Silly things you have done before a weigh in?

I don't think this actually helps, but I always weight naked and lift up my boobs while I'm doing it.

I may give this one a try in the morning.... sounds logical, right? :bigsmile:

I never shower the night before a weigh-in. I was told taking a bath or shower before a weigh-in can make you weigh more. I weigh naked after I go to the bathroom.

I've got so much hair that I won't even bother weighing myself if it's wet. I also take off as much as I can. Luckily I weigh myself at home!

I remember one morning, before a weigh in at the OB/GYN when I was probably around 28 wks pregnant, I was so tired of hearing "you really shouldn't be gaining this much weight," I decided to eat a very small amount the night before and drink decaf tea that morning. That was the one and only time I got morning sickness. Never happened again. I dealt with the slaps on the wrist with a full tummy after that.

On my scale it does work! By like a 4lb difference! My scale is all wonky. I either lift my boobs or suck in really hard and the weight changes.

In the past I would weigh myself if I wasn't happy with the result I would keep moving scales to different parts of the floor to get a better weight :-P

Hahah, I love this!

I'll move the scale around too to see what the difference is...

I take off all jewelry, make sure I've gone to the restroom, and strip. I have shaved my legs before it though! =]

Great topic Op!

Really funny comments. Funny things you do when you have scale madness.
I have tried most them all, lol.

Aww thanks *blush

Haha. Love this thread. Sadly, I'll now be adding a whole host of new routines to my usual weigh in ritual.

Thanks for the "tips". Shaving my legs and holding my boobs up on Saturday. But I'll shave the night before so I'm completely dry. And maybe do an extra long workout....

I agree with Canadiandee--- I did some of these before, but now I have so many new ideas on what I should do for the future

Weigh early in the morning and do it stark naked. Make sure you pee and preferably poop before hand.

Sla6adm · January 2013

Get on the scales very, very delicately so as to avoid the weights shuddering and giving a bigger reading!

I love this! I do all of these! Use the restroom, get on and off several times, weigh in the nude, never with clothes on, try weighing on the flatest surface in the house, never after washing my hair, wait till its dry, don't eat...................... I'm glad to see I'm not alone!
