Weigh yourself with clothes on after dinner and in the morning without clothes before breakfast because it's nice to feel how much weight you have lost overnight.
Never weigh yourself with wet hair (extra weight of water).
When weighing, remove everything, including glasses. Blurred vision can make the scale read lower. Don't forget the earrings; these can weigh at least a pound.
Use cheap scales only, never the professional kind, because they always fluctuate and can be a few pounds off. Use the reading to your advantage.
Always go to the bathroom first and empty yourself.
Stand with arms raised to make pressure on the scale lighter.
Don't eat or drink in the morning until AFTER you have weighed in completely.
Weigh yourself after a haircut; this is good for at least half a pound of hair (hopefully).
Exhale with all your might BEFORE stepping onto the scale to eliminate the weight of air in the lungs.
Start out with just one foot on the scale, then, holding onto the towel rack in front of you, slowly edge your other foot on and release the rack slowly. Admittedly, this takes time, but it's worth it. You will weigh at least two pounds less than if you'd stepped on normally.
