Question When to weigh myself? [Silly question, yes I know]

I weigh myself weekly, but when is the best time to of day to step on the scale? I was once told to weigh myself in morning before breakfast, becuase thats when your tummy is supposedly empty. But are stomachs ever empty?

Well?

Thanks in advance .

Get out of bed, go to the bathroom (pee), strip and step on the scale. If you do it the same way all the time you'll get the most reliable comparisons.

I agree with SusanB---Just be consistent with the same time all the time... and that is most apt to give you a true guideline.

Thirded. Wake, pee, strip naked, weigh, then do whatever it is you normally do to get ready for the day.

I am a bit different, I wake up, do a few things, and go pee about 30 minutes after I wake up and then weigh (naked of course).

I agree. Make sure you weigh yourself around the same time whether you weigh in daily or weekly. It will give you more accurate results.

I can't hold my pee in that long in the morning! LOL (sorry if TMI)

I do the same as everyone else...my weigh in days are on Tuesdays, and on those days I wake up, go pee, get ready for a shower, and weigh myself right before I hop in

Hee hee...

... and take off jewelry, and breathe out all the air in your lungs, and eat lots of fiber a few days before ( ), and step on the scale three times to get the lowest reading...



I don't do any of those... except the taking out jewelry part.

Modays, Wake up, pee, strip, weigh 3 times and go with the number that comes up twice. Even though.. my scale its always the same number all three times and its digital. Then depending on what it says I either smile at the scale or give it the finger. Whichever it deserves

heh, I also don't do weights the day before the weigh in.. and change weigh in day if I do. And I don't eat past 7pm the night before. Weighing yourself is an art!
