When do guys weigh your self, which you believe gives you your most accurate reading?

    I usually weigh myself first thing when I wake up.

    Morning time, before eat or drink anything but after you have gone to the restroom if possible!

    Before breakfast, but I drink two small cups of water while I do my business :p I cut off drinking at least two hours before bed, to sleep undisturbed, so I'm usually quite thirsty after not drinking for ten hours, and I don't want to wait till after I weigh. I feel "rehydrated" and believe the scale reading gets as "accurate" as possible with this "method". And I weigh every day, of course, and don't consider any reading "my weight" - but a range that I aim to stay within.

    I find that my daily lowest weight is in the afternoon when I get home from work, so that is when I weigh in.

    I like many others weigh first thing in the morning. What is important I think is to be consistent about when you weigh. I notice I weigh 2 lbs heavier In the evening that is why I like to weigh in the morning.

    After I wake up, use the bathroom and right before I step in the shower. This just works for me personally because I have time to just do usual routine before I leave for work.

    I think I need new scales! lol, sometimes I could be up to a kilo heavier than lighter first thing in the morning.
