Just curious - when do most people weigh in .... weigh in at the beginning of the week or end of the week??

    Sunday morning for me. Helps me to stay focused over the weekend.

    Saturday. But it doesn't matter when, so long as you're consistent.

    I weigh daily but that's because I like to track the fluctuations on an app. Before I started doing that I would weigh once a week.

    Everyday. It helps me stay focused and seeing all the fluctuations stops me from being to obsessed with the number. If I waited all week and then flukes on a high number day or worse yet did that twice in a row, I'd be tempted to throw in the towel. A weight trending app is helpful to see the direction your weight is moving in and at what rate.

    I weigh everyday but I record it once a week. I was curious as to when people actually record their weight. I am consistent by 'officially' record a once a week weight!

    Still everyday so the app can average it out accurately

    I weigh daily (and log in another program), but my "official" weigh-in day that gets logged here is Friday.

    I work with my trainer on Fridays at 6:00 AM so that's my official weekly weigh-in

    I weigh and sync with Happy Scale daily, but I record my weight on MFP every Sunday.

    I weigh in Wednesdays, but do measurements on Sundays. Just to stay on point and get happy surprises, or not so happy reminders to stay on track.

    I weigh in on Sundays. I find it helps keep me focussed on the weekends.

    Daily unless I forget, or eat or drink by mistake, or my wake up time is too far off (I have irregular hours). Use trendweight.com to derive meaning.

    If you chose to use a single day you should probably pick one where your chance for water retention is minimized. For most people that would be Wednesday or Friday morning as less likely to have eaten out the previous 2 days.

    I weigh twice a week. Once on Monday, which is my 'official' weigh-in and once on Wednesday or Thursday, to check my progress and see if I need to loosen/tighten my logging. Every other Monday, I'll also check my measurements.

    Daily in the AM. Then on Fridays I take my lowest weight for the week and log that here.
