When do you weigh yourself?

Every 2 weeks, on a Sunday, right when I wake up. Between water weight and just random body fluctuations your weight can change by many (like 6) pounds in a day to day comparison, which can be quite disheartening.

STOP weighing yourself every day. If you cannot throw your scale out the window. Weigh once per week maximum in the mornings.

No way! I love weighing myself daily.

I weigh myself a lot. When I wake up, after I poop, before I go to bed. DAILY.

The fluctuations don't really bother me...I'm like my own science experiment. lol

I weigh myself about every 5 days/1 week. Occaisionally in between if i need reassurance, but I've only had a scale now for ~1 month. It's still novel.

Tuesday or Sunday -- depending on work and when "date night" with my hubby falls. Why not the same day? I find that I have to be up and moving for about 1-2 hours before I get an accurate read on the scale -- sometimes I feel puffy when I wake up -- and not to be gross, but I usually will have a bowel movement in that period of time. I try to avoid the scale the rest of the time. Sometimes I will be down and think "Oh hey I can eat..." if I am up, I get bummed (when it's most likely water).

First thing in the morning, after I wake up and "go" but before I shower (so yes, no clothes!). I do it before work on work days, whenever I remember to, which is most of the time now. If it's a day off and I've slept in, or if I was up really late the night before, I might not.

Yes, it's more often, but the key is that I accept that it's going to fluctuate, with the time of month and how much salt I had the night before and dozens of other factors, so I just look at the general trend and don't stress about each individual number. Sure, it's fun to see it go down, but it's no big tragedy if it goes up a little. In fact, sometimes it seems like I need that little push up in order to get out of a plateau and get moving down again....and I wouldn't know that if I didn't keep track! More information is rarely a bad thing.

Last time I was dieting, I weighed myself on the scale at work, at the end of the day. I always wear pretty much the same thing to work every day, so no variation there. I figure as long as you're consistent, the details aren't so important.

I don't understand this idea of recording only when you see a loss. My last plateau, I gained just a teeny bit and then stuck in place for two or three weeks. I didn't start losing again until after I had a splurge and gained a pound, then I was down maybe three pounds within a day or two. I'd rather *know* how things like that work. And if you're weighing yourself to see if you've lost, you already *know* whether you're up or down, why not put it on paper, so to speak? Otherwise who knows what tricks your mind plays on you?

My official "weigh in" day is a Monday morning though i do sometimes get on the scales on a Thursday morning just to see if it looks like my weight is going the right way :-)

Yep. Like the majority of you. I weigh in the a.m., after I potty, before I have coffee.

Friday or Saturday morning when I first wake up

I officially weigh in every Monday morning first thing after I've been to the loo. I weigh myself in my pj's aswell. Although I do also jump on the scales a few times during the week more to keep myself on track. I know I weigh 2-3lb more at the end of the day than I do first thing in the morning.

My wii fit has a different weight for me than my bathroom scales as well

Like many, I weigh in the morning, before food and coffee. I write it down every day, but my official weigh-in day is Friday. I like to see the fluctuations, especially if for some reason I'm up on Friday - it would (and did!) drive me crazy when I weighed once a week, had a great week, and gained or maintained on my weigh-in day. By weighing daily, I can see the fluctuations, and I better understand how my body works and why the scale isn't necessarily the best measure of success. Recently, since it's summer and no school, I've been weighing several times a day to get a handle on how my weight changes throughout the day - this is mostly in reaction to people I knew at WeightWatchers who would attend vastly different meeting times/days and then be disappointed (at evening weigh-ins) or very happy (at morning weigh-ins). I fluctuate 3-4 pounds during the day, and I'm convinced more than ever that a consistent time and day is crucial to keep the crazies away.

Having said that, I'll say that if you freak out at every little fluctuation, weighing every day/more than once a day is not a good choice. For me, it's about learning more about me and how my body works. YMMV.

wednesday evening because I go to slimming world

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.

Snap apart from it's me doing the cooking but tend not to use alot of salt
