    I say take it all off! :drinker: I would remove my belly ring if it was easy enough. Sucker weighs a few pounds I'm sure.
  • because i like being naked!

    Clothes add a variable. Depending on hat you have on, it could fluctuate one way or the other by a couple lbs. it's unnecessary. When you weigh yourself naked, it's just you. There are no other variables, just gravity.

    Because my scale is a perv and will give me a better number if I strip for him.
  • Honestly, when I have clothes on I weigh about 8 to 10 lbs more (that's including my big f*ckin shoes).

    I've had clothing add up to 2 lbs on me. I like as true a weight as possible. And I also look for pretty much any excuse to be naked sooooo....

    To me it's like science class when you do an experiment. Controlled variable when weighing is important to me personally so naked it how I would weigh myself.

    Plus, when you are bigger, the clothes are bigger...so they weigh more. I don't want to weigh my clothes, I want to weigh ME!

    probably doesn't sound like much, but someday, in a dept store, pick up a Plus size ladies dress- or pants hanger and heft that around. Seriously...it's a few pounds.

    When you weigh your food on the scale, do you include the utensils?

    you can put it on the plate and set the scale to zero first.

    or the cup or whatever.

    then you are weighing what is on the plate, or in the cup.

    you dont need to weigh your knife and fork unless you plan on eating them.

    was that even a real question?
  • I just like being naked, I might be naked now


    Hahaha love it.

    I weight myself naked because like others said, less variables less margin of error. My losses are easier to track. Plus... Who doesn't want to be naked? :happy:

    I weigh naked because that's less stuff on the scale, and gets it closer to your truer weight.

    For me I weigh in the nude because what I wear to bed varies a lot in weight. In the winter I probably wear 3 lbs of clothing and in the summer I may only wear 1/2 to 1 lb of clothing.

    Interesting responses. My reason would be - consistency.

    Wow, that analogy just went right over your head.

    Because the scale is on the bathroom floor...right next to the shower.

    This!

    yah, its a real question. yes you can zero out the utensil before putting food on it, and that's the answer -- you wouldn't include it w/ the weight of your food as you wouldn't get an accurate reading.

    I weigh myself in my jammies. There's no way in hell those clothes are adding weight to me. Most people here are working so hard and struggling for every ounce they can get. I can commiserate, but no need to think your clothes that you sleep in really weigh pounds. They don't.

    I will never manager to wear the same thing every time, naked is consistent. Also, if I have on clothes, I will easily convince myself that *I* didn't gain, I just have on heavier clothes today.
  • It's titillating.

    I like you.

    to weigh as little as possible - so also shave legs first, brush loose hair, breathe out, cut toenails :laugh:

    Seriously, it's just consistency - and obviously people who weigh naked want to know how much THEY weigh. Great thread, made me :bigsmile:

    Because we are all perverts. No, really, I just don't wear clothes to bed anyway, and if I did, I probably wouldn't wear the same thing every night, so there may be differences in the amount of weight each item carries. A better question: Why NOT weigh naked? :devil:
  • 1) I typically sleep in a t-shirt, sweatshirt, pants and socks. No joke, ask the husband (sexy, I know...)
    2) Simply, I like to have a sec to see what I look like naked at the moment.

    Consistency!
  • I would have to remove too much body jewelry lol. Just add 1 lb for me lol

    CONSISTENCY! If you don't want to weigh yourself naked, wear the same shirt and pants everytime. Then you can't blame a fluctuation on the fact that you have a heavy sweater on that day, you know that it is all you.
