When is the best time of the day to check weight?

in Getting Started
I check my weight every morning before eating or drinking anything. How about you?

Hoping to get new ideas on this topic.

    When you wake up urinate and then weigh in.

    In the morning, after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking anything.

    Anytime I feel like it.

    But, the only one I record (when I can stay on schedule) is Monday evenings at the gym. Around the same time, and always the same scale.

    I weigh myself every Saturday morning after using the toilet and before eating.
    The reading is more accurate in the morning than at night after you have eaten.

    I find it fascinating to weight every night and every morning. I feel like it keeps it real and helps me not freak about fluctuations that are a normal part of weight loss. And it is very rewarding when your current am weight turns into your pm weight. That is just me,

    i weigh all day, but consider my official check-in weight to be right after i wake up and go to the bathroom.

    It is completely up to you. However, in order for an accurate reading, for an "official" weight in, I would recommend weighing in at around the same time every day, in the same clothing (if you weight with clothing on).

    For me, I weight first thing in the morning right after I wake up. I won't drink any water before I weight in. I use the bathroom and weigh without clothes. My scale is always in the same place and I use an electronic scale. So I know my readings are accurate for me.

    Every two or three days very first thing in the morning. Only record a new weight after 4 weighings read the same.

    Wake, pee, weigh. :)

    Try to weigh in wearing the same thing every day...for many people, it's their birthday suit. :)
