Weighing yourself naked or clothed?
Of course, we usually weigh less naked, right? So, what weight, naked or clothed, do you consider your "weight"? Like, the weight you record here at OH or the # you base your loss on when people ask, "how much have you lost?!" Which one do you use?
I have to say that I tend to use the clothed weight. I weigh in my pajamas, but on days that I'm a little heavier, I strip down to make myself feel better. LOL
I do weigh in every morning, but I'm not obsessed with it. I know what that feels like and I didn't like it, so I get on for a reality check every morning and then get on with the rest of my day.

On an official weigh in day... I do this:
Night before laxative, morning of drink/eat nothing, brush teeth and floss, very hot bath for about an hour, shave, exfoliate, rinse well, dry off and relax until sweat stops.
Get on scale naked.
That is my weight.
lol, a little radical huh? But it is worth at least two pounds.
Then go drink a ton of icecold water before I pass out.

I weigh myself in a flimsy nightgown.. First thing in the morning after I use the bathroom and before I take even a sip of water..The scale is in the exact same spot on the floor..or it should be...if its off even 1/8 inch, I move it to where it's supposed to be..it's a digital scale so I step on the button..let it go to 0.0, wait for it to go off, then step on the button a 2nd time..wait for it to go to 0.0..then I step on.
