I have skipped morning weigh in and breakfast until I "went" (if you get my drift) just in case it affected the results. I saw the craziness in my ways and have not done that since!

I don't belong to a weight loss group so I weigh only at home and only naked right after peeing and I mean right after. I weigh once first thing in the morning and then agin before my evening meal. If I'm up too much, don't ask me what "too much" is, because it depends on my mood , I eat much less for dinner.

What have YOU done that others might find funny?

That is great!!!

This reminds me of my weekly weigh-in where the scale lady says, "Feel free to take off whatever you want, but I'd appreciate it if you don't go past your undies. Of course, if you do, just don't go getting embarrassed on me." We weigh in at a health club in front of the windows to the gym.

I weigh in at home once a month. The morning of weigh in I wont drink anything at all and I have to go to the bathroom before I step on the scale.

I've definitely stuck a couple pairs of pants on my food scale to find out what the lightest option was! I'm SO glad to hear I'm not the only one! Unfortunately (fortunately?) my standard WI pants are ridiculous on me now, and I'm pretty sure it's a danger to some kind of public decency law if I wear them out of the house. So I have to wear heavier pants that actually stay on my butt

This is really dumb, but I've definitely stood in front of the sink, brushing my teeth before leaving for my meeting, wondering if the plaque I'm brushing away adds up to anything. (Of course it doesn't, but I'm owning up to the fact that I once had such a silly thought )

My Dr. is a huge stickler for weight. I have seen many of the women take off their shoes, socks, jewelry, retainers and such before being weighed. I've never bothered with it, but I do try to wear something that is light-weight.

One thing I know for sure, never eat 3 wheat pancakes and drink 5 cups of coffee on the way to the Dr.'s. Guaranteed a 5 lb. gain on the scale.

Oh the embarassment... when I weigh myself I go all out. Directly after the morning pee, pajamas come off, jewerly gone, never wet hair.
One morning I got up earlier than my roommate to check on how my diet was going secretly in the bathroom. She woke up and barged right in to use it. There naked as the day I was born sucking it in on the scale peering over my belly. (as if sucking makes you weigh less but it seems right at the time)
