    The night before I got my measurements taken for my body fat percentage for the Army, I rubbed hemrhoid ointment all over my stomach, hips, and thighs and wrapped myself with saran wrap and an ice bandage as tightly as I could stand it. Before doing that, I took about 4 laxatives. I don't recommend that many laxatives, but I absolutely had to pass my body fat or I would have been kicked out. Luckily, it worked.

    Not me, but when I was doing WW a fellow member was really close to getting her 50 pound rewards....so she admitted to bringing her kitchen scale into her closet and weighing all outfit choices to get the absolute lightest outfit.

    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.

    I have previously considered amputating part of my body..... :smile: :wink:

    Does Trimming your nails count as amputation before weighing in??? I've totally done that.

    Go to the bathroom. Every ounce counts. Food in, Food out!

    I was competing at my workplace in a weight loss competition and needed to lose ounces to break even with my #1 competitor so I went to the ladies room, peed and removed my undergarments (slip and underwear). It worked, we tied for first place and bought doughnuts for everyone.

    this actually makes a signficant difference for me, so I don't see why it's silly. I've taken a pill (not a laxative, but like an herbal supplement that has a lot of fiber) to go to the bathroom before weighing in, and peed multiple times, and since I weigh myself in the morning, done a late night workout with lots of clothes on to sweat extra.

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

    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.

    when I was on the wrestling team, one bizzar thing everyone would do before a weigh in, myself included, was to stand on your head for long periods of time. I don't know what the logic was behind it but we all did it anyways

    Always weigh naked. Always take a no.1 and 2 before a weigh in. Always have an empty stomach.
