Do you weigh yourself at night in addition to weighing in the morning? I have been, and I'm starting to think it's a bit counterproductive.

For instance, I weight one pound more than I did this morning so now I'm worried about what the scale will say tomorrow.

no, there's no point
it's best to do it once a day, same time, after voiding your bladder in the am

[reawnvam]

Right. Dr. S's protocol specifically says to do it first thing in the morning, after voiding and before eating or drinking. Your fluid balance fluctuates a lot during the day, so weighing at different times will only make you crazy!

you weigh more at night cos you have food and drink in your tummy! i do weigh at night though, but i know that I lose about 2lbs overnight so I roughly know what to expect on the scale in the morning

I only count the first morning post-pee weight.

But I am a scale junkie. On and off all day, before and after I pee! I am always surprised that I lose about a pound a pee! Lord knows I am taking in at least a pound of water between times though!! LOL!

i weigh everyday and every-night- i even made a spread sheet with the average and the difference between the 2 and an estimate of what tomorrows weight will actually be- so far everyday day it rotates-1 day ill weight more than i figured the next day ill weight less than i thought. I made it into a game- i know my average weight loss overnight is 1.8 lbs. I find it exciting, maybe a little nuts though

I do the same thing....So funny, but I like to have an idea if I am gonna be happy in the morning. Now the spread sheet.....hehehe. Glad to know I'm not the only one that's slightly nutty!

I did that. Once. I was up almost 1.5 kilos (3-4 pounds). NEVER. AGAIN.

I also tried an 'experiment' one morning and weighed myself after having my morning pot of tea. I was up .5 kilos (1 pound). WHAT? That's insane!!!

Now, I stick to the scale in the morning, after I go to the toilet and then not again til the following AM.

Off-topic.

I love anyone who drinks a pot of tea in the morning.

Why thank you! I do that most mornings and am most annoyed when I don't get to finish my tea before work.

I have missed my tea most of all. I drink it with milk and sugar, and skim milk sucks and stevia in tea sucks! I will be so glad when I can actually have a big old mug of tea with a tsp of sugar and a big splash of milk!

[Zpxbawtz]

A proper tea would be good. I usually drink herbal stuff without milk, so I am ok, but I would looooove a nice, semi-sweet cup of milky, sugary tea.

[machpamb]

Yes, a proper tea would be good!!! Soon, though, soon!!

I weigh in the morning. In previous diets I weighed in the morning, evening, and etc and it drove me bat crazy!! I read an interesting article called why the scale lies a year ago that was really insightful. This diet is already stressful enough without the added worry about why did I gain 3lbs but only at 300 calories so far that day. I just try to focus on the larger goal at hand. Day 40 I really want to lose 1lb a day even though I know it's not the average. If I lost 1lb a day, I'd be at goal weight. I really don't want to do another round of this.
