What day do you weigh in?

I have found that making my weigh in day on Monday mornings has been keeping me honest throughout the weekend. For a couple months I was making my weigh in on Friday mornings so I could splurg a little on the weekends and have time throughout the week to get any water retention off, but now I am more serious about finally getting this weight off and done making excuses and cheating myself.

Just curious what days most people weigh in on. Monday mornings for me because it keeps me honest through the weekend.

    I weigh on Friday.

    I used to weigh in on Monday, but use the weekend to eat up and leftover calories from the week (usually with beer), so I found myself a bit bloated on Mondays, giving me an artificially high reading. For me, this isn't about restriction, it's about making permanent changes to my eating habits. I didn't want to punish myself for enjoying my weekends.

    This. I still want to enjoy and indulge in foods I like. I'm just learning to eat a little less of them. :) So I am for weigh ins on Fridays and if I "mess up" a little on the weekend then I have all week to get myself back on track.

    I weigh everyday but my "weigh in" day is Sunday which I use as a benchmark. This way, I keep things in check on Saturday and have Sunday to splurge a little

    I don't have a specific day when I weight, but since I decided to start again with a serious diet I think I'll make Monday my weight in day :)

    I weigh every day and use the number only as an indicator of whereI need to adjust in my eating plan...

    If my weight is up from the day before I check back one week to ensure I am down in the last 7 days.

    I weigh in Sunday morning, Sunday is also my cheat meal day so I have a whole week before I weigh in again so I should be able to repair any damage haha.

    I weigh in on Mondays.

    This weeks me more watchful on the weekend to not blow it. Then I have a be more watchful so i can log a good loss. If I blow it- I don't get to... It helps keep me focused and not cheat on the weekends. I know if i did cheat on teh weekends-it's be a HUGE cheat and not a tiny one and I'd blow a whole week! This helps me a lot.

    This exactly. If I go crazy on the weekends, it usually takes me a full week to get back under control. Probably why I have had a weight problem my entire life.

    I weigh in every monday morning, as soon as i get out of bed. Also, i have my cheat meals on Saturdays instead of Sundays, because it gives me a day to rid myself of water retention for when i eat salty foods, and it won't affect my Monday weigh-ins.

    Tuesdays lol Only because I knew if I put it off until the next Monday, I never would have started.

    Sunday mornings.
    This keeps me very honest Saturday, flexible during the week, but allows for a little cheating on Sunday.
    Helps me plan the meals for the next week.
