When is the best time to log in your weight? In the morning or in the evening?

MORNING Unless you enjoy logging a higher weight due to the water accumulation.:flowerforyou:

I consistently check mine in the morning before eating/drinking anything.

I read its best in the morning right after you pee...

I sometimes check mine throughout the day...but I always log what I weigh first thing in the morning...

I concur. Morning.
And make sure you wear the same clothes each time you weigh-in too.

I weigh myself every Sunday morning, after I have done my morning toilet duties.

Yup, like nothing
Also, track your measurements, those can change and get smaller even if the scale isn't moving. I went from a 12 to a 10 without losing 1 lb thanks to strength training.

I have one of those Tanita scales that measure fat, muscle, % water and the like. According to that it is best to weigh yourself in the evening as it is a more accurate representation of your body fat %. In the morning apparently you are dehydrated from not drinking overnight so it can skew the reading. Perhaps not a problem if you don't measure body fat with your scale!

But regardless, I'd say the only important thing is to pick a time of day and stick to it. So evening, before dinner or morning after breakfast or whatever. As long as it the same each time it should give you a more accurate comparison to the previous weigh in.

i weigh in the mornings (because i like the lower number) however i log in my weight from before tea (about 4pm). the way i see it is if i get on the scales somewhere else bragging that i lost weight the scales wont reflect my figgers.
