When do you weigh yourself?

I weigh myself every morning after I get up and use the restroom. Today, I did that and then weighed myself after I had dinner. It was like a 4 pound difference! It freaked me out.

On Wednesday morning just after I get up and go to the bathroom. Why not Monday - I eat Sunday lunch at my mother in laws and she cooks with lots of salt. Monday's weight is always up.0

Exact same as you :-)
Once I weigh, I try not to do it again - although it is tempting - because the scale fluctuates. It's best to only weigh once a week at the same time for that reason as well. Good luck to you!0 -
Morning, I wait about 1/2 hour after I get up and in the buff.0
-
only about every time i walk through my bathroom; but i don't count it until a specific day of the week in the morning0

Once a week on Tuesdays so that's tomorrow. More often than that and I would drive myself crazy.0
-
I weigh every Friday morning at the same time.0

I jump on the scale Thursday mornings before breakfast and showering. I do weigh myself other times throughout the week but I only log the number from Thursday mornings. I have weighed myself before and after going number 2, it's kind of funny to see that 2 pound weight loss from time to time. :laugh:0

Lol me too. Clothes weigh a lot!Morning, I wait about 1/2 hour after I get up and in the buff.0

I"m a nurse at a local hospital and we tell our patients to weight themselves first thing in the morning once you get out of bed, after you urinate, naked!0

nothing to do with topic but love your pic Joslin20050

I weigh first thing in the a.m. and TRY to do it only on Friday mornings (which is when I "count" my weight!) Otherwise I'm guilty of doing it randomly ALL the time during the day, just because I think the fluctuations are crazy!!0

I'm the same way. I know they say that you should only weigh once a week but I can't help myself!0 -
I'm going to be weighing myself on Sunday mornings after I've gone to the bathroom and haven't had breakfast. People I know say that not wearing clothes is better.0

Thought I was the only one that did that? Lol. I have been very bad in the past by weighing every morning, after I eat breakfast, after a workout, and on and on. I have learned that if you follow your workout plan and log your food, the pounds will come off. Most people recommend you weigh 1x a week just to track your progress. Weighing too often can discourage you. I weigh each day only to make sure I am staying on track. If i pick up a pound or 2, it does not freak me out because I know it will come off soon. I am more scared to not weigh for a week and realize I have picked up 5lbs.0 -
Every morning after I use the bathroom and when I'm still naked. I weigh every day but only record when there is a loss.0
-
I guess I better buy a scale if I ever want my ticker to move.
when I had a scale it'd be the same as posted here: in the morning- after bathroom necesities and before breakfast..
though if I am going to tel peple I weigh X amount, I should really wigh myself in the middle of the day- when people see me.0 -
A billion times a day. I don't obsess over it or get depressed when I gain a few ounces after a lot of water/a meal. I just like to see how I fluctuate throughout the day. I only record when there's a loss.
ETA: Recording a loss ONLY if it's in the beginning of the day after I go to the bathroom. I also like to wait a few days between check ins, just in case the lower number is just a fluke.0 -
Monday morning, norm right when I get up, then about 20-30 mins later. The scale reads the same both times then it is what it is.0
-
STOP weighing yourself every day. If you cannot throw your scale out the window. Weigh once per week maximum in the mornings.0

That's what I do. :flowerforyou:0 -
I weigh myself whenever I look in the mirror and feel like I look smaller than I did the last time I weighed myself. I haven't weighed myself in over a month now.:ohwell:0

In the am on thurs mornings officially......but I'm at a point where I can weigh myself anytime of day everyday and not care what it reads since I stay the same size consistantly (according to my clothing) regardless of the number I see.
It is fun to weigh yourself though before and after a pee or poop though......lol0 -
You should weigh yourself 6 or 7 times a day, and do a weighted average (no pun intended) based on the lunar cycle (when the moon is full, its gravitational pull is more pronounced, so you weigh slightly more). Then record this every week and average it out - that's what you should put down.
Sound crazy? It is. Just weigh yourself once a week, in the morning (empty bladder) and call it done.0 -
I weight myself in the morning at roughly the same time. I record all of my daily weights and divide it by 7 to get an average weekly weight and that's what I track and base my goals upon. I think that going by a once a week weigh in is not accurate enough with how much you change your weight in seven days.0

I was like.....lunar cycle REALLY?You should weigh yourself 6 or 7 times a day, and do a weighted average (no pun intended) based on the lunar cycle (when the moon is full, its gravitational pull is more pronounced, so you weigh slightly more).
