What time do you weigh yourself??

tenomyls

Throughout the day I my weight can vary from 2-10 lbs. Im wondering what time of the day should I weigh myself to get a correct weight?

I usually weigh first thing in the morning.

Its not about "Correct weight" per say. Just stay consistant so that you can see the trend over time. So I weigh myself first thing in the morning after I have gone to the washroom with no clothes on (as your clothes can change your weight depending on what you are wearing). If you check the same way over time, it is more accurate to see if you are losing weight.

First thing in the morning.

Dont weigh yourself multiple times in a day - - whatever time you weigh yourself, weigh yourself at the same time every day that you do your check-in. I used to so this and I vary a bunch throughout the day based on what food and drink I have throughout the day - - I believe that the morning is typically your lowest weight time.

in the morning after you go to the bathroom before you eat anything.. get naked and step on the scale.

I agree.

I weight first thing in the morning after "bathroom business" and I weigh naked. This will be the most accurate low weight of the day. Fluctuations due to eating and water intake/loss will not significantly affect weighing at this time.

Thursday mornings right before I step in the shower - before food/drink.

I was told to weigh first thing in the morning after emptying out your bladder. TMI? oops sorry.. :laugh:

I weigh myself every morning right after I get up. I don't really think it matters as long as it is the same time.

I don't have scales at home that are anywhere near accurate, so I weigh myself on the mornings I go to the gym. it works because my breakfast tends to be the same each time, and my gym clothes are pretty much interchangeable, and I always wear the same trainers. Yes, I could get a lower number on the scale if I wore less, or didn't eat beforehand, but I'm not stripping off in the gym, nor am I going without breakfast just for a lower number. It's more about the consistency of when you weigh, than the time.

I do it in the morning after utilizing the latrine (LOL). Also, I don't weigh myself when its "that time" or the few days before. You ladies know what I mean.

In the morning. Plus, like everyone says, as long as you're consistent. and always use the same scale.

I work 2 12's on the weekend- so my weigh in is Monday Morning.

delmore1

I weigh myself first thing in the morning before I've had anything to eat or drink and without any clothes on. Try to weigh yourself at the same time each time and you will get a more accurate number. Anything you eat or drink during the day will make a difference in what you weigh. Good luck!

chevy88grl

First thing in the morning - after you use the bathroom, but before you eat or drink anything is most accurate from what I've read.

slheflinVA

I always weigh myself first thing in the morning before I shower. I don't think it really matters what time is "best" as long as you're consistent.

killagb

In the morning after you hit the bathroom is a good time and also to make sure I'm getting a good read on my scale, I'll check it 2-3 times to be sure it's a consistent number. (mine's digital)

vdavis_89

First thing in the morning right after the gym buck naked lol

I totally agree...always works for me!

Consistency is key for tracking weight over any given period of time. One should weight themselves..

Upon waking after going to the bathroom (if the need is felt) the same day of each week.

Jjames1978

I agree first thing and stay consistent. I even go as far to line my scale up with the tiles in the bathroom so it sits in the exact spot every time, LOL:laugh:

janiecorona

I found I weigh more in the morning so I weigh myself in the afternoon. I guess it depends. Lol Not much help, sorry.

tenomyls

Thanks ALL!!! Very helpful info!

karenp84

I weigh myself first thing in the morning every sunday.

dixiechic60

I've read the most accurate weight it to weigh yourself first thing in the a.m. after emptying the bladder. This is the way I have always calucated my weight. Otherwise you are weighing food and fluid intake. :happy:
