Hello everyone,

I would like to know what you do! When i go the the doctor, i'm clothed and always weigh about 3 to 4 lbs more than i do naked at home! I have decided to save myself the disappointment and just weigh myself fully clothed (without shoes of course).

What does everyone else do?

Naked as a Jay Bird!!!! (After i get up and pee of course) LOL

At home I weigh naked. WhenI go to the doctor's office I make sure to take off my shoes and wear the lightest clothes I can just to see if my scale at home is as accurate as I think. It might be a few pounds off.

Naked, after a wee first thing in the morning. The surgeons' scales are about the same as mine, well the same as mine when I weight msyelf clothed during the day.

So I figure what I weight on mine naked in the mornign is what I really weigh.

You know, my doctor never lets me weigh naked. I bet his scale would be the same as mine at home if I stripped down before I stepped on the thing... :love:

Clothed (w/o shoes on) of course, no sense in giving the scale a thrill...

/ba dum crash

Clothed. I don't have blinds on my windows and I really don't want to scare anyone who might drive up :success1:

I go starkas...hehehe but usually because I weigh myself just before hopping into the shower...always BEFORE because I have noticed wet hair adds a substantial amount to the scales...hehehe

becky

BUTT NAKED at home...and if the scales dont start to move again i swear ill start strippin at the dr office too.

Funny...last time i was there it ws RIGHT after id been walking on the beach and i had my flipflops on. i took them off and stepped on the scale and i still had sand and little seashells on my feet, plus they were wet with seawater. i left a mess. i didnt mean to, just did. figured that stuff must weigh five lbs right? plus five lbs for my shoes, five for my clothes....

I don't have a digital scale because we went through so many of them when my son wrestled in hs,we finally bought a "good" scale and now that ds has his own home he owns a digital that tells your bmi, etc and he tells me my scale is way better then his and he'd like to trade.. LOL.. I think not. So I go by my scale, naked first thing in the am and only record on Sundays. When I'm going to my dr, I weigh with clothes and its usually right on with his. But my dr also calculates the clothing and removes that from the actual weigh in. So I guess his scale would be a couple lbs heavy if I was actually standing there naked.

I was almost to the point of OCD with my scales the first year post op.

I was told its only natural, but was a tough habit to break, weighing 4-5 times a day. Now that I am at goal, once a day, first thing out of the shower, no clothes.

2 years post op, at goal!

210 pounds lost.

Life is good! (so is not shopping at the big and tall)

Naked, after using the bathroom.

I own a doctors scale at home. I weigh myself naked. That scale is dead-accurate and I bought it 20 years ago.

Every which way. Clothed. Naked. In light wieght robe. With things in my pockets. Without them in there. I find it fascinating how much of a difference this stuff makes. It really is about three pounds worth for me in just a pair of jeans and a t shirt with no shoes on and no cell phone or wallet. More like two pounds for the light robe. Of course I don't weigh myself after a shower anymore-- that water is just wieght! And it has to be in the morning. Before I eat or drink any substantial amount. I can weigh in at other times too, but thats the best time. And naturally, I use the toilet first (and wash my hands). My scale is accurate- it either always agrees with or is just a little bit heavier than doctor's scales. And the booklet I got from the dietician at my bariatric center says to weigh myself naked in the mornings. Its in the instructions. At first I felt guilty about it cause its illegal to go around naked outside and all so most of the time I'm clothed. But then I got over it. Now I'm wondering if my long, thick hair doesn't add a pound or something and maybe I should mentally subtract for that or schedule a haircut for cute summer do...
