I usually weigh myself at between 7-7:30 am. But tomorrow I gotta wake the fiancee up at 6am tomorrow.. So could I weigh myself 6-6:30am tomorrow.. will it make a difference? I don't wanna weigh myself and then it be totally different at next weigh in.. I want it to be accurate...

    It will still be accurate. I weigh myself every morning at 5:10 am when I wake up. Sometimes on my days off I sleep in and don't weight until 9am. Those days are sometimes (rarely) a little heavier (maybe 0.5lb at most) than the days I weigh early- but that might just be coincidence.

    The reason to weigh early in the day is because
    1) you haven't eaten yet
    2) you are soaking wet from a shower
    3) you have little to no clothes on to weigh you down

    so the weight you see is YOU instead of food/water from the day or heavy clothes/shoes.

    You should be fine. If you usually eat before 7am - and before you weigh in - then make sure you eat before you weigh in at 6am. Otherwise, it'll be accurate.

    As long as you have been to the bathroom or not, whichever you normally do, the difference will likely be less than a couple of ounces/50g.

    The most accurate/consistent time to weigh yourself is when you get out of bed in the morning, naked, after you have peed. When you do this than clothing are not a factor, how much you have eaten that day is not a factor and your hydration will be relativity consistent. The one hour you are asking about should not make any real difference.

    I weigh in whenever I wake up everyday.. varies from around 5AM to about 8 or 9AM (on weekends sometimes). I always just make sure I do my business in the bathroom before!!! Though on my weigh in days, it's usually on the earlier side bc I'm so excited (or nervous/anxious!) to weigh in so I'm up so early, ready to get that number haha.

    I also take off my pjs and just weigh in my undies! then usually put the pjs back on and climb back in bed for a little haha
