How to use Bathroom Scales


When using bathroom scales, these simple rules must be followed:

1. Always place the scale on thick shag carpeting.

2. Hold tightly onto the sink or shower rod (both when possible) and gradually release the weight of the body onto the scale.

3. Make sure needle placement is accurate by cautiously adjusting the little round knob on the centre-front, very slowly to the left. (Zero is a wide number and should be treated accordingly.)

4. WARNING: Stay away from digital scales. (They are not properly adjustable and therefore inaccurate.)

5. Do not weigh yourself constantly. Every time you stand on the scales it stretches the little springs and wing nuts inside and slowly presses them flat - the result, even with no weight gain whatsoever, is that the scale makes you appear to weigh a little more each time.

Sleep it Off!

No, I'm not talking about the morning after a hangover this time.

I'm talking about sleep being a medically proven way to lose weight.

Think I'm kidding? Well I'm not.

Getting enough sleep will help you to shed the pounds - and conversely - if you don't get enough shut eye you could pile it on.

It's all to do with the hormones we produce when we're asleep. There's been loads of medical research on this topic - and in the USA it's being considered as a prime factor in the fight against obeisity.
