    I weigh in every first thing Tuesday morning as my "offical" weight. I do this naked after I have used the bathroom and before my shower or breakfast.

    I weigh myself daily....this is just for my own reference (adjusting for sodium intake and non-exercise days)...every morning when I get up after I go to the bathroom. I'll weight myself after exercising too just for kicks.

    I do Thursday mornings butt naked. :laugh: I chose Thursday because that was the day of the week when I started on here and I've just stuck with the day since.

    I weigh myself once a week. I am aware that my weight may fluctuate throughout the day and week. So once that I check in for the week, I forget about it til next week.
    I just happen to start on a Tuesday morning so I thought I'd stick with that. And I thought to myself "How can I remember to weigh in on Tuesdays?" So I decided to call it Tubby Tuesday, that way I remember.

    First thing in the morning - before breakfast and shower. I weigh about every other day- just because I'm addicted to the scale, but I only track on Thursdays. I used to do Mondays, but that didn't give me enough time to recover from a rough weekend( I always have a hard time staying on track during the weekends!), so I switched to Thursdays which is working really well for me!

    I weigh every Friday morning, after I go to the bathroom, naked. I chose Friday's, because I am off work that day and don't have the "get ready for work" rush going on.

    I weigh myself every morning just to stay on track, however I log my weigh on Thursday morning. First thing in the morning.

    I weigh first thing on Wednesday morning after using the bathroom. I picked Wednesday because I get together with my family on Tuesday nights and when I sit down to dinner I think, "I have to weigh-in in the morning so I better be good" it just helps me from overeating in a situation where I normally would!!!

    My husband and I have been weighing in on Monday mornings, same as most.. after the bathroom trip, before shower and breakfast. I have been checking like every 3 days just so I can see how drinking more water is affecting what I weigh certain days.

    I do it everyday....I know they say not to but it helps me keep things in check and let me know if I need to work harder that day! Then I also am in TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) so I get my official weight check on Tuesday evenings!

    I used to weigh in on Tuesday mornings. I'm off every Monday and figured it was best since it's the day I start my week off. Since I have reached my goal I have moved my day to Friday mornings butt naked after I used the bathroom. I find that since I've reached my goal weight I drink on the weekends now, and Tuesday is just to soon to weigh in to see if I'm maintaining the weight. When I first started I thought about weighing in everyday but my husband told me not too, that it would make me stress to much about the weight I'm losing. I'm glad I took his advice I;ve lost 21pounds in about 3 months!

    I weigh everyday, and track it, but my "real" weigh in is Tuesday morning, because that is the day of the week my sister and I made our 8 week/8 lbs weight loss challenge. I guess I'm a little funny, but I weigh in after I go to the bathroom and after I breastfeed my daughter (there is actually a pretty reasonable pre-nursing and post-nursing weight difference!), but also after I've had a cup of coffee. Don't ask me why... it's just habit. Then I eat breakfast afterwards.

    I weigh in during the morning, right after waking. This is my baseline weight for the day. I also weigh before and after excercizing to see if I've lost a huge amount of water weight.. maybe I do weigh too much but it gives me encouragement.

    I only record the weight if it is consistant for 3 days.

    Saturday mornings, get up, get naked, pee :blushing: weigh, do a happy dance. Saturdays because I didn't own a scale at all until a few weeks ago and we bought it on a fFiday night

    But, that's just me.

    I weigh myself every morning before I hit the shower, just to keep tabs on myself. My official weigh-in is Saturday mornings, first thing. I picked Saturday because I have had a full week of eating well, drinking lots of water, and 4 days of hard workouts. This also keeps me from consuming adult beverages on Friday night. I typically weigh 2-4 lbs more in the beginning of the week than I do at the end.

    I have read many times that you should weigh yourself at the same time each day you step on the scale because your weight can fluctuate throughout the day depending on how much water you drink, sodium you consume, etc etc.

    I weigh in on Wednesday morning naked and after I go to the bathroom. Wednesday is the day I started so I am sticking with it....also I eat out on Thursdays usually so I remember I just lost weight....so don't put it back on. I also weigh in the same time of day/morning.

    I get on the sales usually every other morning but only track my weight "officially" on a Friday morning. I struggle on a weekend to be super good so I have a little rest at the weekend - enjoy it! - but get back on it Monday morning and can usually see a loss by Friday :)

    It means I don't feel guilty having a sneaky white wine spritzer (or 5!) on a weekend and still see results :)

    I weigh in daily and put it in here when I see a drop. My official weigh in day though is Tuesday, chosing it was random.
