    I worked at an eating disorder facility for anorexics & bulimics. We always weighed them in the morning. Their hair had to be dry, just used the restroom, & had just a gown on to get the most accurate weight.
    If you weight in in the evening you are also seeing the food & fluids you've eaten throughout the day.

    I weigh in the morning in the nude (after I pee). I have always been told that is the best.:smile:

    If you weigh in first thing in the morning after going to the toilet with not clothes on you are actually weighing your body mass.

    It doesn't matter if you weigh yourself at the same time of day because you don't always eat and drink exactly the same things each day. You'll be adding on the weight of the food and drink you've taken in.

    I always weigh more at night. So I always weigh first thing in the morning, no clothes.

    First thing in the morning , naked and after going to the toilet.

    And its this way all the time so you are consistant.

    Try a little experiment weigh yourself at night just before bed then in the morning after you go to the washroom and...PRESTO you'll be about 2 lbs lighter then the prior night.
    What I've been told is you lose some of that water weight as well as your body is repairing yourself while you sleep, (filling the glycogen stores in muscles, etc) That is what accounts for the loss over night

    I always weigh in the morning

    The only time to get an accurate weight is first thing in the morning, before you've ate or drank anything, and after you've used the bathroom. I do it without clothing, but if you have clothes on it usually only makes a difference of about .2 or .4 :)

    Yeah in the am, but I dont do it naked. The scale is in the workout area, which is in the cold garage...lol. So i do it with clothes on and i would never again shower and then weigh myself. Maybe its my hair, but one time i did that and it was a 6 pound difference. Not good people. lol
