    I try not to get too anxious about weighing in ( i still eat, drink tons of water as usual). I get a good nights rest, and I weigh myself naked every saturday morning after I use the bathroom.
    THat day, I start over eating healthy and counting my calories :)

    -- Question though. Do you all decrease your caloric intake weekly?

    strip to my undies, step on the scale, and stand straight, look forward for about 10 sec. then look down to see if it measured my weight.

    I would like to know what others do the day before and the day of a weigh in. Do you stop eating at a certain time the day before? DO you still drink water? Whats the best way to get an accurate reading?

    do not weigh after a work out. its not accurate cuz you lose water weight.
    weigh yourself first thing in the morning after you pee.
    bowel movements do not shed weight suprisingly. just pee first.

    I try not to have a high-sodium meal the night before, but other than that... same as the rest here.

    The avoiding high-sodium the night before just means not having something like sushi (soy sauce). I don't like the spike from water weight - it's discouraging.

    Use the restroom, get naked, stand on scale.

    Manipulating your meal timing outside of your normal behavior patterns seems silly. You'd only be fooling yourself and providing less than accurate data.

    this is exactly how i do it and how i feel about it. as long as you're consistent with your weigh-ins, including when/how, you should be okay.

    Once a month on a day that I'm reasonably sure I'm not constipated or retaining water, I get out of bed, pee, and weigh myself in my birthday suit.

    I dont do anything different than I would any other day. But maybe that's because I weigh myself every day but only report my losses on Monday.


    Monday is my day!!!

    Every Friday night after work and a workout I eat a light meal and weigh in. Then I post to myfitnesspal.

    But I still weigh in each day.

    This is kind of gross.... but I like to weigh myself on mornings before I've had a shower and after I've had a really big .... erm... bowel movement .... ok awkward....

    and then I get naked and hop on the scale. Even if it goes down 0.2 pounds, I'm thrilled. Because it's 0.2 less than the last time I ... erm... you know... i don't really want to say it again.
