    LOL! This is great...

    Removing excess weight by removing nail polish doesn't do much, but hey, you never know! When I cut 14 inches off my hair, I didn't even lose 1/2 pound. It didn't even show on the scale, at all!

    However, a good pee or a nice bowel movement will help! :bigsmile:

    Make sure you spit a lot to get rid of that excess saliva weight.

    I was so disappointed last time I cut my hair that the scale didn't go down, LOL.

    I put my arms over my head when I weigh. The scale doesn't register the extra weight because of the distance.

    I've discovered that I subconsciously try to levitate while on the scale. Give it a whirl!

    But you know, dry that hair because you don't need that water weight!

    LMAO at this thread!!!! Hmm, next time I weigh in I will definitely have to remove my specs.... well, if the extra weight of them doesn't help, the fact I won't be able to read the result might! :wink:

    Don't put on antiperspirant, hairspray or perfume. Every little bit helps!
