Weighing Yourself

stemen2011

At what time of day do you weight yourself? If you weigh yourself during the day, do you subtract for water weight? Do you weigh yourself with clothes?

Just Curious.

I weigh first thing in the AM, no clothes on....

I weigh myself first thing in the morning when I get up, without clothes. Hope this helps?

I weigh myself undressed right before I shower in the morning. That way I stay consistent (& b/c I weigh less in the morning than I do at night).

Same here... straight out of bed, before I eat or drink anything

Once a week, in the morning, no clothes, same scale every week.

I also weight first thing in the morning before I eat or drink anything and AFTER I go to the bathroom. TMI?? lol. I also do it naked. Seems like a lot but you would be really surprised how much your clothes can weigh! I find that this gives me the most consistent number (although it's not the number I want to see yet). Food intake and digestion time and fluid intake all can have a multiple pound effect so I like weighing when I know it's been many hours since I ate and before I put anything in my body.

ps, I hate that I can "gain" 2 pounds in a day ( water) and then weigh in the next day and be 3 pounds less. It makes me crazy!

I weigh myself usually an hour after I wake up, before I eat or drink.

It's considered best to weight after you get out of bed in the morning and go to the bathroom. That's the only time of day your stomach is free of food and you get a true reading. It's also probably best to only weigh once a week although many people think daily is best. Still other people think monthly. I personally think weekly is probably best although I've been known to sneak on the scales daily from time to time.

I weigh myself almost every morning... every other realistically... but I only put it in MFP on Mondays.

... undies and bra....yup that's it. sometimes a tank top and usually 15min after I wake up before I eat. I found that when I did it right when I work up it was not accurate because my body was not awake. So I usually go to the bathroom check out MFP and then off to the scale I go!

Naked, in the early morning after all my, umm, business is taken care of. And I mean, I really really try to get it all out before stepping on the
scale LOL.

I weight myself in the morning after I used the restroom, with my pj's on. My scale is in the kitchen because when I keeped it private I would loose moditation. Now that my family can see the weight-in I can't hide any cheating.

I weigh myself first thing, before I allow myself to eat or drink anything... right after I go to the bathroom!

Best time to weigh yourself is in the morning. If you choose to weigh yourself during the day you are dealing with the fluctuations of what you have eaten prior to weighing yourself and to the amount of water you drank. To get close to accurate results weigh yourself in the morning.

I weigh in the morning after my shower. Seems to be the best time for me. I weigh in on Sat mornings @10. I do weight watchers.

That is really an awesome idea!

I weigh in the morning minus my clothes

I weigh every morning, after I get up for the day, I use the bathroom, get undressed then weigh. I only "weigh-in" on here once a week though, even though I do weigh daily, I just monitor that on my computer!

First thing in the morning, before I step into the shower.

My weigh in for mfp is sunday mornings. I also weigh about everything other day - at the very least sundays and wednesdays. The only number I truly worry about is Sunday but I like to see how I'm doing half way through the week to make sure I'm still on track for my goals. Otherwise, for me personally, I will lose sight of them. NOT this time. 4 pounds down and i'm ready for more!
