I was just wondering what time of day you should weigh yourself and take your measurements? Should I be doing this in the morning before I eat anything or at night after I have eaten all my meals?
I've done both before and noticed that my stomach is about an inch to 2 inches bigger after I have eaten all my meals & drank all my water for the day.
I know I have to be consistent with whatever I pick, just curious what others do.....

There really isn't a perfect time to take your measurements as your body weight will fluctuate during the day depending on diet & exercise. The key to taking accurate measurements is consistency, make sure you take your measurements at the same time each day you do them. So if today you weigh yourself at 9 am then the next time you weigh make sure it's at 9 am, etc.0
