    Good thing I no longer have tonsils. Also, I'll have to weigh myself after I get my hair trimmed. Which reminds me to remind you: Don't weigh yourself until your hair dries! This can really screw with your weight if you have long hair. My house is cold, though. Weighing without clothes is too much to ask. I love my fuzzy pajamas.

    Exfoliate. Sit in the sauna and sweat it out. No hair products! Men especially--all that hair gel gets heavy!! Oh, and you should only weigh in when there is a new moon, because clearly that is when the moon exerts the least gravitational force... :-D

    Make sure your scale is balanced, in the same spot each weigh in, and take the best weight out of three times in a row.

    Weigh yourself at the same time each morning right when you wake up nude after you pee.

    Right on! My scale is a bit temperamental. I step on the scale several times. I take the weight once it agrees with itself three times. I think it's due to it getting "off" if I pick it up before it's actually turned off. So that's another one. Make sure there's a completely flat floor... or that your floor has a slant which favors you.

    If you're a breastfeeding mama, make sure to feed/pump before stepping on the scale. ;)

    LMAO! Sadly, I actually do this! Those ounces do add up! And Yes.... I'm serious! lol

    Oh, I do it too! And some of the other suggestions! hahaha :tongue:

    The only rule that makes sense is the third one. Everything else is just crazy and excessive.

    I think you may need to check the batteries in your sarcasm detector.....:wink:

    Ok, so I'v shaved my head/body, gotten rid of unnecessary organs, sold my soul, cleaned my belly button, trimmed my nails, scrubbed away the dead skin, lost my sense of humor.... and I'm still fat. Now I look ridiculous.

    I think I just timp. (Tinkled in my pants).

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Me too!!!!!!!


    Me three! Added weight loss!

    Talk to the scale, build a rapport. Love it, and squeeze it, and call his name George... Or Pedro if you are Hispanic like me.

    I named mine Fredrico...does that count?? We have a good long talk about how he needs to support me a little more every week, but sometimes he doesn't listen. What if I traded him in for a female scale? Do you think she would understand a little more?

    Yes, I do think a female scale would be a bit more understanding - BUT may be more in tune with its emotional side as well which could go either way.....

    That's true, Sarah... If I mad her mad, she may just add a few extra lbs as revenge. Hmmm...

    I might just get a few organ removed and shave my hair, as others have mentioned. Sounds like a good plan to me. And I sure don't need my left hand, so I'll just get rid of that too!

    best way to get at that damn scale is to adjust it before you begin...move it back 20lbs or so..then come back later that day step on it without looking and just look at the final number :)

    I like your train of thought dj...hmmm, I have a digital scale so I don't know if it will work though. Maybe if I hang on the towel rack to hold myself up a bit the number will go lower....I could probably do it that way. :laugh:

    Hold as many helium balloons as can fit in the room with you.

    What kind of rope/string should I use? Should I stick with the little string that's usually handed out with them? Maybe I could use some type of twine? Or would that be extra weight added on?? Should I use a specific color balloon? 'Cause I know that the dye to color those balloons can't be weightless!

    This is all so confusing! :sad:

    Sewing thread, very short sewing thread. Balloons can be any color, you just need a really big room so more balloons will fit. If you can rent an outdoor stadium that would be perfect.

    Use a netti-pot to clear out those sinuses. And an enema to clear out other parts.

    I think you want the opposite - so weigh yourself on the full moon. If the moon is exerting gravitational force, then it is pulling you away from the Earth.

    You can always drink some olive oil the night before.
