do u allow for your clothes on weigh in day

ednawhatnot · January 2012

I weigh myself on the scales in the surgery as soon as I get to work (I eat breakfast at work so I do it before that). My work clothes are usually fairly similar in weight and I keep my shoes on too. Not too worried about it being an exact weight, as long as the numbers keep going in the right direction.

I've weighed myself several times in the same weigh in moment and gotten different numbers before :grumble: But there is usually one number that I get more often and that is the one I use. But I would always weigh nekkid and on the same scale, same time everyday :bigsmile:

I always weight with nothing on. It's more consistent.

I always weigh myself after a run, however, I know it's not a true weight but fun to see myself lighter.

For the purposes of MFP I weigh myself on a morning straight out of bed.

I strip down. I don't want ANYTHING to add on extra weight if I can help it.

I may check myself at someone else's house. But my official scale is the one at my house. I weigh every Friday morning (well I weigh myself all the time but it's official on Friday's) and I do it with nothing on before I hop in the shower.

Like others are saying - I weigh myself nekkid.

Dtho5159 · January 2012

I weigh myself first thing, after I pee, only wearing panties.

PhatAv8r · January 2012

weigh in the same clothes that you weighed in in the first place, or bite the bullet and set a new habit this week.

jjohnboy2000 · January 2012

Same as everyone else. No clothes and on a sunday morning. Don't weigh yourself every day though.

Dtho5159 · January 2012

Kind of a similar funny story. My husband weighed himself here one day recently after his shower and weighed 130lb. He said he weighed himself at work the same day and weighed 140. The man has a full uniform on, keys and his wallet in his pocket. His belt holds his cell phone, gun and extra magazine clip and he wears steel toe boots. AND he had just eaten lunch. He REFUSES still to this day to believe me when I say he could be 10lb heavier with all his gear on and having just eaten :huh:

I weigh myself with the same scales and no clothes in the mourning.

Nonibug · January 2012

Yup, same as most here. I weigh myself every Wednesday morning after using the "facilities" and with only panties on.

Someone else mentioned on this thread that you should do your measurements every month. I agree 100%. Sometimes we don't like what the scale has to say, but when you are measuring inches falling off...now that's very satisfying

Craig_hyde · January 2012

weighed myself mostly nekkid and fully clothed. Found there is roughly a 2lb difference if I wear my usual attire.

paulslimjonesbryant · January 2012

Amy911Gray · January 2012

ackeebee · January 2012

Yup, same as most here. I weigh myself every Wednesday morning after using the "facilities" and with only panties on.

i even take off my panties lol

charbie17 · January 2012

I always weight myself every Monday morning in my underwear before eating and drinking anything.

Bekzness · January 2012

always naked... same time of day, usually morning after the bathroom antics

I am talking about weighing by the way :P

Cathnger · January 2012

I weigh with clothes on as I go to a shop to weigh lol - but I make sure that I wear exactly the same or very similar in weight clothing everytime I weigh - I say record the 1lb loss because the excess clothing your wearing will add a 1lb or so, so if you have stayed the same with more clothes on then you've lost the 1lb

kealey1318 · January 2012

I weight in au natural so I can't blame the clothes... although, today I had on socks... that must've been my problem. LOL

LittleFootHafner · January 2012

Nope!! Always weigh-in nude first thing in the morning, after using the washroom...

Definitely the most accurate way to do it!

indiesongstress · January 2012

Never with clothes for me

Even what I thought was a light shirt was adding an extra pound or two.

RAFValentina · January 2012

Weigh yourself at the same time (after bowel movement first thing in morning) on the same set of scales with no clothes, dry hair. Only real way of telling.

CinJay · January 2012

No clothes, after bathroom break, first thing in the morning...

kykykenna · January 2012

In the Am, totally nekkid, after the bathroom trip, before the shower. Hell.....I even take my elastic out of my hair!!!!!!LOL

violetness · January 2012

Same here - always first thing after I pee in the morning and sans clothing.

BellydanceBliss · January 2012

If you weight first with jeans t-shirt, shoes etc then make it the same every time. If your first weight was naked then strip down. Always weigh after you potty in the morning right when you get up and not more than once a week.

madamepsychosis · January 2012

As someone else said on here, it might be best to invest in an inexpensive set of scales. It'll save you more money in the long run than putting money in the chemists' scales anyway! Then weigh yourself once a week (and only once a week, I would say), in the morning, naked, after you've been to the toilet and before you've eaten or drunk anything.

I'm glad I read the information on this thread, I currently don't have scales at home so I normally weigh myself at the gym. I kept feeling down cause I felt I wasn't improving my weight goal.
