So I was wondering is it better to weigh yourself after you shower or before or does it even matter.

    Best thing is waking up, using the bathroom, stripping down and weighing. Some do once a week, some more often and some way less. I am a daily weigher (helps me not freak out when my TOM or ovulation is coming and the bloating/retention kicks my numbers up).

    Your lowest weight will be in the morning after peeing. Weigh yourself before you sleep for a detail stats how your weight fluctuates between night and day. I like to keep my morning and night weight by a difference no more than 3lbs.

    I weigh before shower simply because I have long, thick hair that can hold upwards of a pound of water. Get up, pee, weigh, shower.

    Weighing myself first thing is not for me. I tend to weigh less after I have woken up and been awake about 4 hours.... it's weird I know..... I'm a daily weigher too. I can weigh 3-5 pounds more in the morning when I first wake up.

    I weigh in the morning right after I pee and before I eat or drink anything. I also like to weigh at night before I go to bed to play the game of "how much will I weigh in the morning". I seem to lose three-ish pounds overnight.

    I weigh in the morning at the same time twice a week right after I use the toilet but before I eat, drink, shower or dress.
    As long as you are consistant as to conditions it probably will not make much of a difference.

    You'll need a duck to find out if you're made of wood.

    I visualize what I want the scale to say. As an aide, I write the number in my mind down on a piece of tape. Then I stick it over the scale, and step on.

    On a scale, naked, first thing in the morning, after you've done your potty business, before you eat or drink anything. This will give you the most consistent and reliable numbers.

    I weigh myself in the morning and accept that as "my actual weight". Then I weigh myself an hour later using a different "photo" in my head and accept that as my actual "alternative" weight.

    it honestly makes NO difference what time you are weighing yourself or what you're wearing. just make sure you weigh at the same time and wear similar clothing (or none) every day you weigh.

    As long as you do the same thing everytime you should be fine. I get up exercise (gym or running), have breakfast then weigh myself just before the shower - officially once a week, but often daily

    I weigh myself in the shower while I'm peeing.
