Weighing yourself naked or clothed?

They won't let me weigh naked at the doctor's office although I've threatened to try!  I weigh at home 2x a week and know that when I weigh at my doctor's office clothed, (but without shoes),  I will weigh 3 lbs more than my home scale. 
 
Weighing every day makes me crazy!

I weigh on Monday's and Fridays first think in the a.m.,  so I have a check before and after the weekend.

My Dr's scale is exactly 1 pound heavier than mine..also since my surgery I wear the same exact outfit when I know they are going to weigh me..I already told them I don't care if they think I only have 1 outfit, it makes NO sense for me to wear something different if they are weighing me because that will screw up my stats! The nurse said I am not the only one who does this so I feel better about it!

That is so strange to me. My doctor's scale is about 5 pounds off for me.

Naked.  I want to know what I weigh, not my clothes.

RNY with
I go with naked, first thing in the morning, and only count it once a week even if it does drop down below my lowest weight just so I dont set myself up for bigger disappointments. Luckily I think my Dr's office has their scale set up to subtract a couple of lbs for clothes because I always weigh the same there even fully clothed in the middle of the day.

Naked!  I weigh first thing in the morning - the only one that I use for the total to tell people is my weight on Tuesdays, but I weigh about every other day just as a check-in.

As with all the others........... survey says!!! "Nekkid!!!!"

I check it twice and sometimes three times in that one setting. I have stopped weighing myself so much now because I can actually SEE when I have gained or lost weight. I mean my body actually shows a different in my tummie when I have dropped or gained weight.

My official Monday weigh ins (at home) are done nekkid. Every doctor's office I have EVER been to, weighs in at least 5lbs more (probably because of clothes and later in the day). Grrrrr

funny but true --

One time when I was in a hospital weightloss program one of the guys getting weighed came back from vaction and was worried he gained a lot. He actually took his pants off in front of every one there and demanded to be weighed in his underware. It will be a cold day in hell before I do that : )
