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

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

    ^this

    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.

    Yepp, same here.

    I'm glad other people do this too.

    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.

    Daily, morning, naked after peeing :) that way I can be consistent and also tell if something I ate had too much sodium or if anything I ate impacted the scales

    I weigh every Fri. morning first thing... before I consume anything.... probably not a good true weight, buit psychologically it motivates me as I start the next week...

    First thing in the morning. And then later when a) I'm awake b) can read the scale and c) can remember what numbers mean.

    I guess this depends how seriously you take it all.

    I weigh aprox weekly (sometimes Sat, or Sun, or when I remember) after tea, in my nightie.
    I dont bother counting how many hours since I have eaten or excersised - I expect fluctuations so little fluctuations caused by variations in these things don't matter - as long as the number is within my acceptable range then it is ok
