November 5, 201411 yr I was wondering how do you weigh yourself to get accurate results..... clothes on or off??, they say with clothes on subtract two to three pounds...risk what do you guys do?
November 5, 201411 yr No shoes no clothes or very little clothes and my doctor said once a week too because more than that you will drive yourself insane!
November 5, 201411 yr I weigh first thing in the morning and make sure I have on the same nightshirt every single time. I only weigh on my Wii also. I don't pay any attention to scales at the doctors office. Because they will all read a little different it seems to me. I weigh twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday. I am 10 weeks post op and I have not had any stalls so far. Thank God for that.
November 5, 201411 yr I only weigh at the gym with clothes on and shoes off. I don't keep a scale at home because I would weigh myself every day and that would make me go crazy.
November 5, 201411 yr First thing in the morning, as I came out of the womb, after using the bathroom, before any food or water touches my mouth.
November 5, 201411 yr Every morning. Before any food or drink. Use restroom. Clothes off. Daily just keeps me on track because if I eat something I shouldn't or eat more than I should, it WILL show on the scale the next morning. Keeps me focused that's for sure!

November 5, 201411 yr I wake up, use the bathroom, get naked, and weigh myself every morning. This way I have a consistent record of what i weigh at the same time everyday. I write my weight down in a calendar so when I'm stuck in a stall like I have been for over a month now I can look back and see exactly how long I've been stuck. Also, weighing everyday keeps me very conscious of what I eat, so if I gain a pound one day, I'm really careful the next day and I almost always drop right back down to where I was.
November 5, 201411 yr Off, every Saturday, (no more often) after the bathroom, before coffee\breakfast.
November 5, 201411 yr Author Ok thanks because I would weigh myself twice a day and I would have different readings I would always go with the clothes on reading..idk why. ...but thanks for your input!
November 5, 201411 yr I only weigh my self about once every 2 or 3 weeks. I know I should do once a week but I don't. It's kept the first 4 months really stress free and I like the fact that usually it is a significant weight loss at weigh in time. I actually go by my doctor's office (PCP) and they let me come in to "weigh in" Even though it is not a regular doctor visit they let me do this. It keeps me going. I don't have an accurate scale at the house. I'm thinking about getting the fitbit scale in the near future.
November 5, 201411 yr I have decided to put my scale away for a while. I have been getting on it every other day. If I gain a pound or two, I am panicking and I become afraid to eat anything. That only makes it worse because I am not getting enough calories then. I am driving myself crazy. LOL! Edited November 5, 201411 yr by Essence46

Today I decided to put the scales away and not get them out for a few weeks. I have a doctor's appt next week so I'll see my progress there.
November 5, 201411 yr I weigh every morning and take measurements weekly (and record the weekly weight and measurements in a diary).
November 5, 201411 yr Off, daily before and after shower. Strangely enough, it almost always goes down about .4 after the shower unless I wash my hair. Obviously I take the lower weight and write that down.
