As you may have guessed this is about weighing myself.
When I weighed on Monday I had jeans and a jumper and shoes on.
What do you think these weigh?
I have no sclaes at home and just wanted to estimate my actual real weight.
What figure do you think?

I always allow 2lbs for clothes and 1lb for shoes= 3lbs altogether- not in the least bit scientific though!
 
I think you need to allow 2-3 pounds for your jeans and jumper. I always make sure I get weighed in my lightest possible clothes. Sometimes withour jewellery and underwear as my CDC scales are so accurate!!!
 
OMG always take shoes off and make sure i have a wee first !
 
HI There

My CC said to allow 2- 4 pounds for your clothing - of course depending on what you are wearing.

I took off my boots when I got weighed cause my boots alone way 2.3 pounds! :eek: solid black heels! LOL

I didn't want any added weight to my already large total! LOL

Remember if you are going to weigh yourself - do it the same time each day because your weight changes throughout the day - especially if you are drinking alot of water!

Water weighs alot, I would love to know how much water actually weighs and effects the total of your weigh ins.
 
I'm really obssesive about what clothes I weigh in with! I won't wear jeans as they weigh loads more! Never wear shoes or jewellery!! Even wear trainer socks...not normal socks!!

I would say a light outfit would weigh 2lbs but jeans, jumper and shoes will easily weigh 4lbs!

I weigh at home (naked!) and I weigh 4-5lbs less on my own scales than on my CDC's with all my clothes on.

Hope this helps x
 
I can weigh upto 4lbs heavier at night after drinking all my water...but 100 wees later in the morning it's gone!

I always weigh myself when I get up everyday!
 
Just to let you know a 2 ltr plastic bottle of water weighs 2lbs, there for if you drink 4 ltrs in a day plus shakes etc you can weigh up to 6lbs heavier in the evening, never weigh at different times!!!
 
Kangy - Your post made me laugh out loud and now people in the office want to know what's so funny!!!!

Thanks for making me laugh

Might go and sort through the wardrobe tonight, see what light clothes i can find for my weigh in monday.
I remember when i was at weightwatchers i did actually weight my clothes on the kitchen scales before i went for the weigh in. God i was an absolute nutter!
