When is the most accurate time to weigh yourself??

Early morning. Before you eat. After you use the restroom. Naked, or with as few clothes as possible. Also. I would pick one day a week and weigh yourself on that day. Weighing yourself everyday is frustrating and there will be too many fluctuations.

I weigh first thing in the morning, naked, after peeing.

same here!

I weigh myself in the morning, after I go potty, and always in my birthday suit.

same time on the same day of the week naked or at least with the same clothes on every week

I weigh myself every Saturday morning, after going to the bathroom, bare assed naked and before I eat or drink anything. I try to stick to weighing ONLY ONCE a weel because of fluctuations which can be frustrating. Also remember that the weight that you are at home will be less than at the Doc's office if you are doing it naked at home etc...

I usually weight about 3-5 pounds more at the Doctor's office than I do at home.

Absolutely agree to all!

I was told the most accurate way to weigh in is to do it every morning, after your first urination/bowel movement, and in your birthday suit.

I weigh in each morning after using the washroom, in a tank top and light shorts. Not necessarily at the same time each morning, but always first thing when I wake up. Weighing yourself throughout the day (sometimes I do just to see!) is not accurate as your weight can fluctuate a few pounds throughout the day. Morning is always best.

I am like everyone else and weigh in the morning after peeing...... however that is so that I get the lowest weight possible. Really as long as you weigh at the same time everyday it doesn't matter, it will show accurate loss. And while I too weigh with as few clothes as possible on..... you are never going to go to the gym or doctors and strip naked to weigh in LOL

I do agree with only weighing once a week..... although i don't stick to that very often.... it is frustrating to see the daily fluctuations!

good luck

Like most of you I also weigh myself in the morning before I eat or drink anything and before I exercise. Unlike most everyone else, I weigh and record my weight on a daily basis. This probably doesn't fit everyone's personality but it does fit mine. The daily fluctuations don't bother me. I know they're going to happen and it gives me quick feedback if I've cheated a bit. More than daily swings, I look for weekly trends. How does this Monday compare to last Monday and so on. Wednesday is my "official" weigh in date to record my weight for tracking purposes. I tend to cheat more on weekends and eat properly during the week and I can see this fluctuation because I weigh daily. Wednesday just seems to be the day that fit between the two extremes.

Also, if you have a scale that measures body fat it is my understanding this will be more accurate if you weigh later in the day when you are hydrated. If you're tracking body fat on a regular basis you're probably more interested in the direction it is moving so it might not matter but my body fat can measure 3-4% lower in the evening than in the morning.

i have been doing this for over 6 years and I weigh daily. You have to keep in mind that tons of things can affect your weight from day to day but if you weigh every day and the scale is consistently moving up every day and you know you have not been eating right than it can be a powerful motivator to get it under control. If you have been doing everything right and the scale moves up it can be valuable information as to what affects your weight, i.e., did you have very salty foods, did you eat late at night, etc. doesnt' really matter but makes you more in tune with your body and keeps you aware.

That's my problem!!! My pj's must weigh like 20lbs!!!
I'm glad to know that most of you weigh yourself once a week at the same time like I do. I think if I weighed in more than once a week, my scale would have been thrown out by now!
Congrats on crushing that 200 number - go on with your happy dance! :happy:
