What is the best time to weight self and how often? -

What is the best time to weight yourself first thing in the morning or the last thing at night and how often, daily or weekly and the same time each weigh in.I am starting a weight loss program now and want to take my weight first and then continue on with a journal.thanks for help anyone can give - would be appreciated

in the morning. because it s been hrs since you ate or drank.how often depends if you are on a diet or not.i was on a diet for 5months and weighed once a wk. in the morning.it still won t be accurate because weight can be off because of water retention or dehydration and other factors. as long as it close,within a lb or two of last reading.since im off a diet and my weight has stabilized i try to wait 2weeks or more to weigh. same reason. i just don t think it necessary to be that concerned unless a person has pigged out for a week .

once a week only in the morning before your shower and brushing your teeth and eating
