Wondering what day is a favorite for people to do their weigh ins and why? I have always done Sat morning because I usually have Sat evening as a free time to eat out with the family or have a treat, etc.

    I usually do Saturday or Sunday morning. My week is very busy, and we eat out a lot. So, it makes sense for me to do it on the weekend when things are calmer. I also notice that if I weigh in on a weekday, I'll weigh a pound or two more. Probably because I do eat out.

    That's kind of why I chose Saturday! I have the whole rest of the week before I have to weigh in again and I eat well through out the week...lol

    I like Mondays, keeps me accountable over the weekend.

    I do Friday morning too. I usually do really well with exercise and eating during the week and tend to have a bit less control on weekends. So I give myself the week to work it all off!

    Saturday morning is really great but Monday mornings held me more accountable for my eating.

    I like Fridays also, I tend to be good all week when I'm at work and on schedule.

    Ok..I'll edit this..I weigh myself EVERY morning...like a scale stalker! And sometimes before bed..I just like keeping an eye on it...but Sat is the only day it counts. When I did Weight Watchers, weigh ins were Tues Evening and I did well with that...but I never let myself slip for 3 months...so when I went on vacation, I ate everything!!!! LoL And I haven't been the same since, add a baby on top of that...forget about it!

    I do mine Monday's when I wake up. But I focus now more on the taping than the pounds.

    I prefer Wednesdays, oh-dark-thirty. Like a scale to know I can be lenient on the weekend but get me back in line if I go overboard.

    That and i HATE ruining my weekends by looking at that little liar, sitting on the floor judging me like digitla Cheshire cat.

    Actually? Friday afternoon, this is actually my heaviest time for the week so I always feel a little better knowing those numbers are high.

    I always do Sunday mornings, first thing. I guess I want to know how well I acted on Friday and Saturday :)

    I like to weigh every morning at the same time. This way I am able to track fluctuations against my food log. You can learn a lot about yourself and adjust your diet as needed to meet your goals.

    I always do Sunday mornings also. It's kind of TMI....but basically...I only weigh myself after I've used the bathroom and I can't usually do that when I first wake up. Since Sunday is the only day that I never have to work it gives me time in the morning to just hang out for a bit before eating breakfast and then weigh myself once the deed has been done.

    I weigh in on Friday mornings - I started MFP on a Friday ...Friday is the only day exercise is off limits ...this is the day that I usually eat my favorite foods that are less healthy.

    I do Weigh in Wednesday's" personally. Really can't explain why. I think I get a good guage on my progress for the week and it's usually good enough news to get me over the "hump-day-hump"... :happy:

    Every day...
    I weight every day and track the trends. The only virtue in stressing out over some silly wight in day is if you're an MMA fighter challenging for a title. If not, just pick a day - any day...every day...

    I weigh myself every day (morning & night), but I only log my weight on Wednesday afternoons. The only reason is that the first time I weighed myself before starting with MFP, it was Wednesday afternoon. Just made sense to me to keep the same day and time every week.
