Take it in the morning before you eat anything, because even if you took it after lunch, who's to say that one day you don't eat more than another.

I get on and off 3 times and stick with that number until the next month. I take my measurements on the same day. We women just have too many variables. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

Weight also fluctuates daily due to water intake and salt intake. It is best to weigh yourself once a week on the same scale at the same time of day to really monitor yourself. Give yourself a break at the time of month. Don't get obsessed with the numbers. How does it look and feel. How are your clothes fitting. Is it mostly fat or muscle. REmember a lb of muscle takes up less space than fat thus looking smaller and is more attractive of course and firm. Weighing yourself constantly can literally drive you nuts and discourage you.
