Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004When is best time to weigh yourself?
If I weigh myself right when I get out of bed I'm about 7-8 lbs lighter than when I weigh myself right before bed. Which reading should I be going by? >If I weigh myself right when I get out of bed I'm about 7-8 lbs lighter than >when I weigh myself right before bed. Which reading should I be going by? Pick one and use only that one. http://www.allthesky.com/eclipses/lunareclipse01a.html Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long. >>If I weigh myself right when I get out of bed I'm about 7-8 lbs lighter than >>when I weigh myself right before bed.

I'm sure it's never heard that from you before, at least not sincerely. Do you think it'll survive the strain on it's heart?

Good advice is good advice, even when it comes from a fraud and coward. As for the strain, one can hope. But then Mu_ppet would consult with his other half, Chung.

It really doesn't make any difference, pick one time of the day/week/month and be consistent. It doesn't do any good to compare a wakeup reading with a bedtime reading if you are looking a a wieght loss trend, apples and oranges you know. I wiegh myself weekly, on Saturday morning right after I get up. It makes me feel a little better since I know that is likely my lightest time of the week. BJ > If I weigh myself right when I get out of bed I'm about 7-8 lbs lighter than > when I weigh myself right before bed. Which reading should I be going by? The lower one, of course. And always weigh yourself at the same time. For me, it's as soon as I get up in the morning, because I seem to lose the most weight while I sleep.

To rehash one factor: CO2 in breath and H2O in breath and perspiration. A complete metabolism of either fat or carbs results in only these two molecules anyway. In fact, indirect calorimiters (like the BodyGem) measure your metabolism by comparing your "in" breath with your "out" breath. Plus most people use the toilet before weighing in the morning. >> From: Jim Marnott (Tue, 06 Jan 2004 13:46:09 -0500) >> MsgId: <2oDKb.138461$by2.1530921@wagner.videotron.net> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >Where does it go?

Which reading should I be going by? Just weigh yourself under the same circumstances, so you can see whether you are losing, gaining, or stable. SignatureJean B. > If I weigh myself right when I get out of bed I'm about 7-8 lbs lighter than > when I weigh myself right before bed. Which reading should I be going by? 8 pounds?? That's a HUGE difference! Do it in the morning for sure. > If I weigh myself right when I get out of bed I'm about 7-8 lbs lighter than > when I weigh myself right before bed. Which reading should I be going by? I heard (or read) recently that you weigh your most at 7:00pm (I have no idea where this came from, but in my personal experience, I would have to concur). Personally, I weigh myself in the morning, right before I get in the shower, after my morning pee :). If you weigh yourself using the same scale, at the same time of day, you'll at least get a sense of pounds lost, if not your actual weight. Do you have a good scale? We used to have one that would give a different reading, depending on where you stood on it. If your scale isn't that great, try to stand in the same spot, looking forward, and have someone else read the numbers. Even a lean forward to read the dial can make the dial move. Lee The scale is good advice. I used to be able to cheat and weigh up to 5 lbs less if I stood on it a certain way. I got a Tanita and trust me, I can't cheat anymore. I like weighing myself at my lowest weight each day. For me that's first thing in the morning after any BM. Good luck. |
