I don't mean like what day. But do you weigh in before your workout that particular day? or after? if after how soon after?

    even though they say not to... I weigh in every morning after I get up. I like to see progress because it helps to motivate me to keep going for that day.

    Ha-ha!

    I weighed in after eating breakfast this morning. still showed a loss of 1.9lb but now I wish I would have done it before. Even though a loss is a loss, of course I'd rather see a bigger loss! :) ha-ha

    As soon as I get up, after using the bathroom and not eating anything.

    When I started my weight loss, I weighed myself on the nurse's scale where I work and was wearing scrubs and my work shoes. It was morning after I arrived at work and before I had any coffee. I weigh every day using the same scale and under the same circumstances to keep things consistent.

    first thing in the morning: relieve myself, weigh. I think that's the way to get the most consistent measurement. However, I do find that if I ate a larger dinner (eg: steak on my anniversary) it shows on the scale in the morning, but will be "gone" by the next day. I do weigh every day, even though a lot of people on this site say to weigh only once a week, because I need the motivation to get through the day, and because I don't want to wait a week to find out how much that steak dinner mattered.

    Right now I step on the scale daily, first thing in the morning after I relieve myself and on an empty stomach. Like others I like to see the results of what exactly I'm putting into my body and what I'm working off. However I only enter it on Sunday because I know weight can fluctuate from day to day.

    I weigh in every Wed. around 2pm fully clothed with empty bladder!! Most Doctors and trainers will tell you weighing your self more than once a week is unhealthy for you,, you will become obsessed with the scale.... I have been very careful and staying in close contact with my Doctor sense deciding I need to loose weight for my kids. I am a recovered Bulimic and I in no way wanna be either eating disorder I have been even printing off my diary for my doctor so she knows I am not just starving myself!!! I wish you good luck hum but remember once a week, every 2 weeks, or once a month!!!

    i don;t have a scale...i have looked everywhere for one, and can't find one! So i weigh in when i go to my parents, about once a month. Usually i try to first thing, when i wake up if i stay the night. If i do not stay overnight, i try when i have an empty stomach and hope for the best!

    I always weigh in the morning after I've worked out and had a shower and before I eat breakfast.
