Do you weigh morning or evening,

With or without clothes

Does anyone else measure inches lost?

I don’t think it matters at all, as long as you’re consistent. So if you do it dressed, maybe try to wear the same clothes every week. And whatever time of day, keep it the same each week. (I weigh first thing in the morning because my end of day weight is too variable depending on what I’ve eaten, etc)

Hi Dj9ao

We post the weigh ins every morning so just pick a day and stay with that day every week. It is up to you weather you weigh with clothes on or not but if you wear clothes try to wear the same each time. Measuring with the tape measure is brilliant for those weeks when the scales don't move and can be very motivating to see the inches disappear.

I weigh in the morning after going to loo. They say this is the time you weigh the least. During the day you can be 2 or 3 lbs more. But you have to stick to the same time every week.

I always weigh in first thing in the morning with no clothes on, I have ibs so my stomach can get quite swollen some days and its too variable to it any other time. I do sometimes weigh myself in the evening just to see, but I take note of only my morning weight :)

As soon as I get up, before getting dressed - no point weighing yourself later in the day when you weigh more! If I've lost weight, I start the day off feeling good; and if I have put it on, at least I know about it and can make sure I do better and don't snack too much, so things improve tomorrow ...

I weigh in the morning.

Measuring inches lost I do regularly (probably too much!) but it's a useful encouragement when the scales don't register a loss! :)

I always weigh myself in the morning and with nothing on. I also measure my inches every four weeks. Hope this helps.

I weigh myself every Tuesday morning in the buff, and before my shower. I haven't tried the tape measure, I just wait for my clothes to fall round my ankles!!! ;)
