My opinion on this one is that you get a better accuracy in the mornings because you've slept and not eaten or drinking anything. Just make sure to potty before weighing. 

I've always learned to: not weigh everyday. weigh 1 time a week on the same day/time each week. like emilygu i like to weigh 1st thing in morning after i potty. also if you've been working out and strength training, you've been building muscle; and muscle weighs more than fat. and lastly, try to also go by how your clothes are fitting. do they fit better and/or not so tight? if so, you know you are losing weight. but dont give up. 💪👍☺💗🙏 

Sounds good!!! That sounds how I've been doing it. I've def noticed more in my clothes than the scale. I'll be honest, I've been a little scale crazy. i need to stop! Then.. i don't even believe the scale if it's a drop in weight. I second guess everything. 

I weight myself every morning & evening but I only record my morning naked weight. 😜 I can usually get an idea what my morning weight will be by what my evening weight is telling me. When I go long periods of not weighing myself is when I really start to screw up. The more "in tune" I am with my body helps me to stay on track. 

The scale is your friend because it keeps you informed. Weighing at night is all wrong. Weigh in the morning after a poop.  

I love that we all can agree.. a weigh in after a good poop is key :D hahahaha 

I agree that the scale does do one thing...it makes you take your head out of the sand 

I always weigh in the morning 

Ditto in the mornings after a poop and naked.  

In the morning before drinking or eating and after peeing. 

Wearing the same thing. 

The scale is only part of the equation. I stopped weighting myself everyday because I don't want to stress about it. 

My scale is up, down, up, down. I saw my doctor for blood work on Monday, and all my numbers (cholesterol, blood glucose, etc) are down from the last time I saw her, well within "healthy" parameters. Additionally, my clothes are much looser. And yet I find myself staring at my bathroom scale, WILLING it to show a smaller number. You and I need to learn to accentuate the positive, like the song says. 

You speak Truth!!!! @EFudd 

Morning is better because the food you ate isn't being weighed also because it digested so it's more accurate 

I don't stress about weighing every day (yes, morning), because I'm learning about my body. But I only record it once a week or so. I pretend I'm floating when I step on the scale, just for fun LOL.  

just go with it you earned it! Well done! 

Best time to weigh in: 1. in the morning 2. get some coffee without sugar. 3. after entering bath. (will differ by 1kg btw) At this time the result will be accurate. 

How much does the camera weigh? :-) 

hahahaa.. i made my husband take the picture. I wasn't trying to add any extra weight. ;) @Charades
