Important Information from Weight Watchers:
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.
• Salt and carbohydrate intake can affect the body’s water retention.
• A large meal adds weight and can cause water retention.
• Dehydration from exercise, illness, or low fluid intake can result in
weight loss.
• Muscle is also a factor. Heavy-duty resistance training can build muscle,
which can affect weight.
• The menstrual cycle can cause temporary weight gains and losses.
When You’re Losing Weight
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.
Don’t overdo it!
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.
again. The scale is now ready for you to weigh yourself and to

accurate when weighing a stationary object. To ensure the most accurate
readings for 99% of your total body weight, always try to stand on the

on the scale exceed the scale’s capacity, you may see an error message
”ERR”.
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 sub-
merged in water. Clean with damp cloth and/or glass cleaner.
In the unlikely event that the scale battery malfunctions and needs to be
replaced, lift the snap on battery cover on the bottom of the scale and
replace the old
battery with a 3V Lithium battery (CR2032).
Dispose of the old battery properly. Do not attempt to open the
scale or to remove any components. Servicing should be done by
qualified technicians only. See warranty information below.

When You’re Maintaining Weight
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:
• Weigh yourself more often than once a week.
• Use the “5-pound rule” – research shows that people who keep weight
within a 5-pound range are more likely to maintain a healthy body
weight over the long term.
