I have no clue if I put this in the right section but here goes.
I am wondering if anyone has noticed a certain time of day that you weigh the least. A lot of people say right when you wake up but for my I weigh the least at about 10-11am. It is very weird I can weigh myself at 7 or 8 am then step back on at 10 or 11 and weigh less. Then of course I weigh more at night. I don't generally weigh myself like that but I wanted to see what my pattern was.

For me, its right when I get up, but Doug gets up and has a wee, weighs himself, then has a shower and if he weighs himself again afterwards, he always weighs less after the shower. Its bizarre.

I usually weigh less after my morning shower too. I can weigh at night and sometimes weigh up to 5 pounds more than the morning!

I weigh less between 6-9am. I am heaviest in evening.
So...I weigh as soon as I get up.

I try not to weigh myself every day because I was way too obsessive with the scales. But...I do find that I weigh a little less when I've been awake for a few hours.

Seriously tho... the human body can have weight fluctuations of up to 5 pounds in a day! Don't drive yourself nuts over the ups and downs thru each day. Pick one time of day, and then pick one day per week. Weigh only at that time and day, and the rest of the time ... go take pictures of unsuspecting nekkid bandsters! It's much more fun! *evil grin*

I weigh in the morning after I have woken up and gone to the bathroom. If I weigh at night it is always 2 pounds lighter in the morning.

I wake up, go to the bathroom, then stumble over to the scale every morning. I always weigh less in the morning. I don't usually weigh at night though, unless I forgot that morning... which doesn't usually happen.
I know people say to weigh once a week, but me weighing myself every morning keeps me accountable.

I weigh first thing in the morning after I do #1 hehe and maybe sometimes #2. My weight tends to fluctuate 1 - 2lbs in the day. There were times where the weight would go up for 2 days straight, about 2lbs each time. That's why I used to weigh in 4 times per day to ensure I didn't go too far up but now, since 2 weeks before my tt surgery, I just weigh in barely once per week now. I know the weight is going down and I'm not soo worried anymore. I'm happy and thankful for that b/c I've got enough stresses in my life besides the damn scale, like Employer FUTA taxes, Employer Income Taxes, Employer Quarterly Fed Tax Return Forms, Schedule C's, Personal Income Tax. Lord save me for 2006 taxes. S*it is gonna cost me a pretty penny. Haha, anyway, enough rambling.
Back to our regularly scheduled program.

I'm a get up, bathroom then scale person too. That's the time I believe my scale. Have been known to check on and off at different times and my weight fluctuates through the day too so the morning weight is taken as the 'that's what I am' weight.

I'm a morning scale person, too. Emptied and nekkid. :eek: Usually about 2 lbs less than before going to bed. I love mornings. However, I *officially* record my weight only on monday mornings.

I did a little experiment this morning.
1. I weighed myself with my garments and clothes on
2. I weighed myself with nothing on
3. I weighed myself after a pee
4. I weighed myself after my morning shower
There was no weight change with the exception of my sweat pants and top removed 1lb. I weighed the same after a pee and the same after a shower.

Did you take pictures of this experiment, somehow it seems less scientific without photographic evidence of each step.

So, yeah, I weight the least in the morning. The really weird thing is that if I weigh again after a shower, it's a lb. more!!! Now, if I had long hair, that might make sense, but it's fairly short. Really really thick and coarse though. Maybe the follicles just suck up water ... like a cactus.:heh: :heh:

I also seem to weigh the least around 10-11:00 a.m. In fact, today I weighed when I first woke up (after I pee'd). I couldn't believe I hadn't lost any weight. I went to the kitchen to make breakfast around 10:00 a.m. and hopped on the scale again. I weighed 1.6 lbs less.
I get up, pee, get my coffee. I wait about 15 minutes, and every morning, I have a BM (it's awesome to be regular lol). I weigh immediately after.
I used to be a weigh-everyday girl, but since I started moving 3 weeks ago, I've only weighed once, and I think I'm less stressed out if I don't weigh every day. Gonna try to keep it to once a week.

I hit the bathroom, weigh myself and then hit the shower. When I come out of the shower (hair dried) then I weigh and I am ALWAYS lower - that's my once a week weigh-in IF I remember lol
(I like Sunday weigh-in better than mid-week but I am out the door for the little guy's bowling every week and forget sometimes so I jump on the next morning sometimes)
