LOL @ weighing w clothes on! Of course not!
MissJane got it right: I don't even need to take clothes or anything else off before weighing... it's after the weighing that I put on clothes and then do the BIA since that gives hands extra time to dry out more.
The only time you'd keep your clothes on (or at the very least your underwear) is when weighing in front of others: doctor's office, competition weigh-ins or a gym's locker room.
Which brings me back to how this got brought up.. I wondered if she had nothing on except her flip-flops? I'd still be too self-conscious to ever weigh myself nekkid in a gym's locker room.
I do however weigh myself on the public scale in the 'bro' gym .. then of course with ALL gym clothes on .. not so much to get an accurate reading of how much I weigh with clothes on, but to get an idea of how heavy all kind of gym equipment is.. my very first hour back in the gym was spent weighing myself plus various bars, disks and dumbbells, since that gym has a totally crazy assortment of 'stuff' of which a lot don't even have indications.. and when they do it's either kg or lbs-es..
That brings us back to the original topic.. others may have thought I was totally out of my mind when weighing myself with all that 'gym stuff'. But it was what made this gym acceptable for a precise person like me to work out in..

Maybe.. maybe not. Moistness (is that a proper word?) definitely influences conductivity. The other alternative is to not wash hands but in that case I want to go back to the bath room again (actually it's shower & toilet) since there's no sink upstairs where the scale is. Putting on clothes first is the better alternative before people think I'm totally & entirely OCD/anal retentive..
