    In the morning after I go to the bathroom, naked is best.

    I weigh myself every time I workout, with my workout clothes/shows/ipod on, likely after a full work day and a number of meals & snacks, but prior to actual exercise (unless I workout at lunch at the office). The treadmills at my gym ask for my weight when i start, which is a great reminder since I always start my warmup with a swift, high-incline walk.

    If I don't make it to the gym (which is at least 1 weekend day each week), then I don't weigh myself. I do have a scale at home, but I like the consistency of using the same one. And I think our weight fluctuations are really interesting, so it doesn't give me any stress to weigh every day and see if bounce up and down.

    Always first thing in the morning, not just because I'm lighter then, but so many other factors through the day can alter your true weight.

    The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after using the bathroom! :D You can do this naked, or just in your undies (it won't really add anything). Depends on where your scale is and your comfort levels. I use my Wii Fit board to weigh myself, and it has the option of selecting how heavy your outfit is! Hope this helps!

    i weigh first thing in the morning about once a week. doesn't really matter when you weigh, but be consistent in the time to properly track it. if you weigh today in the morning, don't weigh sunday in the afternoon. :)

    Usually in the early mornings.. but for me now, the way my clothing fits me, is my scale!

    i agree! i use to weigh daily religiously....now i limit myself to one day a week. and i don't even worry about it much. if what i see in the mirror is changing, and i feel it in my clothes, that's all that matters!

    First thing in the morning so I can start my day with in the "get fit" frame of mind! Seeing progress excites me for the day and seeing lack of progress makes me know I have to work a little bit harder so tomorrow will be better! :D 1 day at a time and I will reach my goal!

    First thing in the morning, naked after using the restroom and showering. Although, I only do it once a week. Anymore than that is excessive and frustrating

    First thing in the morning. Naked. After I pee...before I shower (or put on gym clothes).

    Every morning at 6am, after my 2 mile jog, after I pee, in my gym shorts, before I shower.

    However, I also weigh *after* my shower, because I'm fascinated (and confused) by the differences in both weight and BF% sometimes.

    Bonus, my scale is wifi connected, so it automatically posts to my wall...well, only when it's less than the day before since MFP seems to think that you only want to post days that your lose to your wall ignoring the reality that even in a perfect weight loss environment, there are days where the scale will be a little higher than the day before. Actually, scratch "even in" and substitute "especially in" because if you're at an appropriate calorie deficit, there will be a lot of these daily bumps up. By not sharing those, it gives an unrealistic expectation to others of what *real*, *sustainable* weight loss looks like.

    TL;DR - Hey, MFP! Give us an option to automatically share all of our weight changes if we want.

    Me too. Soon as I get out of bed, daily weigh in. Sometimes I like to weigh myself before i go to sleep so I can see how the day has gone. Always a bonus when you wake up to find you have lost weight whilst sleeping.

    Really? Does weight go up?

    This is different for everyone and has to do with your circadian rhythm. For me it's some time between 10:30 am and 11 am that I weigh the least. Any time before that and I'll be up at least a pound or two.

    Sometimes. Sometimes it goes down. Sometimes one goes up and the other goes down.

    Maybe it's a dehydration thing...or maybe the humidity of the shower affects the measurement. Who knows. I just know that I find it interesting, so I weigh twice each morning.

    I just started working with an online trainer and he told me to weigh myself in the morning right after I get up before eating or drinking anything. Makes sense to me. They want to get an average week to week under same conditions.

    Same, except I wear boxers and a T. Wouldn't want to scar/scare anybody. ;)

    It's really the only time, given you're not supposed to eat or drink within 4 hours of weighing, or exercise within twelve hours, and should have an empty bladder if you're measuring your body fat %!

    Always this. Oddly 99% of the time, I'm already fully dressed for the day when I decide I need to weigh.
