Scales that haven’t been calibrated recently can be off by as much as four pounds, so using a variety of scales will make it more difficult for you to monitor gains and losses.

]]> 69968 1 29 Tip To check your own scale’s accuracy, put a five-pound dumbbell or bag of sugar on it and see what reading you get.

]]> 69969 2 35 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180408/35.jpg Weigh yourself in the morning Weigh yourself at the same time every day, preferably first thing in the morning, before you eat.

]]> 69970 3 42 Tip Don’t weigh yourself right after a workout, unless you always weigh yourself right after a workout and never at any other time. Exercising makes you sweat, so the reading may reflect an inaccurate weight decrease.

]]> 69971 4 54 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180408/54.jpg Use a hard surface Keep your scale on a flat, hard surface; carpeting can affect the reading.

]]> 69972 5 59 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180408/59.jpg Pee before you weigh yourself Make sure your bladder is empty when you step on the scale.

]]> 69973 6 63 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180408/63.jpg Get naked Weigh yourself naked or in your underwear; clothes and accessories can add as much as five pounds.

]]> 69974 7 70 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/180408/70.jpg Take an average Weigh yourself on three consecutive days each week, and use the average of those numbers as your weekly weigh-in number.

]]> 69975 8 78 Fact In a study of 3,000 dieters, those who weighed themselves daily lost an average of 12 pounds, compared to a 6-pound loss for dieters who did weekly weigh-ins. Dieters who didn’t weigh themselves at all gained four pounds.
