    so when your BMI scale says healthy
    unhealthy. its based on clothed or not?

    Unless your naked weight puts you at a BMI right under the overweight number, clothes are unlikely to make it shift from healthy to overweight.

    Example:
    naked weight this morning: 188.2 - BMI 32.3
    clothed weight (t-shirt and fuzzy pj pants): 190.2 - BMI 32.6
    The 2lb difference barely moved my BMI.

    I think most people will say nude and in the morning.. But I beg to differ because what does it lead to? Disappointment, when you've eaten and your wearing clothes and you're 2kg heavier :/ I try not to set myself up for that by always weighing end of the day and clothed normally, simply because if I saw that on the scale it'd be terribly demotivating.

    Once I've stepped on the scale in the morning, I don't step back on for the rest of the day. Thus I don't see the weight of my clothes, food, bloating, etc on the scale. So, if weight fluctuations bothered me, there would be no disappointment. I don't see the need to step on a scale more than once a day since too many things play into what weight shows up on the scale.

    I always weigh myself in the morning nakey :blushing: that's what I've been doing this past year.

    Plus before I go to the doctor I like to weigh myself right before I walk out the door, of course I'm usually 3-6lbs heavier from clothes and shoes, but still. It's expected.

    i like to feel as though i am attending at an important function and am the key note speaker.

    Naked. I workout mornings before the sun rises. So, after my workout, and before showering, I'm just conveniently disrobed at that moment. And, it's a consistent habit for me.

    That depends. If you're weighing yourself in public; clothed is usually the socially accepted standard.

    Hahaha! That's right, depends on where you are.. LOL

    Naked, no matter where I am. Walmart asked me to buy my next scale elsewhere.

    I would weigh naked. That is how much YOU weigh, not YOU AND YOUR CLOTHES. This way, every time you weigh, you will know exactly how much you have gained or loss, and not have to worry if your shoes are adding weight, etc.

    I do it nakey-nakey, and before breakfast. But you'll need to do it however you've been consistently doing it to make sure you have accurate numbers.

    I only wear 3 things when weighing myself at home - underwear (knickers), my fitbit flex & my glasses. I weigh myself as soon as I have finished attending to morning bathroom needs
