When do you weigh yourself: first thing in the morning, or late at night before going to bed? I've done both, but wanted to get the general consensus of when others weigh themselves.

According to my scale, I've GAINED five pounds in the last three days?? Although... wait. I went off my birth control over the weekend(forgot is more like it), thus getting my time-of-the-month for the second time in two weeks. Could that attribute to the weight gain? Because I haven't eaten anything wrong.

Ack. I'm going to bed. lol

I weigh in the morning only also... A couple of months ago I gained 3lbs in 1 day, I called the nut all freaked out and she assured me it had to be water. Sure enough it all went away almost as fast as it came on.

Yep, 1st thing in the moring after I go to the bathroom....... And yes, Our periods can effect the scale.......Mine has been all over the place since surgery, I was getting it every 2 weeks, now only once a month but it lasts 15 days.....Uhhhh. My Bariatric nurse is having me go see my OBGYN, I'm hoping for a little help...... Kelly
