Why do people weigh themselves naked?

I actually tested the difference yesterday and the t-shirt and shorts I was wearing added 1.2 lbs, so yeah, that matters to me.

It's the same reason why you don't weigh yourself right after a meal. You want to weigh yourself and not what you're wearing. Don't know about you, but my jeans with belt are reasonably heavy, then there's the hoodie too.

because this way it is always a true representation. If you measure yourself under the same conditions every day you will get the most accurate measurements.

Yep, I always weigh with no clothes on before I shower. Some clothing weight differ.

I was curious and weighed myself both ways a while ago. Between my clothes, my keys, wallet, cell phone and pocket knife it is 6.5 lbs.

I did compare my home scale with a scale at the feed store one time. That scale is state certified so I figured it was a good one to use. I went right home and weighed myself in the same clothes before eating or using the bathroom. It matched by .2 lbs so I know my home scale is pretty accurate.

For me I usually try to strip down to underwear. I am usually wearing socks and our scale checks body fat percentage, so I have to take those off anyway. I usually weigh myself at night before bed and I am not wearing much to begin with. I am one of those people that comes straight home and takes everything off that isn't needed.
