    Is in the morning best? This is my 1st week of dieting and not sure whether to wait till after a couple of weeks as not sure if I'll have lost much in 1 week.

    You might be surprised! My first week of tracking I lost like 3 pounds. :)

    I feel it's best for me to weigh int he morning. By the end of the day I tend to feel bloated.

    Lightest weight is typically first thing in the morning after using the bathroom and naked. It typically has the least amount of variables since clothing, food, water, waste, etc can all show on the scale and for most will vary from day to day.

    How often you weigh is up to you. If you want to know when your holding onto water then more frequent weigh-in's are better for that. If you will get upset if you see a slight gain, then less frequent weighs might be better. If you want to see 2-4 lbs losses at a time then maybe once a month would be best (you don't look like you have a lot to lose and that typically means slower loss).

    Every single day, first thing after I wake up and pee. Wish I could poop first thing, but that doesn't happen until after breakfast.

    Thanks everyone, just trying to lose the last few pounds, I was a stone and a half heavier a few years ago and managed to lose it and maintain that loss but in the past year I've felt my weight creeping up again.

    Everyday. I have an aria scale, so I step on first thing after going to the bathroom in the morning and it updates my weight for me. I also, check trendweight.com every couple days to make sure that the overall trend is going in the right direction.

    uh, nice... I am going to check that trendweight.com .... it sounds interesting.

    I weight myself on Mondays and Fridays because I should drop a pound a week based on my diet and exercise.
