When you <a href="http://coachlevi.com/health/when-to-weigh-yourself/" rel="nofollow">weigh yourself</a>, you want to eliminate as many variables as possible. This test takes place over a short time period so you don't have to worry too much, but you definitely don't want to have clothes on, especially for the post-workout weigh in (when your clothes are soaked in sweat.) As such, you wouldn't want any clothes on for the pre-workout weigh in or you'll skew the results. @Sara
