When do you weigh in?
 
This has always been kind of one sided for me. I always choose to weigh in on Wednesdays, as soon as I go to the bathroom. I think this is the best way to show when there isn't really nothing in your stomach. But in reality, you most likely will never not have the food like you do in the mornings so it's all the more confusing for me. Any input?

I weigh in Saturday mornings, prior to the meeting, keeps me on track Friday night, and lets me let a little loose Saturday night if need be!

I weigh in in the mornings as well. I will probably do so on Wednesdays too, just because I have to be up early for class so it's one of those days when I can always weigh in around the same time.

I assume you want to know your body's weight not the food, right? But beyond the food, the amount of water in your body goes up and down rapidly. So I think getting hung up on the little variations is a problem. It helps to remember that one cup of water is about 1/2 a pound.

My weigh-in is on Saturday morning. I am surprised at the positive psychological impact this has had on me.

I weigh in officially on Sunday morning, but check the scale twice a week just to keep me focused

I weigh in Monday evenings...it lets me know just how good I have to be for the week :-)

I weigh in on Wednesday mornings. So far it's worked really well for me. I like it.

Friday mornings for me. I always use all my flex over the weekends so I like to wi on fridays so they roll over and then I get back to daily pts on monday. Has been working well for me so far. And yes I always use the bathroom too before hand so I can get my real weight even though I know as soon as I eat breakfast it changes, lol.. it's a mental thing for me, lol

For me, it's Saturday mornings, after I potty, wearing only my birthday suit. :)

I weigh in Monday afternoons. I actually hate this time because I swear it is my heaviest time all week but I really like the leader and the group. And heck, in the end it is the long run not the day of weigh in that is important to me.

I started WW on a Wednesday, so that's always been my weigh in day. I weigh in at 8 am, after I've been up a few hours, in case I have to "go" again. It can make a difference, lol.

I weigh in on Fridays after I use the toilet and before I hop in the shower. I keep my digital scale next to the shower. I like Fridays because like spryng I use the majority of my flex points over the weekend and start fresh on Monday.

I weigh in on Monday mornings, right after I get up. (I also take a few sneak peeks throughout the week.) Any weekend indulgences show up, but the overall number is still going down so that makes me happy.

I weigh in Wednesday evenings because that's when I can make it to meetings. It never occurred to me that the day/time of day would make a huge difference.

i don't know if it makes a difference for everyone, but it does for me. i've been know to weigh myself more than once a day, and i typically weigh a couple pounds more in the evening than i did that morning. (but it's always back down the next morning.)

i try (usually unsuccessfully) not to put too much pressure on what the scale says, because weight can fluctuate quite a bit because of water imbalances etc. if i go off plan for a while, especially if i'm not drinking much water, my weight goes up 3-5lbs. a couple days of eating and drinking right, it falls right back off.

and to answer the original question, my official weigh in at home is always in the morning after using the bathroom. empty stomach, no clothes.

I will be weighing in Wednesday evenings. My 1st weigh in is tomorrow night! :eek:

I weigh in on Wednesdays after work. That's the only meeting that's close to my house. Of course I do peek at the scale at home periodically just to see how I'm doing.

My weigh in day is Thursday.This is great for me because On Friday and Saturday I use some points on alcohol or "junk food"..I never go over my points but this schedule gives me plenty of days to "eat clean" and not have the sodium or bloating still there from the alcohol and/or junk.I weigh in at 7:30 at night and that bugs me because i'm afraid of drinking too much water the whole day.:cool:

I weigh in Mondays at noon right after a strength-training session. I have had breakfast and lots of water before WI. I've been surprised that I have lost every week.
