Do you weigh in with your shoes on or off? Opinions needed!

I don't have a scale at home on purpose. I'd obsess and be on it constantly, checking, "oh, I'm up a 1/2 lb, I'm down 1/2 lb!" and "is it water? Have I gained" yadda d yadda d yadda d. So, weigh in at gym, and try to only do it once a week.

As everyone said, consistency is key. I just disagree with weighing yourself once a week. I prefer a daily "snapshot" of where I am, gives me a range to work with. So, if you weigh yourself once a week, how do you know you're not weighing extra water weight? What about a bowel movement prior to weigh-in? Too many variables to do it once a week IMHO.

I weigh at home in my bathroom, either in bra and panties or butt naked... I have even taken off my clothes to weigh and then put them back on.

so that would be shoes OFF for me

yeah i do the same thing

Well, I use my Crocs as my slippers, so I weigh every morning in my jammies and Crocs. Shoes on for me, just because I'm too sleepy to make any adjustments. Plus Crocs don't weigh much anyway.

I weigh daily for this reason... I'm trying not to stress the day to day fluctuations too much, BUT if i were to weigh in once a week, and say, it looked like I'd gained 3 lbs that week... that would haunt me all week until my next weigh in, but day to day, I can keep track of the moving trend, and if it's up a little, I don't worry about it too much unless it's up consecutively. BUT, overall, I'm TRYING not to stress the numbers on the scale too much... but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop looking at them either

Shoes off, because I have a scale that measures bmi etc, so it needs contact with bare skin to send its little electrical pulses and work out how much of me is water and how much is fat

No shoes- no anything!

Shoes off and naked after the first trip to the bathroom

It doesn't matter how you weigh as long as you do it the same everytime. So I would wait a day and weigh like you usually do.

THIS!

I weigh in completely nekkid. Some of the prudes at the doctors office get 'huffy' about it, but they can kiss my..
