    It doesn't matter as long as you do it at the same time every day. However, I think most people find they weigh less in the morning. I know I do!

    Most people weigh in the morning, but it doesn't really matter as long as you are consistent about weighing at the same time of day. If you find it works best for your life to do it in the evening before dinner, do that every day. Consistency is more important than the actual time.

    In the morning is when you are at your true weight. This is the best time to weigh. The further in the day, food and water effect your actual weight.

    I go for the morning weigh in after I have completely woken up. I don't drink nor eat until I have finished my weigh in. :)

    personally i do it after my morning jog and i always strip down to my boxers. as long as you always do it on the same time and day and wear similar clothes you should be able to keep good track of your progress. i would also recommend doing it only once a week.

    i weigh in first thing in the morning, every morning, to keep me on track. I record the weight once a week on Thursdays for my personal purposes. That is the weight I post here.

    I weigh in at TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) on Thursday nights at 6:00. It fluctuates and is always several pounds higher. Hate it!

    The most important part is the same time every day so it is always consistent. I like to get up in the morning, use the washroom and then weight my self before I eat or drink. I find I weight the less then after spending the day eating and gaining water weight for the day. I also think it is important to do it the same day every week.
