I've noticed that I weigh more in the morning than I do in the afternoon...often by as much as 3 pounds! What's up with that??? I used to hear that you should weigh in the morning, but all that does is depress me for the day since I always weigh less in the afternoon.
When do you weigh and why do you use that time?

    I weigh myself in the morning as I tend to be lighter then and it's part of my morning routine.

    But to be honest it doesn't matter what time you weigh yourself as long as you always weigh yourself at the same time, on the same scales in the same clothes (or no clothes), you will see the general patten.

    ^^^ I agree with this.
    My preference is to weigh myself in the morning.

    I also weigh less later in day than first thing in morning. I weigh in at 10 or so.

    Its doesn't matter as long as its the same time, same conditions every day. I weigh in the morning so that I'm weighing when my tummy is the most empty.

    If seeing your weight fluctuations throughout the day is messing with your head, stop weighing multiple times a day.

    I also weigh in first thing in the morning, right after going to the bathroom but before breakfast. That will be your most accurate reading

    First thing Sunday morning. You're going to drive yourself crazy if you look at those numbers EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! So many things can affect your day-to-day weight that it isn't worth checking all the time. Bowl movements, water weight...etc. can change your weight by as much as 5 or 6 lbs so do yourself a favor and chop it to once a week.

    I weigh around 7 give or take after I go to the bathroom. Seems the best time to do it.

    I'm a weirdo. I weigh myself first thing in the morning and maybe 7 more times throughout the day haha. I just like seeing water food, water, exercise, etc, does to me.

    6 am daily. I don't think time matters as much as consistency.

    First thing in the morning, after I use the bathroom. I either weigh naked or in underwear.

    Consistency matters more than anything. And I know it's consistent in the morning because I haven't had anything to eat or drink yet.

    My weighing routine is to get up in the morning, wash my hands, put on my contacts, use the restroom, wash my hands again, put down the scale in the same exact spot as the day before and weigh myself a few times to ensure that I get the same result at least twice in a row for accuracy.

    First thing in the morning after using the restroom. I usually step on 3 separate times and take the average. Hope this helps!
