LOL I do the same thing!
Wake up
Put in contacts
Pee
Strip down
Step on scale ( just got a new Tanita scale that records your last weight under your current - like that feature (sometimes)
Go get coffee!

lol and my husband says I am bad!

I gt up, pee, then weigh in. I usually am wearing shorts and a t shirt so I don't take anything off- I tried it a few times and there really was never a difference.

NOW if I could keep losing!

michelle7 01-12-2009 04:44 PM

Oh, wait, I do get dressed again before I get coffee LOL

I am the same. Get up, pee, strip out of my PJs, step on the scale, put a dot on the weight chart I keep in the magazine holder in my bathroom. Then I put on my robe, get back into bed and wait for my morning coffee delivery -- via my much loved and appreciated husband who brings it to me in bed every morning when he hears that I am up and puttering about. We then turn on CNBC for a few minutes, to see what the markets are doing, before he leaves for work and I wake up the kids to get them ready for school. Can you say predictable?

Thats so cute that your hubby makes the coffee for you !!! awwwww....

I read somewhere your true body weight is weight after being up for 1/2 hour & on empty stomach. And you usually gain 2 or 3# during day which is what you have eaten & drank over the day.

Oh, also being naked on scales.

Ever since starting my weight loss journey some 22 months ago (:yikes: where did the time go to) I have had the same ritual every morning to weigh in. Though I only record Friday's weight for the weekly weigh in. Here is my routine.
  1. Put glasses on (blind as bat 3 and 8 look alike, not to mention the 1 and the 7!!)
  2. potty break
  3. strip off naked
  4. hop on scales

I hate it if I am sleeping at someone elses house as a guest and I can not carry out this routine :o Talk about creature of habit ;)

lol purple well you COULD- but then you might not get invited over anymore! *rofl*

purpleorc 01-13-2009 07:55 PM

:lol: Don't lead me into bad ways ;) Now don't think I haven't thought of packing the bathroom scales when staying over because I have. I have managed to avoid so far being so obsessed by the scales to the point I can not bear to be parted from them. Gosh is a road I certainly do not want to go down at anytime

A doctor once told me to only weigh myself once a MONTH. A MONTH!! His reasoning was to keep sane through the body's natural ups and downs with water etc. I see where he was coming from, but I personally need to reassurance once a week to know that I am staying on track. I go through fazes of wanting to weigh every day, or every other, and really it just makes me crazy. I try my hardest to just stick to once a week. Monday mornings.
I just bough a new scale that doesn't tell you your weight, just the amount I've lost (hopefully not GAINED)... the idea is to promote positive body image, and not to focus on the number. It hasn't come yet, so as soon as I start using it, I will be sure to let you know what I think!

that scale sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sws19 01-15-2009 03:31 PM

oh man. i just bought a scale on monday when i joined 3fc. for years i avoided having one because i felt what was important was how i looked not how i weighed. which i still believe in principle, but in the meantime i've completely blown up. i was totally blind sided when i was weighed at the doctor in october.
unfortunately, since having the scale in my bathroom, i've reverted to my h.s. habits of weighing myself numerous times throughout the day. ideally i'd like to get down to once a week.
but the first thing the morning and last thing at night weigh ins are always done in the buff.

everything minus the exhaling lol

MISFIT 01-15-2009 10:07 PM

LOL nope. I just stumble outta bed in my pajamas and weigh myself (every Thursday). I try not to depend too much on the scale. I concentrate more on my pant size.
