Yes, Great question!!! Because depending on when I weigh myself, it's usually 3lbs more or less.

I always weigh myself first thing in the morning before getting in the shower.

first thing in the morning. once gravity and eating doesnt take effect! I would never weigh myself in the evening, it would depress me!

I weigh myself in the morning after I go to the bathroom- every little bit helps!

I was once told by a doctor you should only weigh yourself once a month, preferably the week after your period. This way you have a consistent reference point and won't get discouraged when you gain water weight before your period.

I have promised myself NOT to weigh more often than every two weeks. However, when I do weigh, I have found that if I give myself about ten minutes after I wake up, after going to the bathroom, too, for some reason I weigh LESS than when I just get up, go to the bathroom, and go straight to the scale! I told dh I think the weight gets better distributed with me being up a few minutes longer!!! LOL

I weigh myself first thing after the morning bathroom on monday's, right before getting dressed. Then after my bath, like I'm going to shrink or something!

I feel much better now! I have weighed myself in the morning and afternoon. So of course I had two different numbers. But I will take the morning weigh in, it is much less and shows me that I am doing well. I have lost 8 lbs., so I have 42 lbs to go. I was going to try one of those tickers but don't know how to get it.
