Default The Naked Weigh-ins

I get on the scale mornings before I eat anything. I know weight fluctuates but without clothes, same time of day, etc I can get a good idea of what I weigh before I drink a glass of water or put on a pair of jeans.

I've been attending WW meetings but am switching to online plan. I do expect to go to a meeting once in awhile (every 4-6 weeks).
My question is: should I continue to record in my tracker my weight with clothes on (as if I am still regularly attending mtgs), or only record my am weight? I wanted to switch to just recording my am weekly weight but because I'll still be popping in to meetings this will screw up my chart (will always get logged as a weight gain when I attend a meeting since my clothes would be another 1.6-3 pounds.

Thoughts?

I would stick with one scale for the "official" weigh-ins.

Me too I weigh in every (sunday) morning without clothes before anything else. One of my friend told me to just weigh in every same time of the day of your supposed weigh in. So that's what I have been doing ever since.

I was sporadic for a while with meetings (first from stuff going on in the fall, which led to kind of falling out of habit). When I enter weights on etools, instead of putting what the scale says, I subtract my weekly loss from my WW weight. So if, say, I have an 0.8 loss for the week going by the scale, I go into etools and look at current weight, subtract 0.8 from that. That number runs about 1.4 higher than what the scale reads. But when I do go to a meeting, weighing in doesn't throw everything off.

There can be a little hiccup here and there since it's two different scales, but my scale is generally really good at matching up with the one at the meetings.
