When is the best time to weigh yourself?

At a time you can replicate the same conditions, ie: undressed, fasted. So first thing in the morning for example.

Morning

Yes, first thing in the morning, post pee. Easiest to do it naked then and informs you for the day. (Curiously I have tried after breakfast and, ahem, other evacuations and it comes out exactly the same)

Ha thanks, I've tried at all different times too, sometimes it makes you feel better when you're a lb lighter that you were in the morning when you haven't exercised haha.

It does - I made a much wanted three month goal that way once!

Hi funrunner,

Completely agree with the above. The human body goes up and down in weight during the day by quite an amount actually, as you eat/drink, dispose of waste, and a myriad of chemical and biological processes go on inside it.

One word of warning - don't take any one weight too seriously - you're looking at the averaged out trend.

And do make sure you're using your scales on a hard level surface and you have zero'd them properly.

Good luck with your weight loss efforts.
