I like to weigh myself usually right after lunch. And that's the weight i record on MFP. Why?

You know how sometimes u eat and your belly might pudge out a little? i feel like that's the weight that most people see me at. so therefore that is my "true" weight and that's what i like to put in on MFP. I just feel like its more honest. LOL idk why. haha

Some people however, like to weigh in the nude, before eating anything, first thing in the morning. LOL and they think im nuts.

SO how do you prefer to weigh yourself? and why?

    In the morning because I'm the lightest and that technically is your true weight. But just go by measurements the scale doesn't take into account of a lot of things like water weight or bone density or muscle mass.

    In the morning with the same level of clothing. Why? Consistency. Once you start eating and drinking your weight is going to fluctuate hugely. Even as it is, it already fluctuates a lot. But it's the most consistent method I have found.

    As long as you are weighing the same way each time, I don't think it matters a whole lot. I'm one that likes to weigh in the morning without clothes. It makes sense to me, different clothes and meals may not weigh the same each time.

    At the gym, after my workout. It has a "standard" counter-weight style scales that are calibrated and its out in the main corridor. I've thought about measuring myself nude but I think I would send all the gym bunnies screaming in horror and make them bleed from the eyes. That could be fun but I'll probably get kicked out.

    Many said the best is naked...in the morning after you went (number 2) and exhale completely.

    Why.... well naked is ovious.... in the morning is because your stomach's empty.... After you pooped, cause you can hold up to 5 pounds of crap inside (not kidding) and exhale cause ...yes air does weight something....

    Not kidding here... Anyway, Just my advice here ;)


    Take care

    I do it after I work out as that is the only scale I have access to. Also, it's consistent as that is the only way I've measured myself in the last year or so.

    I think one of the posts went over everyone's head since the title has a misspelling of "weight" ... there could be two understands of the topic. The most common way people weight themselves I've seen is a vest, but you can use a belt with chains for exercises like dips.

    The best time to weigh yourself is after a regular night's sleep early in the day.
