As above really does it matter which day of the week you weigh in or is there such a thing as a better time to do so?

    i like to weigh in friday morning after i have been doing well all week.. double check myself on monday morning after i splurge on weekends lol

    I personally check the scale close to everyday. sometimes i record more frequently if there's a loss. it doesn't really matter. because it's all about YOU! and what YOUR needs are. so find what u are comfortable with. :)

    I think you have to pic whats right for you..... I do worse on the weekends with certain foods, especially ones higher in Sodium.. so, I weigh in on Friday mornings. I always weigh in first thing in the morning, straight out of bed and after hitting the toilet (TMI, I know) but it helps ensure I get the most accurate each time I weigh in. I also try to step on the scale in just underwear....... but its just whatever works for you.

    I usually weigh in every other week on a Monday, but that's just habit. Whatever works for you :)

    Also, I weigh around 6pm (after I get in from work). Most people seems to record their morning weigh in's but I always found I am heavier in the mornings - water retention I guess.

    I record daily, in the morning, after shedding 1/4 lb .... and track it so I can get a running trend on a graph. My official weigh in is Tuesday night at Weight Watcher meeting - it tends to be +6lb's heavier than the morning weigh in with the clothes on, no shoes.

    My first weigh in will be Tuesday and I've been making an effort not to go near a scale until then. I tend to get discouraged if I haven't lost any weight so I want to give myself a whole week in between weigh-ins.

    Every saturday morning, same time, same clothes, same scales!! Gives me an accurate benchmark as to my weightloss / gain.

    I weigh in every day and log all losses but no gains. I report my official loss on MFP every Friday morning. This really works well for me because I am always able to catch an upward trend before it gets too far. I also make minor adjustments to my daily diet depending on how I am trending. This works well for me but really is not for everyone.

    Today was my 1st weigh in so from now on I'll always weigh in on a Friday morning. Although I seem to be on the scales every day!

    Weds am for me. I try to avoid stepping on the scales on other days, but sometimes I can't help myself. Only log Weds weight though.

    Sunday morning, after breakfast and before a big Sunday Dinner + pudding! But only every other week or every third week. I am good at not weighing myself and don't tend to feel tempted in between - and i find it helps my motivation to see a loss at most weigh-ins.

    I weigh in every Friday morning and log it here. I often have a sneaky check on a Monday morning too, but that's it.

    I only joined a few days ago but have decided a friday morning will work best for me. 2lb off already so very happy with that :)

    I am one of those freaks that weigh every work day. I dont own a scale so I weigh myself as soon as I get to work. The day to day fluctuations do not bother me and I only log on Wednesday.

    There is no real set day of the week that is better. It depends what works for you. Just keep the cirumstances in which you weigh the same. I generally weigh in on friday morning, that way I have the weekend to indulg a little and get back on track for the next weigh in without beating myself up about it or getting discouraged.
