So, tomorrow is my first time weighing in since I started. Does anyone know if it is better to weigh yourself (in the morning, of course) before or after excersise?

Hi Mainegirl,I consider my truest weight is when I first get up in the morning before I eat, drink or exercise. So when I am serious about tracking my weight I get on the scale with no clothes first thing the morning then take my shower. My weekly weigh ins are done at the JC center so I know my weight will be higher but that does not bother me.
Good luck with tomorrow's weigh in.

Before you do ANYTHING....well except potty of course....and yes, be sure you empty all your bodily functions first b/c they weigh something as well.

I always had the 9am, Wed morning appt, and never ate or drank anything before I went in. Sometimes in the afternoons, I can weight 2 or 3 lbs more than I weighted that morning. That being said, if you always weigh in at the same time in the afternoons, it should still be consistant. When I was weighing in the afternoons, after work, around 4 pm, I found that I was starving myself all day, so I would weigh less. Which is stupid, this is supposed to be about health. I guess we all have our hang-ups.

I always weigh in in the morning after exercise when I'm a little dehydrated, the scale is generally similar to when i first get up in the morning.
