    Why would too much sodium make you gain weight?

    I started weighing myself once a week in the afternoon (after work) but didn't think this was right. What does everyone else do?

    The best time to weigh your self is first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything. If you weight than the food or drink you have consumed will make your weight a little more than you really are. Best of luck!

    Do it once every week (or once every two weeks if you have less than 15lbs to lose), in the morning just as soon as you wake up but after you do to the toilet. Also, make sure you've had adequate sleep - sometimes I find I feel and look incredibly sluggish if I've had less than 5-6 hours of sleep.

    Using a measuring tape, I measure my bust/waist/hips every Friday morning after I wake up.

    Every morning first thing. I curse when I see my weight go up, but don't sweat it since I have really seen it fluctuate wildly. I just watch the trend of it going down overall.

    Whenever I go to the mall :D >.> My weight scale broke and I haven't bought a new one yet. The one the mall has charges me a dollar but it tells me my body fat percentage too. I wish I could weigh myself once a week, but once a month will do.

    Weigh myself every morning after I wake up and after I use the potty room.
    I record it twice a month on here.
    Every few days on my own personal excel sheet.

    I don't have a scale, but there is a scale at the gym I go to, so I weigh myself there. Not every time I'm there though - just when it occurs to me. Maybe once or twice a week. I like to see if my weight is changing or staying the same.

    I weigh myself once a week, every Friday morning, under the exact same conditions. I wake up, eat breakfast, work out, go to the bathroom (every ounce counts lol), strip down and weigh myself before I get in the shower. I find that the consistency puts me at ease and lets me know exactly what I have lost. I would never weigh myself more than once a week though.
