Morning runners question

I always weigh in first thing in the morning...Get up out of bed, use bathroom and weigh myself...then I go and start my morning...coffee, is always first on that list!

Weigh in when it works for you...but I know I don't always drink the same amount of water on a run, or run/sweat the same amount each day, so those fluctuations will reflect on a scale for me...

Since I don't have a scale at the moment (need to do that soon) I have been running to my gym before I weigh in for like a year. It's 1.5 miles away, so I'm not too hot or sweaty by then, and I haven't had any water yet but I have had my cereal. Since I've been consistent I think it's fine, but I'm starting P90X next week and will not be going to the gym... I really need a scale at home!!!

I like to weigh in naked so i usually wait until right before my post-run shower (since i typically sleep in my run clothes to save time in the mornings lol). i also don't hydrate too much before my run and i sweat a lot so i feel like that evens itself out. I also don't eat too much before i run because i usually only do 3 miles or so, if i'm running longer i'll have some bread with a little peanut butter or something small like that. Usually i eat enough the night before that i'm not hungry in the morning until post-workout. Plus i like to save as much time in the morning as possible, it's literally roll out of bed grab gym bag and hit the road!

Do you weigh in before you run? This morning was my first morning run and although I'd rather wait till after so I can get out the door and since running help 'get everything moving', I'd like to hydrate prior to going and maybe get a little snack. Given I didn't go too far today but when I do I know I'll need something in my system. Then again I know the best time to weigh is first thing in the morning with nothing in your system. Help?

Weigh whenever you like. It's really only a matter of a few ounces one way or the other, which fluctuates daily, anyway. You'll be tracking your weight week-by-week, over time, right? It will all average out.

I weigh as soon as I've had my morning pee, before eating or drinking anything, but that's just how I do it. It doesn't really matter.

I agree that it really shouldn't matter. I have weighed myself before and after a 6 mile run (sweated a ton) and there was only a half pound difference between the 2 weigh ins.

Sometimes. I am curious to see what I lost in terms of water,etc. I use the pre-run weight to record my weekly results however as I don't run daily - that would give me skewed results. (tempting as it may be)
