when should you weigh yourself

The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom but before eating or drinking anything. This time is preferred because your stomach is relatively empty, and it gives you the most consistent and accurate measurement. Weighing yourself at the same time each day or the same day each week helps track your progress more reliably. Regarding frequency, daily weigh-ins can be helpful for those committed to weight loss as it allows one to make small adjustments quickly and stay motivated. However, weekly weigh-ins can also be effective and might be better for those who find daily weigh-ins psychologically challenging. If you weigh weekly, Wednesday or Friday mornings are considered good days to get an accurate midweek or end-of-week measurement. Additional tips for accurate weighing include using the same scale placed on a hard flat surface, wearing minimal or similar clothing each time, and standing still with balanced weight distribution on both feet.
