I had this question about weighing yourself. I usually weigh myself with clothes on. I'm at 212 now. this morning without thinking I weighed myself with just my under wear on. It said 205!!!!!!! That seems to be a BIG DIFFERENCE!!! So I was wondering..... how do you weigh yourself?

    Right before I get in the shower in the morning before I've had anything to eat or drink and naked as the day I was born.The lower the number, the better it makes me feel, so yeah.

    I weigh at the gym every monday. I stick to the same scale there (they have 6 of em) and the same time. I did notice my sneakers alone were a 2 pound difference. Thems some heavyass sneakers.

    Right before I go out to run, after going to the bathroom and in just my underwear. Clothes may not weigh much but, then again they weigh something. Also like to weigh myself after a workout even though I know the weight loss is water and needs to be replaced.

    Well I use the scale located at the front of my gym and I think stripping down naked would be considered poor decorum.

    Or it might make someone's day! For me naked at 4:30 when I get home from work and get changed. No time in the morning for that kind of stuff and I only randomly weigh because doing is daily is a quick trip to obsessing over little fluctuations.

    Each morning I wake up, pull the scale out from the wall to the level part of the floor and click it on to calibrate itself to the move. While that's doing that, I use the restroom. Then I strip to just my underwear, click the scale back on and weigh. Then log the weight in my excel spreadsheet when I get in front a computer.

    It's typically around 7:30ish on weekdays, 6:30ish on Saturdays and anywhere between 7:30-9:30 on Sundays, depending on if I'm doing a long run on the trail or if I slept in and am stuck on a treadmill instead.

    Out of sheer curiosity from this thread (and me finding mindless ways to delay going to the gym this morning) I just weighed an average outfit I wear day to day, it was 5.2 pounds.

    I only weigh on the first of the month, and I do it as soon as I get up in the morning on that day, just in whatever I went to bed in.

    In the morning, no clothes, after bathroom. Clothes weigh more than you think, so does long hair.

    In the morning after I've gone you-know-what, and completely naked. I don't need to weigh my clothes. I don't need to weigh my shoes. I just want to know what *I* weigh, all by myself.

    I have a friend who had been weighing herself after she got out of the shower. Towel still wrapped around her. I told her she was weighing the towel, and the water in that towel, and the water in her long hair. No! Don't do that! It's silly.

    I wear clothes but remove shoes and purse. I should say I'd love to be like all these liberated hippies who weigh naked but I'm afraid the scale is gonna judge me.

    Every Saturday once I have completed my 10k run - yes I know it's proberbly a bit out due to sweat but I guess as long as you do it every week it still shows any weight change
