What do you weigh yourself in??



Recommended Posts

I was just curious of what everyone wears when they weight themselves? In the past I have always worn similar light weight clothing. This morning I happened to step on the scale before I got into the shower, while I was still wearing my nightgown and then again once I got dressed and was surprised to see almost a 5 pound difference. When I had done weight watchers before, I always thought it was funny when people would come in and strip down to the shortest shorts and sports bras for weigh in!

In my mind I figured it is best to go with clothes on, similar to what I would wear to the doctors office for the "official" weigh in to keep from being too disappointed in the variance.

Maybe this is another reason that it's time to go get some new clothes that aren't so baggy and so I won't need a belt to keep my pants up!

Ditto to what Steph04 wrote :P

I also weigh myself first thing in the morning to avoid any added Water weight.

Butt naked! lol I don't want anything weighing me down. Also, first thing in the morning. I am trying to break the weighing everyday habit, it just brings me down.

Straight from waking up, to the bathroom, then to the scales in nothing but my unders! Lower the weight means higher self esteem for me.

I wake up, take a shower, and then step on the scale butt naked. I find I'm a couple ounces less after a shower, I think your muscles are more relaxed, maybe? Anyways, every ounce counts!

I always a bit more AFTER a shower. I think Water is retained in my skin. Weigh myself when I first get up, and right before bed.

I get up, pee, then weigh in the tank top I sleep in.

I definitely liked the number when I stepped on it the first thing this morning in my nightgown, but was a bit shocked to think I'd lost 5 pounds in 2 days when the scale wasn't budging before. Which is why I weighed again in clothes and saw it was the same as 2 days prior.

I had been avoiding the scale since it was hardly budging, but decided to give it a try last friday and was shocked to see I was down almost 10 pounds since I weighed a couple of weeks ago. I guess fixing the Constipation issue helped quite a bit! :)

My biggest concern with going with the number with the least amount of clothing and then stepping on the doctors scale fully clothed and seeing a higher number is the self esteem issue, like someone else mentioned.

Thanks for the feedback.

I could be a real smart ass and say my bathroom. Like most everybody else, in what God gave me. I just wish he had not been so generous in giving me so much. I also make sure the cat does not come in the bathroom when I get weight, I am sure goes out to the neighbors and talks.

I weigh in the same thing I am planning to wear to the doc appointment when I have one, otherwise, in my birthday suit. By the way, I LOVE to weigh in at the docs, always 3 pounds lower than at home!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
