    What?

    Really? Really?

    You think that because when you get weighed at a DOCTOR's OFFICE (seriously, how often are you going to be at a dang Doctor's office?) with your clothes on, that you should always do it at home?

    No. That is a ridiculous suggestion.

    Why are people so obsessed about what others do..Do what works for you and let others get on with their own thing

    Clothing and shoes doesn't add on a lot it. Well, it seems like that to me anyways.. If anything you shouldn't weigh yourself at different parts of the day. I'm usually 3 pounds heavier at the end of the day from the food and water that I've ingested. I weigh myself in the morning sometimes nude, sometimes on my pajamas.

    Like someone else said, I want to know what I weigh, not my clothes. I never weigh anyplace but at home in the nude. I never let my doctor weigh me, and I never let the nurse weigh me at work when we had our annual physicals. So - only once place I weighed myself.

    This really doesn't make sense. I mean unless your clothes weigh exactly the same every single day..... That would be the only valid reason for weighing with clothes on.

    PLUS BEING NAKED IS FUNNN!!!!

    I always weigh nude, in the morning, before eating, but after a bowel movement. If I have a doctor's appointment that day, I simply tell him my weight instead of weighing at the office (this is a habit from when I was over 300 lbs, the doctor's scale couldn't weigh me--I know, old school).

    I rarely weigh myself. If I like what I see when I look in the mirror then I'm all good :smile: :smile:

    [OP, what are you saying ? are you saying if you DON"T weigh in the nude, the scales WON'T vary ???

    =================
    Why are we splitting hairs over 1 or 2 pounds ??
    btw - clothes (sans shoes or jackets) and you'll weigh 2 pounds heavier at the most.
    heck, if you just drank a pint of water, you're a pound heavier !
    if you haven't pooped yet, you're a 1/2 pound to 1 pound heavier !!

    within any given day, your body naturally flectuates 2 to 5 pounds anyways.

    This.

    How do you weigh yourself?

    Personally, I think weighing yourself in the nude is a recipe for disappointment. First off, scales vary! So if you go to another scale, it's probably going to read a pound one way or another. Second and most importantly, unless your doctor's office is different than anyone I have been to in the past 20 years, they weigh you first with your clothes on before you go into the smaller waiting room. So that's bound to bug people who are trying to lose.

    Even at work, we were doing what we called a "Fat Off" and we always have to weigh with our clothes on. So it made not sense for me to weigh myself nude if every other weigh-in I did outside of my home was going to be with clothes.

    So my tip... find something that weighs as much as your typical outfit. And then if you want to weigh in nude/undies you can use this extra device to make up your clothing difference. I use a low pulley row handle from my gym, it happens to weigh about 4lbs and I weighed my typical outfit and it also weighed about 4lbs.

    The reason I brought this up, is I have heard complaints from people about their weigh-ins outside of their home. I would still try and weigh in at the same time anytime you do, otherwise you will run into differences. But the idea here is that you would limit the difference to a small margin.

    If you disagree, let me know why?

    The doctor scale is always 5lbs more then my scale at home. But that Is the scale I weigh in on so I will stick with it. I weigh in the morning usually naked. I don't really fret too much about other scales or whatnot.

    I weigh myself nude every day, with the scale in the same spot & my feet on the same spot on the scale--- if I change a variable, the measurement changes. Neurotic - well yes... but there is a method to my madness... I only go by my scale's weight & ignore everyone else's. And I focus on the change on my scale - the change, not the actual weight. As long as I am staying the same (at worst) or going down (at best), I'm good. Doesn't matter if it is 1 pound, 5 pounds or a tenth of a pound. Change is change & that's what I'm measuring!:happy:

    Honestly, I only care how much I weigh on my regular scales at home -- naked, first thing in the morning. I'm not running all over town weighing myself. ;)
