WHEN DO YOU WEIGH?

I used to do a "Wednesday Weigh Day," but I'm finding that weighing on Friday seems to be the best. It gives you plenty of time to work off the previous weekend's screw-ups. What day do you weigh? Or do you weigh every day?

    I just started doing this, but now I weigh everyday, at the same time. I track that number so I can see what I'm doing right and/or wrong. I was weighing at difference times on different days, but the scale fluctuations were driving me nuts so I now do it always when I first wake up.

    I weigh every day between 5:00 am and 7:00 am. Doing every day for close to a year.

    I do it every day, first thing in the morning after first toilet visit, when I'm at home. I find particularly when I'm travelling, I tend to eat in hotels/restaurants, thus higher sodium than my normal, and don't always get the chance to drink as much so retain water. I was away all last week returning Thursday night. When I weighed Friday morning I was exactly the same weight I was the previous Sunday. However since then, 3 days, I've lost 4 lbs as my excess water went. This is one reason I don't like weighing weekly, the fluctuations can make you think you are plateauing, then suddenly you drop.

    I do it every 4 to 7 days, in the afternoon or evening at the mall. They have exact weight machines there that charge 25 cents. It is cheaper than paying 35 bucks for a scale that is accurate to the .1lb. I usually do it after my mall walk, and a trip to the bathroom.

    I weigh in every Monday morning before work! This way I know if I had a good week or if it needs improvement! Monday is a start of a new week & also new thoughts!

    I weigh myself everyday in the morning before i eat or drink anything but only log in my weight when I have lost a pound.

    Never - having only got 6lbs MAX to lose (if I can even lose any of that) I don't expect the scale to move, so I go by what I look like and feel like. I only weighed recently cause I felt more confident, slimmer and more toned. But if I weigh and I've put on or haven't changed then I get disheartened and I'm more likely to indulge. So it's a personal choice, really :)

    Sunday morning, naked, before eating or drinking. Then I log in, whatever it was.

    I weigh myself on Monday and on Friday. That has worked out well for me.
