Oh yes...I'm very mindful of what I wear when going to the dr. Our company has a wellness plan...so we have to be weighed once a year....and report our wt to a 3rd party. Weight along w/ the glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol.
I go next week and have already weighed myself in two different outfits to pick the lightest one. I do care about those extra pounds from clothes. ( I know...silly).
I've always had to work to keep off weight and I try very hard to keep w/in that 5 lb gain limit. It's so much harder now that I'm over 50. I had medical issues a while back where I put on quite a bit of weight and it took forever losing it. (counting calories and running/walking).
Because it was so easy for me to gain weight and so bloomin' hard to lose weight...I'm a bit obsessive about keeping my wt below a certain # and going to the dr and being weighed w/ clothes on...after eating, etc...I fly by the certain #.
My husband...he couldn't give a rip.

The PA always tells me to remove my shoes

Absolutely not ... but this is a very interesting thread. I never realized anyone even thought about this.

Oh, yes! I love it when the weather's warmer and shoes are lighter.

I would probably be quite aware if I was wearing a winter outfit like a leather pant suit, coat, and boots. Maybe we should weigh what we wear before hand and subtract it from what the scales read.

They always tell me to take off my shoes and jacket.

Just go in a wheelchair. They won't ask you to weigh in.

No. I know I'm overweight. Another pound or two ain't going to make much difference.
