    I have weight watcher scales, always position them in the same square in my bathroom, and always do it between 11am and noon.

    For some reason historically I am normally at my lightest at that point.

    I go to the scale once a week. Weigh myself first thing in the morning, usually on Mondays. Guess I'm lazy because I only take off pants lol. I'm not a morning person. I have to wait until my night vision goes away to read the scale.

    I'm a woman so I skip weighing myself one week a month :/ Don't need water weight and bloating to discourage me.

    I also have to move my scale around on the floor or use my dumbbells to make sure it's accurate because there's not a spot of even flooring in this house, it seems.

    I weigh myself daily, after the shower, without clothing... It takes out all of the variables. I like knowing the daily results even if it fluctuates.

    I used to weigh myself daily. Now I just weigh once in a while, and it's naked, first thing in the am.

    I wake up, go pee, take off my pjs & weigh myself. If it is down, I record it. I don't care if it down just for 30 seconds. I saw it and own it :)

    ^^This!!

    I weigh myself with no clothes on. Its winter and I tend to add a lot of layers to my ensemble. I figure, why let that change my numbers, and make me feel further from my goals than I actually am.

    I also found an amazing scale on livingsocial.com, in their shop section.
    I was able to get it for under $25, and it measures my water, fat, muscle, and bone mass. That way I know where my weight gain is coming from if there is any. A lot of times people gain muscle through exercise, and mistake that weight gain for a gain in fat. This is especially common if your doing any kind of weight training.

    Hope this helps!

    I was once told by a dietician that our weight is most accurate first thing in the morning after peeing. So that is when I weigh myself, after going to the washroom and stripping down to nothing (I found clothes can weight from a half pound to a full pound so I strip!).

    I've weighed myself later in the day our of curiosity and it was always up from the morning weight. Our weight naturally fluctuates during the day so I was told it is impossible to get an accurate weight during the day.

    I try to do it only once a week but will admit I do it almost every day. LOL

    First thing in the morning, naked after using the toilet. I use a fitbit aria scale so it automatically uploads to MFP

    I weigh myself every morning after I go potty and every night before bed. The night time weight is usually 1-2 pounds heavier than the morning weight. I record the morning weight only if it holds true for at least 2 days. My weight normally fluctuates so I like to keep a two day buffer of weight loss before I record it or I will get discouraged the next day when it's back up.

    Same here. I also weigh myself during the day mostly out of curiosity. Amazing I went from 173 to 177 to 173 throughout the day yesterday.

    I weigh myself every day though. I do this for a few reasons.

    1. I can see if I am still in caloric deficit (if my weight starts going up and up then I know I am eating too much)
    2. I can make sure I am not losing too much weight too fast.
    3. Motivation!!!!!!!!!!! Not only to stay the course but to make my weight loss goals.

    Ummm....I'm not a scientist or anything but I highly doubt your calories are turning to fat that fast! I believe the numbers go up due to water retention.
    You also wouldn't lose pounds that fast....except possibly from water weight.
    Your weight will naturally go up during the day....I hope you aren't cutting back on calories because of this!
    Weigh in the morning and go by that number. Feel free to weigh throughout the day but don't base what you eat on those numbers!

    Once per week, naked first thing in the morning after I pee. I record it whether it is up or down. Because I am pretty OCD about logging I have a really good feel whether an up is water weight or if I really ate a surplus to put on fat.

    Get naked, smack my butt to see if it still feels jiggly, tap the on button with my big toe and wait for the screen to switch from
    to 0.0lb , step up, look to the heavens silently whispering "please please please", look down, shake my head either up and down or left to right, step off, get dressed, go running.
