So this morning is day 7 and I weighed myself. On day 1, I weighed myself after a shower naked. I was 318.5 pounds. Today, I weighed myself again, naked. It said 316 pounds twice. I put on my underwear and got on again. It said 317.5. So if it said 316 TWICE, then I weigh 316, right?!

    cloth has mass.

    I always remove my boots, belt, jeans, and t-shirt before I weigh myself. These garments together I think weigh about 10-15 lbs.

    I weigh naked first thing every morning. (works for me to see the trend)
    YES if that is what it said...THAT is what it IS.
    CONGRATULATIONS! and keep it up!

    Dump those one and a half pound undies! ;-)

    After getting rid of my old scale, and buying one that was supposed to be more accurate and "repeatable" (but wasn't much better), I learned that scale manufacturers consider a 5lb variability to be perfectly acceptable. Don't lose your nerve. Just keep working your plan.

    I always do 3 measurements, and usually get 2 that match and go with that one.

    Thank You! That must be a fact then! I've lost 2 1/2 pounds and it's barely day 7 :) Good thing I checked it twice
