Weighing Myself - When?

So, this is an extremely dumb question, but when do you weigh yourself? I usually do it at night, a good 2 or 3 hours after my last meal, but recently I've started weighing in the morning. There's about a three or four pound difference from evening to morning - I'm always lighter in the AM. Sooo...which do I go with? The heavier (evening) or the lighter (morning)? Either way, since starting this journey, I've gained about 12 pounds. :(

I'm so looking forward to cut...

    I always weigh in the morning, after I've gone to the bathroom, before I've had breakfast. I want a number that as closely as possible is "just me", not last nights dinner and the gallon of water I drank yesterday. But either way, I think the important thing is to be consistent. If your evening routine is more convenient for you, stick with it, just make sure you're comparing apples to apples.
