    Before going to the doctor's office to weigh in. Put my regular pair of pants with the 40 keys, change, and heavy objects in a bag and carried it with me to change into afterwards. I've weighed these before. They weigh 10+ pounds. I wear a different pair of jeans without all the stuff.

    What My Scale Might Say If It Could Talk:

    Get off! Get off! Get off!”
    “Maybe you’re just retaining fat.”
    “They say any loss is a good loss. How’s about -.00001 lbs.?”
    “Here comes the pain!”
    “Round and round she goes, where she stops, nobody knows.”
    “When you lose, you take all the credit; when you gain, ya blame me!”
    “Looks like you’ve got Dunlap’s Disease. Your belly’s done lapped over your belt.”
    “Ummmmph!”
    “On the moon, you’d only weigh 43 pounds.”
    “Why don’t you try again… maybe it’ll be drastically lower.”
    “And you thought nobody saw you eat those chips…”
    “Good news: you’re still beating anorexia!”
    “Does this number make you look fat?”
    “Tippin’ is encouraged. Get it, get it? Tippin’ the scales… ah, you don’t know funny.”
    “Are you a glutton for punishment or just a regular glutton?”
    “For God’s sake–will you please put on some underwear?”
    “BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….”
    “Let’s say we just call it two hundred and plenty?”
    “I’ve got an idea: today I’ll stand on you and call you a f*ckin’ b*tch.”
    “Say, are you losing weight?

    Gets me every time :)

    I take off my socks and sweatpants. I always pee right before! Sometimes, you know, I'll do ten or so jumping jacks just in case :) haha! This topic is making me smile :)

    Love reading all these posts! I have to say I only weigh in once per week, same clothes as my initial weigh in, first thing in the am, and the scale must sit on the exact same square tile as it did the first time.

    That's the absolute same as what I do!! Lol

    First thing in the morning, after using the bathroom, disrobed. I also move the scale around if I don't like what I see, but that hasn't worked yet! I'm having a total hip replacement next week and yep... I googled to see how much it weighs! (1-2 pounds!!!). I might have to reconsider having this done! :noway:

    LOL these are great

    I always go to the bathroom first, then strip down to weigh myself; always before I eat or drink anything first thing in the morning.


    I have the same exact routine!! LOL. Nice to know I'm not the only one! :laugh:

    Not sure I've done any silly things before a weigh in... but reading some of the previous comments, some of them aren't silly.

    It's a fact that your body absorbs moisture from a shower, even if you dry your hair afterward you're still going to weigh more because of the water the cells have soaked up in your skin.

    I weigh myself first thing in the morning (after using the toilet and before the shower) stark naked. It's the truest indication of your base weight, I think. You fluctuate throughout the day depending on a lot of things.

    Sounds silly but I lifted a foot off the scale, I know it doesn't make a difference. I also wear nothing and pee first.

    I always weigh first thing in the morning with no clothes on and that in it'self is a little obsessive, HOWEVER, one morning we all woke up later than usual, and my son had to make it to school, so I ran downstairs to start breakfast and in my rush only realized I hadn't weighed yet when I put my first bite in my mouth - so I quick spit it out and rushed upstairs to weigh before breakfast!!

    Umm... This is silly but not in a good way: I forgot it was weigh in and drank 32 ounces of water. That sucked.
