    I weigh first thing in the morning before I've had anything to eat. It doesn't really matter, anyway, as long as you weigh at the same time.

    Yea, everyone is different. Just like everyone can't eat over 2,000 calories a day and still lose weight.

    ^ This. And I also understand that there will be day-to-day up and down fluctuations due to sodium intake/water balance and a host of other possible causes. As long as the overall trend is downward over weeks/months, it's all good.

    First thing in the morning, but I do it naked (sorry if its to much info) but your clothes will make you weigh a couple pounds more then you are. So I get completely naked. Hope this helps.

    I never said you did, did I? Some people probably prefer to do it their own way until they get closer to their goal weight.

    I weigh myself 2x a day -first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom, and last thing before I crawl into bed at night. It's not an obsession for me so if forget and crawl into bed and haven't weighed myself I don't get out of bed to do it, or if I forget in the morning it's no big deal.

    The morning weigh-in is the one I feel is most accurate. The bed time weigh-in is a motivator for me - it keeps me from eating too much in the evening, and it also reminds me that there will be fluctuations.

    I think whatever time you weight yourself is fine, as long as it's consistent.
