What time do you weigh?
 
I know they say weigh in the morning, why is that? Just curious.

I weigh in when I get up in the morning after I use the restroom and move around a bit.

I'm sure answers will vary.

I weigh in the morning, as do most, because as you go about your day (drinking, eating, etc), the weight of those things you put into your body is added into the weight the scale gives you. So the morning weight tends to be more about what -you- weigh and less about what -you and the liter of water you just drank- weigh together.

If I'm weighing myself at home, it's first thing in the morning. I do my official weigh in at work (we have a medical scale) and that's usually around lunch time. I definitely go potty first though. :)

I like to weigh in the morning before I eat or drink anything. It seems that when I weigh later in the day, it's always a couple pounds higher.

Me; I like to weigh myself first thing when I wake up, right after a trip to the bathroom.

Morning here as well. I agree with animallover, I find the scale goes up a couple pounds if I weigh later in the day. I really don't know why, it just does!

Trix4u 08-29-2009 08:28 PM

That is what I was assuming, I weigh in the morning too before I eat or add anything into my body LOL

Morning!

Morning here, buck nekkid, right after potty but before breakfast. I'm not interested in how much my cheerios and bananas and blue jeans weigh!

Cape Breton Chick 08-29-2009 09:04 PM

I'm with you Windchime..LOL:D

CaptainKirk 08-29-2009 09:08 PM

Morning as well.

I do morning cuz during the day the amount of food you eat varies and by the time you are up in the morning your body has usually gone through at least an 8 hour fast :)

I also weigh in the morning, before breakfast, after the bathroom. I find that my pjs are light enough that they don't make an ounce of a difference if I weigh with them on or off. So I weigh with my pjs on. :)

FYI, I just calculated this right now, so I figured I'd share with you ladies.

1 Liter = 2.18 lb

1 Liter = 33 oz (a typical water bottle is 24 oz)

I found it interesting that drinking a bottle and a half of water will result in a 2lb gain. :)

Trix4u 08-29-2009 09:28 PM

Wow, that is interesting. This is exactly why I only believe what my scale says in the morning :)
