Your scale is the best tool for monitoring weight. While not the only measure of weight loss, scales are the most popular method used to gauge weight-loss success. A scale measures the sum of your total body weight, which includes bone, muscle, fat, and water.
Body weight fluctuates during the day, and from day to day, depending on a variety of factors.
It's important not to put too much stock in the exact number on the scale, because it can and will vary. This is especially true when you're dieting. Small weight gains and losses are common as your body adjusts to fewer calories and more exercise. Your scale is a valuable tool when used to track weight over a period of weeks and months. Be aware that different scales often give different results. The scale at your doctor's office may show one weight, and your scale at home another. So don't get too caught up with a single number.
While a scale can be a useful tool on your weight loss journey, it's not a complete program for losing weight.

A surefire way to get overly concerned with your weight is to weigh yourself too often. We generally recommend weighing yourself no more than once a week when you're dieting. Though it's hard to stick to this pattern, it's the best way to prevent unnecessary concern with normal weight fluctuations, which are unrelated to your weight-loss efforts. Regardless of your weighing habits, it's important that you're consistent.
Here are 5 rules for effectively monitoring your weight – weigh yourself:
To keep track of your weight, record only one number for the week.
This will give you a clear picture of any trend your weight is following.
Fluctuations in day-to-day weight tend to be smaller when weight is stable, so a more frequent weigh-in pattern is helpful. To maintain a stable weight:
Your Weight Watchers scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when weighing a stationary object. To ensure accurate readings, always try to stand on the same area of the scale platform and DO NOT MOVE. The minimum weight capacity for this scale is 5kg and the maximum weight capacity is 182kg. Any weights below or above these amounts will result in an "Err" message.
Electronic sensors are sensitive. Be careful not to drop or jar the scale.
Place it gently onto floor surface, and store where it will be protected from impact.
The scale is an electronic instrument and should never be submerged in water. Clean with damp cloth.
The scale should not be used on carpet.
Firmly and Sharply tap the centre of the scale with your foot
NB - This scale is equipped with a memory feature. If weighing yourself again within 30 seconds, the scale will show the same weight, if the new weight is only a small difference (less than approx 0.5kg or 1.0lbs).
To apply stickers, simply peel sticker off the paper backing and place on scale. Press down. If you find that air bubbles are hard to remove, try making the back of the sticker slightly wet (you can use a damp paper towel) and then apply. Use a stiff object (credit card, cardboard) to smooth out air bubbles. When you change stickers, put the used sticker back on the paper. If your stickers ever get dusty and they adhere less well, simply wipe them with a damp paper towel.
Battery Notes:
Remove and replace battery.
When replacing the battery, make sure you dispose of the old battery in accordance with applicable regulations. It should be disposed of in a location specifically designated for that purpose so they can be recycled safely and without posing any risk for the environment. Do not burn or bury the battery.
