proper time to weigh yourself.

Think about it - if you drink 8oz of water you will weigh 8oz more.

So in the morning you've fasted for 6-8 hours and it would be your true weight without having put anything in your stomach yet.

The proper time to weight yourself is in the morning after you pee and wearing no clothes. You will gain and lose water weight throughout the day so your weight seem to will fluctuate, but your actual weight is what you weigh first thing in the morning.

I think its also important to note that you weigh yourself at the same time and be consistant.. what I've noticed is that during the week my weight is like the stock market.. up and down on a day to day basis but each monday my "weigh in" day its trending down so I'm happy..

The best time to weigh yourself is in the morning, before you eat, naked, after you used the bathroom. That way your don't have any excess food in your body and you have gotten rid of the food from the day before. Don't weigh yourself with clothes on because then you are adding in the weight of the clothes too.

I agree. That's when I weigh myself, and that's what my physician told me told. I feel I am getting the most accurate weight then.

i weigh in when i get out of bed and go to the bathroom before getting in the shower. the important thing, though, is weighing in the same way at the same time every time. So if you weigh in during the morning, weigh in that way everytime. My fiance weighs in at work (office competition started it) so he continues with that. It's hard to tell accurate loss if you weigh in before your morning shower today but next week at the end of the day before going to bed.

This is good too. :-) Same time, every time. I usually only weigh in on Mondays, to keep myself more accountable on the weekends, but I have started a mid-week weigh in for short term goals.

Be consistent, pick a time and use it. It really doesn't matter. The morning will always be the least. I weigh myself after I do my gym workout. If you go to the doctor you're not asked what your weight was at your morning weigh in. It is only a number and it is all about how YOU feel and your clothes fit. Just keep doing what your doing and the number will continue to get smaller.

The best time to weigh yourself is the same time, everyday.

I weigh myself every morning after the bathroom, naked, before breakfast. Then I take the numbers for the week and average them out. I keep those on my Google Calendar I set up just for workouts and fitness journal. So far it's been working for me. I keep track of my calories, workouts (calories burned using HRM), and my weight. It's easy to go back and SEE why I didn't lose the weight I had planned. Or why I lost more than I expected when you look at exactly what you were doing.

After a workout I can easily drink two bottled waters (16.9 oz each x 2 = 2 lbs water gain). I doubt I sweat the same amount. I don't think weighing once a week is accurate at all.
