-I wake up
-go to the bathroom push out every possible thing I can from my bladder and bowels... LOL
-wont drink or eat a bite until I've weighed in
-strip down naked no socks even
-take out any hair bands bobby pins what ever I might have in my hair
-remove all jewelry including wedding rings- oh and my glasses..lol
-fully exhale-hold breath
-step on the scale....LOL
-repeat until i get the same number twice! LOL

I do the bathroom routine and not eating thing, but none of the other stuff. I used my Wii Fit, it is closer to the doctor's scale than my regular scale. It also lets me put how much to take off for clothes (I always take off two pounds). I like that it keeps track of my weight and gives me a little graph showing how much I have lost (or gained if it is that time of the month).
I never even thought of fully exhaling. ahahaha You guys are too funny. Now I'm so going to do that. I wake up, get the coffee on, go to the bathroom, get naked, scale. Every morning.
The fully exhale is news to me too. That's hilarious!
My routine is steps 1-5 like miriam. (I do hold my breath now that I think about it!) Every morning when I'm "on" program.
I hide the scale when I'm not.
hehe- glad I'm not the only one! I use my Wii Fit too! it's sooo much more precise then my regular scale! plus is measures ounces too! Gotta love that!
I do many of the things the rest of you do but I always step off the scale and say to myself "lets check that again and make sure its right" and then I weigh myself one more time. Don't ask me if I have ever got back on a third time lol.
1. Drag myself out of bed and head to toilet.
2. Make sure hubby didn't pee on the seat in the middle of the night.
3. Clean seat if necessary.
4. Do my biz.
5. Brush Teeth.
6. Get nakie.
7. Step on scale.
8. Shower.
9. Potentially hit the potty again.
10. Step on scale again.
I only count my Friday weigh-ins as "official", but I do tend to take a peek every day.
1. stumble to bathroom
2. put in contacts
3. strip if not already nekid
4. weigh
5. pee
6. weigh again, and again, and again.
7. get ready for work
Yes, I weigh at least 4 times before I hit the shower...LOL. First weigh is to prep me for potential bad news - I see the first number and know that the second number HAS to better than that, so I still feel somewhat like a winner, no matter what the final number is! I weigh at least three times after I pee to try and get a consistent number - I live on an earthquake fault area and all the tile in my house is textured, so it's hard to get a smooth surface for weighing. As anal as it is, I just feel better getting the same number three times. I've tried different scales (digital and old-school) but still have the same problem, so I just live with the process.
ETA: I also crack my neck as I breathe a few times deeply before I jump on and hold my breath. I close my eyes (still with all breath pushed out of my lungs) and open my eyes to reveal the number.

I weigh in around 11 a.m. at my TOPS meeting so I do wear clothing for it. I also eat breakfast, the same thing as most other days. I always make sure I pee before I get on the scale though. I do tend to wear the same pants each week. I wear a tshirt which I have plenty of and they all weigh the same. I do take off my shoes or birkenstocks. Glasses come off but I don't know why, I can't see the numbers without them.
what is your weigh in routine?
That's hilarious!
