When do you weigh yourself?

On Wednesday morning just after I get up and go to the bathroom. Why not Monday - I eat Sunday lunch at my mother in laws and she cooks with lots of salt. Monday's weight is always up.

Morning, I wait about 1/2 hour after I get up and in the buff.

Once a week on Tuesdays so that's tomorrow. More often than that and I would drive myself crazy.

I jump on the scale Thursday mornings before breakfast and showering. I do weigh myself other times throughout the week but I only log the number from Thursday mornings. I have weighed myself before and after going number 2, it's kind of funny to see that 2 pound weight loss from time to time. :laugh:

I"m a nurse at a local hospital and we tell our patients to weight themselves first thing in the morning once you get out of bed, after you urinate, naked!

nothing to do with topic but love your pic Joslin2005

only about every time i walk through my bathroom; but i don't count it until a specific day of the week in the morning

I'm the same way. I know they say that you should only weigh once a week but I can't help myself!

Thought I was the only one that did that? Lol. I have been very bad in the past by weighing every morning, after I eat breakfast, after a workout, and on and on. I have learned that if you follow your workout plan and log your food, the pounds will come off. Most people recommend you weigh 1x a week just to track your progress. Weighing too often can discourage you. I weigh each day only to make sure I am staying on track. If i pick up a pound or 2, it does not freak me out because I know it will come off soon. I am more scared to not weigh for a week and realize I have picked up 5lbs.

I guess I better buy a scale if I ever want my ticker to move.

when I had a scale it'd be the same as posted here: in the morning- after bathroom necesities and before breakfast..
though if I am going to tel peple I weigh X amount, I should really wigh myself in the middle of the day- when people see me.

Monday morning, norm right when I get up, then about 20-30 mins later. The scale reads the same both times then it is what it is.

That's what I do. :flowerforyou:

In the am on thurs mornings officially......but I'm at a point where I can weigh myself anytime of day everyday and not care what it reads since I stay the same size consistantly (according to my clothing) regardless of the number I see.

It is fun to weigh yourself though before and after a pee or poop though......lol

I weight myself in the morning at roughly the same time. I record all of my daily weights and divide it by 7 to get an average weekly weight and that's what I track and base my goals upon. I think that going by a once a week weigh in is not accurate enough with how much you change your weight in seven days.

You should weigh yourself 6 or 7 times a day, and do a weighted average (no pun intended) based on the lunar cycle (when the moon is full, its gravitational pull is more pronounced, so you weigh slightly more). Then record this every week and average it out - that's what you should put down.

Sound crazy? It is. Just weigh yourself once a week, in the morning (empty bladder) and call it done.

I weigh myself every other Saturday and I weigh myself in the morning before I start my day.
