what time during the day should you weigh yourself?

I'm doing weightwatchers online and I weigh myself once a week at the gym. I've heard that you should weigh yourself in the morning....is this true?

Yes, it is always more accurate when you weigh yourself in the morning, before you eat anything. Also, if you weight yourself with clothes on, it could easily add on a few pounds.

me too!

I have noticed that if I weight myself then take a shower, I usually weigh a pound or two less after the shower.... go figure. (BTW...I count the first weigh in)

If your doing WW I think the best thing is to weight yourself at the same time each time. Mornings are usually the best before you eat that way your not retaining any water or bloated.

Your exact weight is when you weight yourself after you pee first think in the AM and take all clothing off and step on the scale.

But if you are doing WW and you weigh in at say 2pm (the online version or meetings version) then always try to weigh yourself the same time every week for an accurate weight loss reading.
