Just curious how everyone weighs themselves....I weighed myself this morning with clothes and it was 2.5lbs more than without clothing LOL!!! I got somewhat discouraged then realized "ok..its just the clothes that added that extra weight" LOL!!

I try to weigh once a week, in the morning, nekkid and after going to the BR. This is the number that gets recorded.

The rest of the time I weigh in whatever I have on, but usually take my shoes off.

When weighing while clothed I don't worry about a one or two lb fluctuation.. or if I'm wearing something heavy.. even 3lbs. Nekkid weights .. those I watch a bit more closely.

I weight on Fridays and no clothing when I go to the docs when I weigh myself there my scale compared to his is only a two pound difference so our scales pretty much match to a T .

N-A-K-E-D! As bare as I can get! I weigh each morning as soon as I get up.

I also go to WW for the weekly accountability and they laugh at me becuase I'd get naked there if they'd let me. I've been known to even remove my jewelry before I weigh. I find that clothes can add anywhere from 2-3.5 lbs!

Hey! My watch is heavy! It weighs 2 ounces!

RNY with

LOL! Ditto what Lisa said :) As far as I am concerned there is no need for me to count the things on my body as part of my weight. At least on my Wii Fit I can subtract 2lbs for my clothes and luckily my surgeons scale matches my morning naked weight so I think their scale is calibrated to account for the little bit extra which is awesome.

At home I weigh without clothes --- at Weigh****chers, they don't allow that -- LOL

I know that my scale, naked, first thing in the morning will be within 1 pound of the WW scale.

LOL!!! Yeah Im sure at WW they would be a lil shocked if we showed up all casually "nakey" for our weigh in LOL!!! I feel good knowing that others have pretty much the same thoughts as I do towards weighing with/without clothing...I love this site!!! Makes me feel more comfortable to know that there are others out there that feel the same way I do and can help me out when Im concerned about certain things...No matter how strange and off the wall LOL!! Thank you all for your wonderful help and humor

I weight myself with clothes on but they are the lightest clothes I have cause either it is on the Wii Fit plus board before I workout or at the DR office.
