    The best thing (IMO) to do is weigh yourself once per week at the same time under the same conditions. For example; I weight every Saturday morning after using the restroom and in the buff. I do that every week so the fluctuations based on clothing, waste, etc. are lessened.

    P.S. The search function would probably have worked :) And you can add me if you like!

    Once a week is usually recommended. If you choose to weigh yourself daily you'll need to understand that the body has normal fluctuations from day to day. You want to worry about the trends rather than a sudden increase in the scale one day.

    We're at our lightest first thing in the morning after you visit the bathroom. You can weigh up to 5 pounds heavier by the end of the day depending on how much food, water, and waste is in your body.
