Not really. Try weighing yourself with your normal amount of clothes (shirt, jeans, shoes) and then again without anything. For me, it usually shows less than a 1.5 lb difference.

Yes, clothing makes a difference on the scale. It could be the difference of 5 to 15 lbs. The best way to get an accurate weight step on the scale naked,if possible. The other method is water submersion test.
It is a test that places you in a tank of water, while sitting on a special scale and you have to exhale all the air out of your lung for 30 seconds. It will then tell you exactly what your weight is and give you a body fat percentage.

if u are wearing heavy clothing then yes it does make a difference. but don't blame the clothing if you think you are supposed to be 100 lbs. but end up being 120. it's not the clothing...it's you. lol. clothing usually adds about 1 pound at the most to the scale.

Clothing with shoes weigh in at about 4 lbs.

Depends on what clothes--if you're wearing heavy boots and parka, scarf, hat, underclothes and other clothes on top, it can be some serious weight. If you're dressed relatively normally, you can figure about 4 pounds with your shoes off.

no when the doctors weight u, they dont make you take your clothes off, then go home and weigh yourself, you'll weigh the same. Or try it at home. Just dont have anything in your pockets or shoes

It depends how suicidal you are feeling. Are you going to burst if you see that extra 4 lb. or can you live with it. I mean some people might be okay with 400 lbs. but not 404 lbs.

Yes, it does. A pant, some shoes, and a belt can put a good 10+ lbs on you.
