1) Weigh yourself at the same time in any day so as to be consistent. If you're heavier at night and lighter in the morning, it's all relative.

2) Saying that, I think considered opinion is to weigh yourself first thing in the morning.

Same time each day.

But unless you're a boxer who is fighting a weigh-in it doesn't really matter.

If you're a dieter, then only weigh yourself on a week, max!!!!

If you get wind and don't let it out then that can make you lighter too.
Think its because fart-gas is lighter than air.

Try farting into a balloon, tie a not and watch it float up to the ceiling.

Sadly Methane (CH4) is heavier than air. Hot air is however lighter than cool air and seeing as all this is spouting from your ***, that would seem appropriate

once every couple of weeks in the morning before eating anything. when dieting, i do it as far apart from carb-up/refeeds as possible as these can skew things with water retention.

i only do it to ensure i havent lost too much weight.

i use the tape measure and body capliers more often than weighing - leads to far more accurate estimates of the bodyfat that you've lost.

Actually methane is less dense than air
