What have you done in the minutes before a weigh in to ensure it is at its lightest? I brushed my teeth this morning first to ensure any overnight plaque buildup would not weigh me down...

    This made me chuckle - I doubt my scales would be sensitive enough to capture this.

    I've sat for 20 minutes on the toilet in vain hpoe of shifting some...

    Also for gym weigh-ins I've taken off my Vest top (layer between the bra and tshirt) and gone for thinner socks........

    I noticed my weight was up a little the few days before that time of the month, so 2 years ago, i was taking diurex pills to get rid odd the water weight, during that week, i kept headaches, and didn't pee yellow, it was orange and the scale only dropped by maybe a few ounces, lol.. I dehydrated myself! ! So, i won't do that no more!

    I don't have a scale and weigh weekly at Boots (drug store). Since it's in public, I have to try to take off as much clothing as I can without getting kicked out of the store :blushing: Sometimes it's a bit risque.

    OK lots of these made me laugh, but this one made me laugh out loud!!!!! I can't imagine anyone standing in Boots stripping. The UK is sooooooooooooooooo conservative!!!!!

    Personally, I don't do anything. I weigh what I weigh, I can't change that, I've proved it in the past by weighing myself pre and post bowel motion in the morning, it wasn't worth it, so I don't worry. I worry if the scales move the wrong way, but nothign special before I weigh.. Thanks for my evening giggles!!

    well I only bought scales yesterday but yep, weighing was done in the buff with dry hair - first thing- and only will be from now on!

    I lost a lot of weight years ago and would make sure Id erm "been" before I weighed too.

    I've weighed completely stark naked to try and get the lightest weight... I even removed my hair pins and jewelery!!

    The flattest surface in my house is the conservatory though and let me tell you it's a way too cold out there to be naked! Won't be doing that any more!! Frostbite in delicate areas is not my goal! :laugh:

    I pretty much know what I am wearing weighs. But I still weigh myself clothed before my shower, then after go step on the scale again. Guess I am hoping that I have washed a few pounds more off. Never happens.

    LOL hilarious

    I breathe out and take off my earrings so as not keep any unnecessary air in my lungs....too heavy and all that.

    oh and I try and clear my mind too...that seems to help.

    I still weigh in stark naked..I figure my bra and pants MUST weigh something

    ...ermm I had my braids (in summer) removed to so I could weigh myself.
    Note: this took the family over 3hours to undo and another 5hours (back at the hairdressers) to get it all re-done :bigsmile: I'm not so extreme anymore
