Weigh with or without clothes

ultimateyou

It's weighing day today for me and I usually weigh myself with my clothes on. (Usually my pyjamas.) Today I thought I would check what my weight is without. (Only my underwear left on)
It was 2ibs lighter.

So my question is should I log without clothes or with?

Do what you normally do.
I normally weigh in nothing... That removes a variable.

Are your clothes part of your body?

Without. Every ounce helps.

i weigh my self full naked every morning.

The most accurate thing would be naked at the same time of day every time and after following the same routine beforehand. A lot of people go for mornings, after the bathroom break, before eating/drinking anything.

If you have go for clothes you should try to at least go for very similar ones (summer nighties probably are lighter than winter nighties) and keep that consistent.

I weigh in in my underwear. Whatever it is that you choose, just try to be consistent with it

I weigh with clothes because I did it the first time and I don't want to change it so it looks like I lost more than I did+ I eat and drink before weighing for the same reason.

I don't wear anything when weighing myself I want to weigh me, not my clothes

Butt Naked! (And preferably after a BM). It's the only way to get an accurate weight.

I weigh naked. Clothes are not a part of me.

Without! Without anything at all ... just me. Not even earrings.

If it works for you that's great but not all clothes are the same weight and neither are food and drinks, so I don't get why someone would do this to themselves. I would assume that fluctuations are much more varied when doing something like this. I can "gain" two pounds after my morning cup of water and coffee.

Anyway, I'm with those who say to weigh naked first thing in the morning after using the bathroom. Weight isn't static, but clothes, food, and drinks can change your weight drastically and it's best to keep consistency.

A pound here or there isn't a problem... if you weigh in daily... take the average once a week

I personally just wear my underwear.

I don't have a scale at home, so I weigh myself every other week at the gym -- I try to wear the same/similar set of workout clothes on my weighing days, and no shoes on the scale.

I wear my jammies when I weigh in the morning. I'm not hung up on the number on the scale and use a trending app to make sure I'm losing over time so it doesn't really matter as long as it's consistent.

Depends on the location of the scale.

Weigh yourself in the same conditions every time you weigh yourself. I personally weigh myself in the morning, my undies after I use the bathroom on my scale at home.

Same time of day and wearing same clothes or no clothes is what I've always heard you should do. I weigh daily and shouldn't but I only count my weigh in on one day each week.
