So it's weigh in day tomorrow. I just hopped on the scale this morning with underwear and sports bra on as I always do. Then just now I decided to hop on after my shower. I was down 2 lbs. Do clothes really make that much of a difference? I guess I update my weight now cause naked can't lie lol

    The naked trick only works once.

    The first time you get credit for the lack of clothing, from then on you are comparing naked to naked.

    So the alternative is keeping weighing in the same outfit? Then you're weighing outfit to outfit.

    I doubt a bra and underwear weigh 2 lbs. If your shower was hot and long you could have lost some water weight.

    I weigh myself at the gym. I wear shoes shorts and top. Plus have a small towel with me. The key is consistency. Dont go back and forth naked one week and clothes the next.

    I think if the water is very warm people sweat in the shower without noticing it

    Always naked. And I've also tried putting clothes on and taking them back off during the same weighing session, and the weight actually varies. Guess we don't realize how big a load we're carrying with the clothes we wear all day long.

    I'm actually surprised you're down at all - since your hair was likely wet & shoud have added some weight.

    (But yes - weigh naked, since otherwise you're including the weight of the clothing.)

    This.

    I've stepped on the scale, stepped off, stepped back on and had a pound difference. I chalk it up to the scale not an actual change in my weight in those few seconds.

    That, and if you happened to pee while in there.

    :laugh: yes, the scale HRM's aren't accurate, fitbits, machines at the gym, nothing is 100%, 100% of the time.
    Same with the food scales.. sometimes you turn back around and it's 2 grams different than when you just looked. :wink:
