Is there a protocol to how we should weigh in. I noticed my weights are very different before and after exercise. Being consistent in how you weigh yourself would be best, but wondering if there was a criteria for the group to weighing in I didn’t know about. Thanks in advance💫

This is a great question. There is no criteria whatsoever, but there are several general practices, all left up to personal choice. I think most people aim for first thing in the morning before eating on the weigh-in day. Some people like to weigh in every day but then make an average for the week, on their chosen day. Some may be a bit more random but as long as the weight is on the right day, it can be before or after eating, exercise, whatever time works best.

I agree with you that there can be some rather large swings during any given day, so pick a time that works for you and stick with it for a while so that you see the progress in the most consistent way possible. There is also no shame in waiting a day after a wild indulgence to see if things can settle down a bit.

There is one thing that is clear no matter the method, though - if you are losing weight, even if it is uneven from week to week, the general trend will be losing. If you are hovering around the same weight for weeks on end, you are not. If you are gaining gradually over a few weeks, you are gaining. There is no timing than can change the longer trends.

In short - experiment! Try some different things, and see what works for you.
