*Personal Question* Clothed or Unclothed?

Do you get "Nekkid" and then weigh yourself...or do you do it with clothes on?

To me, your true weight is unclothed...so that's how I do it :)

    I usually do it right after my business in the morning so I am usually wearing my knickers and tank, which really isn't much in the long run.

    yep- sans clothes in Am. When I weigh at my doc's appt. yearly- I don't stress if the weights don't jib.
    It is with clothes and is later in the day after eating, etc.
    Your accurate weight is doing the weighing: same time - same scales - same attire.
    Regularity is to be achieved for accurate data collection.

    I don't have a scale, so I do it at the gym. Fully clothed. :)

    I do it either unclothed or in undies, for the same reason as others, because I weigh Friday mornings, while I'm getting ready and before I've eaten. It helps me stay consistent.

    Naked! I weigh in officially and unofficially every morning naked.

    Sometimes throughout the day I weigh clothed to just "see", but I don't log those and by now I know how much my outfits weigh after a year and a half of doing it heh.

    Nekkid. When I'm going to the Dr's, I wear light-weight clothes and slip-off shoes.

    Same as most of the above. Unclothed and first thing in the morning before I have my first cup of coffee, drink of water, or bite of food.

    I guess it doesn't matter what you weigh in (or out of), as long as you are consistent. I go to WW so I actually weigh twice (I believe in knowing more than once a week how I am doing!), clothed at WW (for consistency I have weighed my clothes and have three combinations that weigh within 0.1lb of each other!) and without a stitch on at home. I do of course, track the weights separately.

    No scale here, so I only check at the docs, or when I'm at someones house and they have a scale in the bathroom and I can sneak on.

    I guess if you are concerned about the numbers, then consistency matters.

    The only number I'm worried about is the one on the inside of my pants, and I just had to buy a belt!

    I am usually clothed, especially in the winter and my scale is downstairs in the kitchen, although if you have the option, I would go for nekkid! :smile:

    As long as it's the same for each weigh in then you are seeing accurate results!

    Well, since I don't have a scale at home, I have to weigh in whenever the opportunity arises. I do take my shoes off, and try to be in pretty much the same clothes when I know I'm going to the doctor though.

    Depends on who is home. If its just me and my roommate then its naked, but on weekends there is too much of an audience so I put on my tmnt boxers and a tank.
