I don't remember who said it, but I think it's odd that you're supposed to "weigh yourself everyday if you are maintaining and once a week if you are trying to lose"! Almost seems backwards to me! I've weighed myself several times a day for as long as I can remember...

I also had another reason for posting this thread... it might seem kinda gross to others It has to do with constipation and the Miralax that I take for it (dietitian recommended). See, the thing is... it doesn't "kick in" until later on in the morning, usually after I've done my first weigh-in. So should I wait until the Miralax kicks in and then weigh myself? When I weigh-in at that time, I'm about 2 lbs. lighter. I kinda don't like weighing myself when I'm all constipated... Sorry for being yucky!

Hello!

I think I'm going to try weighing myself various times of day and see what's what. We'll see.

Jacque9999,
I usually weigh myself with nothing on just to be sure it's a true weight! Well, most of the time anyway. I guess my first thing in the morning weight is the best one, the one that I do before I've had anything to eat and everything. I just wonder about it being lower later in the day and if I should count the higher weight or the lower one as my "official" weight for the day.

I weigh myself first thing in the morning, after going pee , usually in a t-shirt and underwear.

I like to weigh in everyday....I know that weight can fluctuate due to different factors, so I don't beat myself up if the scale is up by .5 pound or even 1 pound, if I know that I've eaten well and exercised. I like the 'numbers' part of weight loss, so it's important to me to know where I stand weight-wise. And, whether my weight is up or down, I try to use it as a motivational factor....if I'm down, I want to keep up the good work, and if my weight is up, I want to work even harder to make sure that my weight is down the next day!

I weigh myself in my in the morning with no clothes after I have used the bathroom and before I eat anything and usually the next day after I have had a hair cut!

Today i weighed myself, as I have done almost every day this week, in the morning, after my morning routine, naked, tossing salt over my shoulder, spinning around four times, doing a ritual and sacrificing a jellay donut by the power of Greyskull, and then....stepping on the scale.

Seriously, whatever works for you is key.
