I'm afraid I'm a bit obsessed with the scale and actually do some of these things:ohwell:
Hope everyone has a good weekend- TGIF!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

BATHROOM SCALE DIET TRICKS
1. Weigh yourself fully clothed after dinner and again the next morning without clothes and before breakfast, because it's nice to see how much weight you've lost overnight!

2. Never weigh yourself with wet hair.

3. When weighing, remove everything, including eyeglasses. In this case, blurred vision is an asset. Don't forget to remove jewelry as it could weigh as much as a pound!

4. Buy only cheap scales, never the medical kind. Accuracy is the enemy and high quality scales are very accurate.

5. Always go to the bathroom first.

6. Weigh yourself after a haircut, this is good for up to half a pound of hair (hopefully).

7. Exhale with all your might BEFORE stepping onto the scale. (Air has weight, right?)

8. Start out with just one foot on the scale, then holding onto a towel rod slowly edge your other foot onto the scale while slowly releasing the towel rod. Admittedly, this takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two pounds less than if you'd stepped onto the scale normally

    I am also a scale addict...lol
    So i have my teenage boys trained to hide the scale all week and they give it to me thursday night and after I weigh in I give it back and they hide it again...
    I know this is probably dumb but it works for me....
    The boys think its funny.....:laugh:
    I would literally weigh myself every morning and it drove me nuts....

    I am definitely guilty of some of these and am a scale addict.

    all I have to say is, have you seen how thick my glasses are?! They could easily add an extra couple of pounds! :laugh:

    Since my scale is digital, I do a best 2 out of three, since it changes by the second depending on how you wrinkle your nose! :bigsmile:

    After you blow your nose you need to try to potty again, just in case.

    What size did you drink? If it was 160 oz it could weigh 10 pounds. But I'm guessing It only weighed 1 to 1 1/2 pounds

    I admit I am also an addict, I weigh myself several times a day. I have ceramic tile, and I am convinced if I put it(scale) in different squares, the results change, so the square that has better results is what I go by!
