    Friday morning for me - I indulge on the weekends generally so Monday would be a sad day indeed to document my efforts!

    Monday, because it is the start of the work week.

    When I started I chose Monday morning because I thought it might help me stay on track during the weekend and it actually did.

    Sunday mornings - after the usual morning routine, but before breakfast and coffee. It's my quietest, least stressful morning.

    Hi, I am new to this site and would like to say that I weigh myself daily but the official weight I use is the one from my Tuesday Morning TOPS group.

    I'm with the Wednesday group!
    Enough time to lose water weight from the weekend and have worked out sufficient days.

    As a daily weigher, I can say that there's typically a trend down through the week with Friday and Saturday being the lowest for the week, and a spike back up for Mondays. Particularly true these last few weeks between various family birthdays, a bachelor party, etc.

    There's been a 5 lb drop from Monday to Saturday each of the past two weeks.

    Monday as it keeps me focused over the weekend, and makes me think twice about any weekend treats.

    Friday morning. I am much more likely to overindulge or eat out and retain water from extra salt during the weekend, which for me starts on Friday.

    That was the day I started restricting calories to lose weight and charted my starting weight. So I weigh the same day each week.

    I weigh daily but only record Sunday morning. I take one particular supplement that is very effective for a medical condition I have but it causes some side effects including fluid retention. Each week, I have to rest from it by reducing it for half a day and then not taking it the next day so my body can deal with it all. I record my weight the following morning.
    I weigh everyday to keep an eye out for any sudden increase due to fluid retention just in case.
    I then have Sunday as my naughty diet day.

    I go to the gym M-F so I weigh in on Friday after my last workout of the week. Then I take a two day vacay and start again on Monday!

    When I started I weighed on Wednesdays because that was the day I began. Now that I weigh every day I still only record Wednesday on here and everything else in Happy Scale. Also, not having a social life makes the Saturday and Sunday weigh-ins much more bearable. :)

    I've always weighed in on Monday, but after reading all these comments I think I'll start weighing in on Friday's! It does make a lot more sense lol

    I tend to lose control on the weekend so I weigh in on Monday morning. That way I have more accountability and reason to watch my intake over the weekend.

    I weigh daily, but only record on Tuesdays.
    I picked Tuesday because I tend to eat saltier on the weekends and I shed the water weight on Monday.

    Saturday - I’m active in a Maintenance accountability thread on the forums and the check in weekly date is set to a weekend date, so I just kinda fell into that as my routine lately.

    I weigh daily, but I also record my weekly weight in a separate spreadsheet. I didn't really 'choose' the day; that's just the day when I suddenly decided I'd had it with being fat and started my new regime.

    I weigh in on Fridays because Saturday is my refeed day. I may gain a pound the following day but by the end of the week I’m back down and lose more weight.
