weigh-in day. what's best?

When I weigh (I try to limit it to once a month), I do it on Saturday morning. I find I do much better Mon-Fri with healthy food choices than I do on the weekends, so the scale is kinder before the weekend begins.

I used to weigh in Sunday mornings, but I find Friday mornings works better for me.

I've just changed my weigh in day to a Friday morning am before breakfast. Friday night is treat night for our family so I want to feel encouraged when I step on the scales, knowing I've done well all week, rather than get weighed on a Saturday knowing what I've eaten the night before!

We started with Monday as our official weigh-in day but have switched to Friday as soon as we get up. Hubby prefers Friday as it gives him plenty of time then to work off any over-indulgences of the weekend

You are weighing for comparative purposes yes? To see weight change one week to the next? In which case it doesn't matter what day it is, only that you weigh under the same conditions.

So for myself I compare week on week on a Friday which is always day 6 of my week (Saturdays are an off diet day), I follow the same moderate carb diet during those 6 days, week in week out and follow broadly the same exercise routine. Therefore Friday morning, after rising and toilet I am measuring under the same circumstances so it's a good comparative measure.

Sunday's would be useless for me since some Saturdays (my off day) I'll eat 2500 cals and others I'll eat 4000. The carb and water loading effects there would alter my weight by 2kgs, so impossible to compare.

So my opinion is you should pick any day where the week on week routine is the same. So if your Thursdays always follows a Tuesday and Wednesday where you've eaten approx same, done the same workout then you should be good.

Hope that makes sense, msg me if not.

My "official" weigh in day is Friday morning. It's normally when i'm at my lowest b/c I've worked hard all week and I typically allow myself the weekend to enjoy a few drinks, so by weighing Friday I have all week to work those off. :drinker:

I weigh in on a Friday morning, and try to be good up until friday night - this allows me 2 nights max to sensibly enjoy myself, and then have 5 days to work to get rid of it - i find if i dont haev my wee treats, i binge and undo all my weeks of hard work in one go

I do Saturday mornings since I do super all week! And it keeps me focused all weekend

Hi I weighin on a Wednesday morning it sort of gives you a chance to burn off the weekend but not too much so I don't go mad eating on the weekend! I use to weigh Monday's but found it too restrictive might change it to a Friday but will see how Wednesday's go for now.

Mine is either Friday or Saturday for two reasons: firstly because I generally eat more at the weekends, and secondly because I usually have a rest day either Thursday or Friday and I ONLY weigh in after a rest day. Why? Because sore muscles weigh more!
