Friday is weigh-in day. I was 85.1 (following last week's of 85.2) *annoyed*

So I went for a swim and sat in the steam room for 10 mins.

Came home, re-weighed at 84.7.

Did I cheat the scales?

    Yes - drink a litre of water and you will be 85.7 - then you can be really annoyed!

    yes.

    Although it's only yourself and it'll only catch up with you next week when you get on the scales.

    Weigh at the same time each week and stick to it - no matter what the scales might read at the time!!
