I from this point forward am only weighing myself in the evening buck naked. I have been weighing myself for two weeks daily several times. I can go from 251 to 259 within a 24 hour period. And yes these weights were even after some good movements.

    I am at my lightest when I first get up. I'd be at my heaviest in the evening.

    Same.

    But, whatever floats the OP's boat.

    Wouldn't matter if you weigh at night, weigh fluctuations don't care what time it is.

    i only log weight once a week.

    i generally step on the scale in the morning before ive had anything to eat.

    stepping on the scale at the end of the day makes me sad and say nasty things to the scale (even if i know its normal and will be gone in the morning LOLOLOL)

    So you're sounding like you have a sense of humor about the whole thing, but you do understand that any changes on the scale over the course of 24 hours don't tell you anything about your weight (fat) loss, right? Weigh once daily under the same circumstances and you will see a trend over the course of a week or two (with some fluctuations likely due to various factors), but multiple weigh-ins/day are useless.

    Yeah you have too at this point in my new way of eating. I am going to do the nightly weight but only update my progress on MFP weekly. I still need that kinda daily reminder if I see that scale hitting the upper 250's regularly that I need to go revisit my food journal.

    Once a week is fine- I'm doing that right now too- just be aware that one bad day of water retention can mask your progress for the week.

    Nothing wrong with daily weigh-ins, as long as a person is looking at trends over time and not day-to-day progress, which is too easily masked by a little extra sodium in the diet, water retention due to muscle repair after a workout, a woman's cycles, etc.

    I weigh once a week, around 6.30 pm on a Saturday because that is when I am lightest... I have usually had a rest day or two and I fast until evening.
