What time of day do you weigh yourself?

What do you think is the best time and why?

    I've been told its first thing in the morning before food/water and after using the toilet.

    Personally unless your schedule changes a lot from week to week so long as it's at the same time every day/week that's fine for tracking weight loss for me so I do it as soon as I get to the gym.

    I weigh in the AM, after using the facilities, before eating or drinking anything. I figure it eliminates as many variables as possible.

    First thing in the morning naked and only weigh in once a week. My body always seems to gain on the 5th or 6th day of the week... no idea why. Then it drops back down by the end. So if I weigh every day I lose motivation. But once a week is great.

    Same as above, although I usually weight a half dozen times thoughout the day to note fluctuations due to intake, sodium/etc

    Really got tired of the fluctuations if I weighed myself too often. I now weigh and log myself on the 1st and the 15th of the month. Much less drama.

    Same as everyone else... In the morning, after I've peed and before eating. Only once a week.

    I don't really like doing it in the morning because I'd rather have some food in me, surprisingly.
    I usually do it at about 10 pm, always right before my workout.
    I keep the timing consistent day by day.

    Same time every day. Frequency depends on your tolerance for variances that are totally normal, but sometimes frustrating. I like daily, but don't get too high or too low unless a trend appears for 2 weeks or more. Bodies vary, nothing we can or should try to do about that.
