What do you wear to get weighed?

The scales at my doctor's office are in a hallway, outside of the exam rooms.

When I'm weighed, I am fully clothed, without shoes.

Haven't been weighed any other way in years.

As a child, it was different.

I would be in panties only, and no one seemed to care that there was a half naked kid getting weighed in the hallway.

Times have changed greatly since then.

I'm weighed in whatever I'm wearing, including shoes - vitals including weight are always taken in a very shared hallway at my PCP's medical practice office.

When I get weighed at my Family doctor's I'm always wearing street clothes. The scale is in the hallway outside the exam rooms. The nurse has me remove my shoes and just step on the scale.

When I'm at my GYN's there are scales in each exam room. After I've undressed and put on the paper gown the nurse has me step on the scale and records my weight and height.

Do you mean that your wife and you are both nude to be weighed at the doctor's office or is this just at home? Nude weighing is probably not unusual at home but have not heard of adults weighed in the nude at a doctor's office.

Anyone know if the expression "strip weight' is still used? That is what some medical forms for physicals used to refer to the patient weighed nude. We had "strip weight" weigh-ins when I wrestled but "strip weight" could mean nude or wearing very little, definitely not regular clothes. Briefs or a jock strap maybe.

Not sure why but they always weigh me before we even go into the exam room with clothes, shoes and everything still on, just the way they do it, i imagine to save time.

Just like dakotasuz said, at my doctor's office they weigh me out in the hallway, as soon as they "take you back", before even going into the exam room. I always joke with the nurse that she needs to deduct 5 lbs. to take into account for my clothes ,shoes , phone ,wallet , keys, etc., but to no avail. And then they hand me that "little cup" !!!!!!!!

When I know I'm going to be weighed as part of an exam, I wear the lightest clothes, easy off sandals and try not to wear a belt or anything I can't quickly toss into my purse. Maybe a little vain but it helps.

Most of the time they weigh me with all my cloths on including my shoes. some of the time they don't want me to remove my cell phone or keys from my pockets

Usually, they get my weight in the early part, like when they do eye tests & stuff, so i'm clothed, but i take my shoes off. Sometimes they subtract like 5 pounds for clothes

10 kilograms = 22.0462 pounds!

5 pounds = 2.26796 Kilograms.

At my doctors offices (I have several) they always weigh me while I am dressed. Sometimes with my shoes on, others with them off. It depends on which I am wearing. I have a pair of sandals that weigh a ton, so I kick them off, take the keys and my cellphone out of my pockets. If I thought it would help, I would take off my hearing aids and glasses too! LOL!!

The scale is on the way to the exam rooms, so I'm still fully dressed when we stop to get my weight.

At my Dr the scales set in the hallway of the exam rooms. Sometimes they have me take shoes off and sometimes not. So i am fully clothed when weighed. I tell the nurse to take 20lbs off for clothes and shoe. She just laughs.

As a patient I was usually weighed Just in briefs or with briefs and t-shirt. As a doctor I usually weight my female patients only with pants or nude

Usually, I wear clothes. I don't remember being weighed in anything other than clothes, not even as a child (but I could be wrong there, I don't remember). Today, I had on light Capri pants, a light t-shirt and light weight shoes. I took my jacket off, put down my cell phone and keys and the scale and I STILL didn't get along with each other. Personally, I think it lies.

For real exams, I've always been clothed. (I don't think adds that much to the scale.) Though one time I was weighed while still wearing my shoes. Can't say I appreciated the extra pound or two that added on.

At the doctors office the scale is in the hallway so I am weighed in street clothes with shoes on but pockets emptied, purse and outer clothing removed.

Ever doctor's office I've ever been too has weighed me in my street clothes minus my shoes.

It is depending where and when you are weighted in my experience in France.

At a mandatory examination like a job physical examination or at a volontarily examination which took place at a medical center for a routine complete check up every two years or less frequently like it is now since a few years every five years, I have been always weigthed in underwear after undressing in a small locker room

At mandatory school physical examination a long time ago, it was in underwear or stark naked

For military service at draft physical examination and induction physical examination, it was always in the nude

And at a private doctor'office for an appointment, it was either bare chest or still completely dressed except shoes

What do I wear when getting weighed? - Answer; As little as possible, naked if I could, but that would embarrass one of the young girls who work for my doctor, and we can't have that now can we! Besides, my wife would object if I did that . . . . . oh well! So, I wear light clothes that day, empty my pockets, take off my shoes, don't eat or drink anything for a couple of hours prior, and always do a #1 and a #2 just before going in to the doctor's office.

I enjoy the idea of being weighed nude and then having all my measurements taken, even down to using a caliper for the smallest measurements. I like the idea of being naked under a gown then have it ripped off of me unexpectedly on the scale.

I wear whatever I am wearing for the appointment. I don't dress differently for weighing. I don't take my shoes off. I try not to have a bunch of heavy stuff in my pockets. In winter, I will take off my coat.

At my ob/gyn I'm always fully clothed because the scale is in the hallway and the nurse weighs me when she is taking me back to an exam room. I figure that in summer the weight is pretty accurate, but if I happened to be there in winter and wearing a heavy coat and boots the weight will be overstated.

Usually just wearing boxer briefs but occasionally it has been naked

Usually always in my street clothes in front of the nurses station/desk. Before big corporate medicine took over our town and I went to a traditional small town doctor's office; it was in a gown or my underwear. In the days of my youth I was nude with the nurse. She was present when I got undressed. She also took my vitals when I was nude. I was then helped into a gown which usually always came off during the doctor's examination with a nurse present. After I turned 13 I must have passed through some right of passage. Then, I was given the dignity of undressing in private and a gown that was worn throughout most of the exam.

Up until 7 or 10 years ago, I recall weigh ins and vitals all being done in the exam room. In the exam room, I was usually in my underwear or a gown. Now my doctor's office (same goes for other I've spoken to) does weight and vitals in a "common" room/area which obviously means I am fully clothed. Last year I went for a physical and it was the middle of February. It was cold, snow on the ground and all, so I was wearing heavy clothes and a coat. The nurse didn't even let me take off my coat for the weigh in. I weighed 12 lbs. more than my nude weight! But they logged it in anyway.

Street clothes (minus my heavy shoes - lol).

The scale and height ruler are located in the main hallway that all the exam room branch from. Interesting question...

I'm usually weighed in street clothes, without the need to remove them until later.

I'm always weighed in my clothes before being asked to undress completely and slip on the gown.

Street clothes, minus my shoes and wallet.
