Weighing at different times of day

I weigh myself at the same time every day on the same scale (usually). Every scale is different, so to pin point which one is right is impossible. I recommend just weighing yourself on the same scale at the same time and only use that weight. And when doing "weigh-ins", use one day of the week and stick with it.

I weigh myself everyday, sometimes more than once, but then again Im an Obsessive Weigher hehe but for my weekly weigh ins, I weigh in Sundays right after I wake up after potty time.

They could both be correct, I weighed myself before going to bed last night and I was 2 llb heavier than I am this morning. So a 3lb difference during the day is nothing, which is why for tracking your weight loss it's best to stick to one scale at the same time each week.

I weigh myself first thing in the morning as soon as I have been to the toilet! It's not my lightest time but it gives an indication. I did an experiment last year which really helped me put the number on the scales into perspective - I weighed myself several times a day for a week and the results were very interesting. Often I gained 2-5lbs overnight with my 'lightest' time being the middle of the day, even after eating breakfast and lunch! Cardio exercise makes no difference tomy weight however much I sweat (some people lose 2-3lbs in an hours run.). I can also gain weight within an hour even without eating or drinking anything.

So it made me much less focussed on the reading on the scales every morning and now I just use it as an indication of what's happening. So long as the trend is generally down, I know that MFP is working!!

the morning one is right, you only weigh heavier later on in the day because of water and food weight but once you have been to the toilet that will go. just stick to weighing yourself in the morning.
