and im sore, then I will skip my weigh in till a few more days. When you are sore your muscles hold on to water. So that could be the cause of the scale going up, but dont confuse that with anykind of fatgain!

    I know my body is holding on to water for recovery and things of that nature so is it best to have my weigh in like the morning after rest day where I have my rest day to kind of flush the excess water weight? I have about 80lbs to lose so I know that it will come off it's just alarming to jump on the scale after you've nailed your fitness and nutrition for 7 days in a row and see it went UP 3lbs!
    Yes if you're working out, that is the best time to weigh in. Day after a rest day if you're working out. After you go to the bathroom.

    As a woman, you have to consider period bloating. I only weigh myself once a month and that is at the end of the week after my period. That is normally the time I am least bloated. The week before, during, and the first part of that immediate following week are times were you can still be retaining water.
