    I have used the wet hair excuse -- though, to be fair, I used to have hair that hung down past my waist and was very thick and held a LOT of water. XD

    I also find myself sucking in my gut when I get on the scale -- like it's going to help! *facepalm*

    I'll add one:

    Someone moved my scale to a different part of the floor which isn't as balanced and where I didn't weigh yesterday and it was lined up perfectly for me! +3 or +2 or -1 or -5 or +6...:tongue:

    I don't tolerate any excuses made in my head in that regards so I don't dare make any :laugh:

    Weigh in. Log. Move on. That's what I always do

    HAHA.

    Once I didn't poop for 10 days straight (yes, I know) and I still stand by that it legitimately warranted a 20 lb advantage.

    I give myself a 2lb advantage if I'm wearing jeans rather than my usual weigh-in outfit (dress and tights which barely weigh anything).

    No excuses for me, but sometimes i step on the scale on my tile floor, and one of the little legs it stands on will shift down into the grouted area, and read a weight that is 10 LBS off. I usually get really excited or disappointed for just a flash, then i realize what happened.

    turns out people who don't have a bowel movement at least once a day can carry up to 9 lbs of fecal matter in their intestines.

    eat your fiber!!!

    LoL...I so do that, as thought it gives me an advantage..lol although the scale feels the weight as opposed to watching me.. too funny, too real!:laugh:
