What do you wear to get weighed?

Only take shoes off

The scales are in the hallway so typically I just jump on the scale and get weighed. Every once in a great while they ask me to remove my shoes but that hardly ever happens.

During pediatric check up i took only underwear

I just wear my clothes. I always worry about how much weight it is adding! LOL

Always weigh in with clothes on. Would like to be nude, but the doctor has never asked me

Now shoes off, but in School normally nude.

I've either been in a gown with underwear or shirtless, never been asked to be nude for weighing

My former GP had me remove my shoes, pants and sweater, so I was weighed with only my shirt and boxers on. Nowadays, the weighing is done by an assistant in a room across the hall from the actual doctor's office. Thus, I am only asked to remove my shoes

Fully clothes at the nurses desk on the way th o the exam room.

As child during a physical examination it was always only eating tighty whiteys.

I get weighed in the semi public hall way before I enter the exam room. All clothes are on.

However sometimes I take my shoes off before the weighing if I feel I've put on some extra weight.

I get weighed in my clothes, in the exam room, but I take by sneakers off.

They used to have me strip down to underwear and put on a hospital gown after the weighing and the vitals by the nurse. But they stopped doing that. I was very upset the first exam they didn't have me get undressed, but I didn't say anything. Now I get undressed and into a hospital gown anyway after the nurse leaves me alone in the exam room to wait for the doc. They don't say anything about the fact that I wasn't asked to change.

Seems like they used to be more thorough in the past. I wish they were more thorough. But they do pretty good.

When I go to Weight Watchers, I weigh-in with a tee shirt and yoga pants. Barefoot, except for peds.

I always just took my shoes off and kept my socks on, if I was told I could gain 10 pounds and still be in good shape but lose 10 and I'd be underweight, I wonder if I was actually closer to underweight than I thought because of having clothes on.

At last Thursday's physical, just like at the physical the year before, barefoot in only a jockstrap under an open disposable gown. (Blog of last Thursday has now been posted)

When I was being monitored for blood pressure med refills between these last 2 physicals on follow ups in the last year , clothes on, but I took off my shoes, and I think they said they subtracted a few for clothes.

My wife and I remove our shoes and outer garments, like coats, heavy sweaters, blazer, etc. and step onto the scale in the exam room with our clothes still on.

Over forty years ago and when eight months pregnant I was at a teaching hospital for my check up. The staff nurse took me to a side room and asked me to take everything off and then asked me to get on the scales. I just didn't know where to look when two male students were called in to check my weight. They were asked to take measurements for a particular project there had to complete. My whole check up was undertaken with me being naked during the whole session.

Normal clothes that I come in wearing.

You do not have to submit to that sort of thing or be a participant in a study.

You could have told them you won't do that.

If I am going for a physical, I weigh myself after getting out of the shower at home, make a note and tell them, I don't even bother getting on the scale wearing 15-20 lbs of clothes shoes and pocket contents, seems pointless.

15-20 pounds of clothes.

What are you wearing, an antarctic explorers snowsuit, boots and survival gear?

Very timely topic for me today. Just had my annual physical this morning.

Like many other members here, I'm always aware of the weight difference between what I weigh at home (in the nude) and at the doctor's office (fully clothed). Luckily for me it was warm enough today to be just wearing sneakers, shorts, T shirt, socks and briefs. The difference between my old "bathroom type scale weight and the doctors digital scale, was a fraction under 3 pounds.

I was very happy !!!!!! 😁

@bottomsup2000 that could be where the extra pounds came in for me! I never thought of outer clothes. I weigh myself after morning showers.

I think you're about 40 years late on the advice, Susie

A smile!

In the newly remodeled clinic I'm weighed fully dressed in the hallway. Before the remodel the scales were in the exam room. So then I was only wearing the gown and boxers

At my current doctor, I'm weighed fully clothed.

I am now weighed nude, when I am at the Doctor, by his nurse in the hall way, with a partition to shield me from others.

Fully clothed, shoes off.

Let's be honest folks. 2-3 pounds isn't going to change anything. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt standing on the scale isn't what makes you overweight.

Normally nude

Fully clothed with shoes on as well. That's usually done first thing in the office when you got called in before entering the exam room..
