also key: weighing yourself at approximately the same time every day.

Posted by mafic Aug 16 '12, 08:30

or really under the same circumstances. your weight can vary by several pounds over the course of a day, so weighing yourself first thing in the morning one day, and right before you go to bed the next can be misleading.

My current scale is definitely off, though. I just weighed 2 3-lb weights. I got weights of 5.8-6.2. - kelly Aug 16, 08:50 3

  - yeah, it's a crap shoot with all bathroom scales. doctor type ones with the sliding weights are the most reliable. -- nm - zork Aug 16, 08:55
  - I would assume so. My weights stood in the same spot... -- nm - kelly Aug 16, 08:55
Preferably only once a week, too. You can really vary from day to day and it can get discouraging. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 16, 08:37
Oh yeah, I do this. -- nm - kelly Aug 16, 08:33

In the morning, before eating or drinking, after urinating, wearing the same type of clothes. -- nm - ty97 Aug 16, 08:32 2
