How do you weigh yourself?

When you say you weigh x, is that with clothes or without clothes?

Do you measure naked?

Do you subtract x pounds for clothes from your measured weight?

Do you always use the same/similar set of clothes for consistency?

Do you think clothes weigh so little it doesn't matter what you do?

Do you carry lead weights in your pockets?

I sit in a centrifuge and measure how long it takes to get to exactly 88mph, then I use that and the motor's power output rating to calculate the rotational inertia and use that to derive mass, then multiply that by 9.8 m/s^2

...and I do that naked.

if you're trying to lose weight, all that matters is being consistent to get an accurate measure from week to week.

I've found the easiest way to do that is to weigh myself naked, first thing in the morning, right before jumping in the shower.

because my weight tends to fluctuate a decent amount on a day-to-day basis (or even on an hour-to-hour basis sometimes) I only "count" my weight once/week even if I'm getting on the scale every morning.

First thing in the morning, after a pee, and always in my boxers.

That would result in unsurvivable G, not to mention the potential of getting lost in time. How do you compensate for that? is there a water chamber in the centrifuge to compensate for the G? in that case the purity of the water is very important for the calculation...

It has a larger radius than your typical centrifuge.

Jammies, first-ish thing in the morning, once my eyes are open enough that I can see the numbers on the scale.

When I remember to. It doesn't really matter to me, since my weight is always going to be around 175 with or without clothes on. If I see a 16x or 18x, then I'll start to do something about it.

If your weight varies so much, then you want to have more "counts", not less.

Only time I get weighed is if I have a doctor's appointment. My weight does not seem to fluctuate much.

Why would you weigh yourself with bunch of variables?

You always weigh yourself first thing in the morning, with just a boxer on or nothing.
