    I never weigh myself with clothes on, either. At the doc's I manage to get my shoes off! It's always 2 lbs. higher. When I went to my endocrinologist a couple of weeks ago, for my osteo. check before my medication, her comment was, "your weight is extremely consistent." That was really meaningful, as I have been going there for 4 years.
    I went to and used the weight calculator from the other thread. I am at the low end of recommended weight by medical people (about 3 lbs. over the low #) and about 5 lbs. lower than the "ideal" weight that regular people thought someone of my height should have. I gave myself the extra inch, too.
    My BMI was at the low end of the normal range, where it's always been, but I just have to wonder about this. I still have some nice fat on my hips. Nothing that clothing doesn't hide, but while I look thin, I am not skinny. My goal is to get muscular, which is happening on the upper body, since I started taking the strength classes, but I never see change on my lower half, despite the zillions of squats and lunges, etc. Just my cycling thighs getting bigger!
