When weighting your self how much should you allow for clothing.?

Answer 1

I don't. I'm not exactly sure why this is so important to women. I joined weight watcher in April and have made my weekly meeting ever week and each week I just stand on the scale with what ever is on my body at the time. The women, who make up most of the group, strip as much off as they can get away with before they get on the scale. People see you clothed most of the time anyway.

Answer 2

Uncomplicate it for yourself and don't wear anything when you weigh yourself (put on a bathrobe and nip into the bathroom if you wish to spare your blushes). That way you can't use your heavy top as an excuse if you really are piling on the pounds.

Furthermore, only weigh yourself first thing in the morning before you eat anything - bodily fluid levels, weight of undigested food and other factors can vary during the day and influence your overall mass.

Answer 3

Put the kind of clothes + shoes that you normally wear into a bag and weigh the bag. Then you'll know.
Also weigh an empty bag so that you know how much to allow for that.

Answer 4

You should weigh yourself first thing in the morning after using the bathroom. Clothing definitely plays a minor role - not more than like 0.4-0.8 pounds!

Answer 5

3 lbs

Answer 6

Typically about 5 lbs. That depends on if you are wearing jeans or shorts and a tank.

Well that's what I've always been told!
