    That's the reason I weigh myself in the morning without clothes :)

    Consistency is key here!!

    Always the same set of scales, always the same time of day, always the same type of clothes. That way you know its a consistent measurement.

    For me - its always a Monday morning, same set of bathroom scales, as soon as I get up (just after I've been to the toilet!), totally nudie... (sorry for the details - too much information??) ;)

    I strip down before my shower every thursday morning and weigh in...you'd be surprised what clothes weigh, even if it's just "light weigh clothes" The only way to know is either wear the exact same thing every time you weigh in or nothing at all, I find it easier to wear nothing...

    I always weigh as soon as I get up (after going to the loo) and naked. Clothes weigh such different amounts whereas your birthday suit doesnt.

    I agree with the others. I weigh in my b-day suit just before showering.

    Can you wear the same thing every week when you weigh in? I'm another "same-time, same-day, naked weigher," and I agree that consistency is key, it will keep you from going crazy over those ups and downs.

    You should invest in some bathroom scales of your own - Argos sell them from £3.99 so it shouldn't break the bank.

    oh i dunno, it would surly help you to lose weight fast....because you would be too imbarassed to be overweight! i guess the draw back mite be that you would proberly get arrested, and prison food is proberly quite fattening!

    my nutritionist says that is BEST to weigh in right after the first morning bathroom visit and naked.
    most accurate results

    I always weigh in naked, on a Monday morning, first thing after I've gone to the toilet.

    I'm still waiting until I can afford a doctors type Health O' Meter Scale. I use my doctors scale since I go in regularly. No, I don't take my clothes into consideration when I weigh myself.:yawn:

    I weigh naked on Friday mornings because weekends are tough days on my caloric intake

    I always weight myself in the nude. If I did weight with clothes on, I would try to do so with the same stuff on everytime on my one weekly weigh-in.

    OP, jeans and jacket would amount to a couple of pounds or more, jeans can be quite weighty on their own, so I think you would be pleasantly surprised if you weighed yourself first thing in the morning, naked!

    im a naked when i get up on a monday and i try not to weigh in between as it can be demoralizing if the scales show you havent lost anything.
    measurements are a good guide too though as you can lose inches but not weight so maybe measure yourself and then once a month do them again and see if there are any changes :O)

    I take of my clothes right before I hope on the scale. I also make sure I weigh in on the sameday in the morning.

    I weigh at work and I wear essentially the same clothes every day. SCRUBS. I take my shoes off though.

    NOPE!
    And that's why I remove every stitch. I weigh in every morning right after awakening, nude and after a good poo but before breakfast.

    I just want to know my weight without having to guess what clothes might weight or anything else.

    I get up, pee, weigh myself naked. More or less the same time every day.

    If I have a weigh in day at the gym, I make sure I am wearing the same gym kit on that day.

    The key is consistency.

    I do it first thing in the morning, so I'm either naked or wearing underwear.
