Eggzaktly. I moved my scale to different places with major differences in scale weight.

Another tip is to weigh yourself on the SAME SCALE THREE TIMES. Zeroing it first, of course. Sometimes, you might get a different reading. If you do, simply zero the scale again, step on, and if it's still way off, take the median of all the readings. Great tips!

+ you can test the accuracy of your scale with weights (although i’m not sure if there are minor discrepancies between brands for weights, and i wouldn’t doubt it). or if you have an object and you know for a fact is weighs x, you could use that. and it’s important to know where to put your weight - shifting pressure from your heels to the balls of your feet can give a different reading

I needed this. Its wayyy too easy to get fixated on what the scale says.

It's so hard for me to not freak out when the number on the scale goes up!

I have not been able to budge lower than 200 lately, so I started not looking at the scale as often. My body has hit a plateau. I’m changing it up, hitting the gym, weights, machines, different foods...etc. I was 291 now I’m 200. Lost 91 pounds in 1 yr and not stopping!

Reshme Farah it’s not a bad thing, until you get obsessed with weighing yourself, then it can actually mess with your brain and mental health and you can become addicted. It makes you think you are heavier than you are or that you are bigger than you are.

Watching extreme weight loss over and over motivated me and I. Now training 6 days a week and I’ve had tremendous results💕 thank you guys for doing what you do.

That's why I take my measurements once a month. (plus weight, but it's less important to me). Measurements don't lie.

Even when I’m not losing weight (plateau) I feel and sometimes see my body changing. I’ve been 142 this whole month and I’m not able to break it lol. My body might just want a breather, I’ve been on a weight loss journey for almost a year and have lost 63 pounds. Trying to be happy with my progress instead of upset that I still have 12 more to go.

This is so so important! I was just talking about this with a co-worker recently. This is exactly what I was telling her from what I learned during my transformation. You don't need to weigh yourself everyday! Once a week, same time and measure yourself also. I found the scale would be only half a pound, to no different or even up but I'd lost 1-2 inches which showed I was making progress. The NSV are the most important part of any journey!

Heidi, do a video on rebounding. Rebounding is the one exercise I can stick to, because I'm a stay at home mom, home-school and babysit Littles, it is hard to get out the door. I generally do a very active health bounce for about 50 min. 5 days a week. Muscles popping out in my arms, abs and legs with this alone! I am curious about how many calories that would burn. My body is historically sluggish. I gain slowly, but rarely lose. I am now up 100 lbs overweight. Would love advice. I began rebounding in Feb. and dropped some pounds but they keep dancing back and forth. Trying to get the right combo for my body. (btw, I am hypo-thyroid). Thanks for the above video. Very well said.

This was a great video, very informative. I went on the scale yesterday and I was 67. Literally don't know how this is possible because I was 76 like 2 days ago. The scale has been in the exact same spot both times I have weighed myself. It makes me so confused.

I go on the scale first thing in the AM after I empty. A few times after I weigh myself I will go back to bed without drinking or eating. Get back to use the bathroom hope on the scale and somehow the weight went up! So definitely how my clothes fit is the most important to me

Thanks so much

So glad I seen this! I can easily let the number on the scale get into my head. It actually did this morning and I meal prep eat very healthy and also very committed to exercising. I had a baby 6 months ago and I'm way to hard on myself not being at my pre pregnancy weight. Love your channel! Just subscribed!

I need this. The scale doesn't seem to budge though I can see the difference in my body.

Hello Heidi I have seen your video where you say about scales, that we can't trust the scale. I agree with you because when I stand on the scale my weight is different. And I weigh myself three times to understand my weight, and for this three and because of this time the scales show three different weights myself

Thanks !!! I kind of hate the scale. it made me always feel crappy...

When I needed to lose weight I bought a bathroom scale and during the first eight days my readings were confusing, too many ups and downs of 2 to 3 kilos. Then I realized that the scale reads differently when the ambient temperature changes abruptly between the drawer in which I place my scale and the floor. So I learned to rest the scale a minute or two before stepping on it. In addition, I take three or four consecutive readings and take the average. Just to be safe. By the way. I weigh myself without clothes on.

Taylor scales have been my nemesis. They usually say I’m lower.

Also common for a lot of women to retainin more water a few days to a week before the period starts do to pms. Magnesium supplements helped me a bit with that but not 100% so I don't see a point in checking my weight during that time except if I wanted to know just how much extra water I retained that month, but it's not fun seeing the number go up even knowing the reason for the gain

I weigh myself in the morning after I've empty my bowels and bladder twice.

I have lost 6.5lbs in 4 months on slimming world. I'm a yoyo. gain lose gain lose. Hoping for my stone award next week but im sick (full of a cold) and I binged on Monday night! I've got a target and its 204lbs (14lbs lighter). Then its onederland in 5 weeks time! I'm kicking ass

When is it a right time to weighing? In the morning when you wake up or at night before bed ?

I just had a Nurse Practitioner tell me to eat less, because I weigh 166 lbs (I also have more muscle than I've ever had, even when I studied dance in college, but do they consider this?) I love this. I joined NOOM, weighing myself every, single day, hated it; and I now know that I have circulation issues and I retain water, I weigh 20 plus lbs more than I have my whole life, never really varied for over 35 years, never counted calories, just focused on eating more good carbs than bad, felt I was in a place to help others be healthy like ME; then third surgery, health issues, 25 lbs up in a year; told I am overweight by the doctor; water weight is real... wearing compression socks my calves are about half the size. But.. yeah, I always have been eating around 1300 calories, and that was NOOM's super fast bunny "lose weight fast" calorie recommendation... I was shocked being that low calorie was my "normal" day, I hardly changed a THING- ugh.. Praying I figure out if I should be eating so much salt, see a doctor people... I have over-eaten here and there, I have pizza like once every THREE months and gorge on it, yes, but NOT even every month- but I think my body is really retaining water because of my health issues... that apparently need more salt to not feel faint? Ugh.

my scale is for sure broken. I usually weigh 60kg. but a few days ago when i weighed myself is said 48 kg and that’s not accurate at all. and now when i weighed myself i weigh 56kg. it’s really frustrating not knowing my weight

I have the first scale... The highest... I’m wondering now if I should get another

I weigh myself around a week after my period has ended, first thing in the morning before having water and after using the bathroom, on the bathroom floor, naked, in an upright posture and it's always been correct.
