Is there a time of day that you weigh yourself? and how often do you do weigh ins?

  • I weigh myself usually once a week on sat and it's before lunch or dinner. I try to do my measurements every other week.

    This is probably terrible, but I weigh myself every single morning, naked, after I have used the bathroom.

    I usually - started a few months ago - weigh myself every Sunday, since it's the beginning of the week. It keeps me motivated to do well during the week.
  • I weigh myself everyday in the morning so I can see the gradual change, understand my body's fluctuations, and not have to get on the scale with my fingers crossed. I couldn't do weekly. :/ Some people can.

    Add: Plus, weighing myself everyday keeps me motivated through the day. If I did it every week, I'd probably only stay motivated for the first few days then not pay attention those last few days. I just know me too well and will slack if I don't have something keeping me going. X__x

    Every Tuesday morning for me. Although, I'm considering changing it to every other Tuesday.

    I officially weigh in on Sundays, but.... usually weigh once or twice a day just for the heck of it...

    Every Saturday morning after using the restroom. Weigh in naked (except for my ring) on the Wii.

    I can't imagine not weighing myself daily, but I think the majority of the people on MFP do weekly or every other week.

    I weigh myself every Wednesday before Lunch. I don't know why. I guess since I weighed myself for the first time on that day around the time, I decided to continue on with it. Sunday makes more sense though. I try to fight the urge to weigh myself everyday that's why I didn't buy my own scale.
