Weigh-in

First thing in the morning! And I personally think Friday morning is a good time

I usually weigh once a week (usually on Sundays) first thing in the morning, as we tend to weigh a little heavier in the evenings due to water retention etc.

I always go for morning, before eating and after 'using the bathroom', preferrably naked. What you see on the scale is a combination of your body and everything in and on it right then. I want to see a number that represents 'me' and not so much 'everything else' if possible. :-) I weigh almost every day but I know a lot of people are not a big fan of weighing so often. I think it just depends on the person. Some prefer to weigh about once a week and see a nice big change in the numbers, some, like me, are motivated by seeing even a tiny change day-to-day. The thing about weighing daily though is that sometimes you won't see a drop at all or will even see a bigger number for a few days. I take heart in knowing that in a couple of days, my scale normally catches up to where I knew it should have been the whole time. I have been losing around 1 lb every 4 days but sometimes for 3 days it won't move at all, then all of a sudden on the 4th day it is down a lb from my previous lowest recorded weight. I only write down the weights that are lower than the previous one, I don't count the days that the scale is up for whatever reason when I *know* I've been doing everything I'm supposed to do. I just find it fascinating to watch the numbers change. :-)

Some weigh before the weekend because they aren't as "good" over the weekend. I personally weigh on Sunday morning because Sunday is my cheat day, so I weigh right before that. So if you have cheat days, I would weigh either the day before or the morning of that way the "bad" food isn't altering your weigh in. I suggest morning because your weigh fluctuates so much during the day. Same time of day is best no matter when you do it, so if it's easier to weigh in the evening, that's fine. Just make sure to weigh at that same time each week to be more accurate.

I used to have my 'official' weigh ins on Monday mornings hoping it would deter me from indulging too much on the weekends. That was not always the case though so in order to keep my spirits up, my 'official' weigh in days are Friday mornings.

I also weigh myself once a day, I really don't see it as a bad habit as everyone else does. It helps me know where I'm heading, either up or down.It motivates me to do better if I see the scale start to climb back up and reinforces my good efforts if it's going down. I don't take the numbers I see everyday seriously, there more of a marker of how I'm doing. I only count my Friday weight.

i weigh myself daily before breakfast and after taking a bath.I wear only an underwear while taking weight.
