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.
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.
Facts You Should Know
Your Weight Watchers scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accu-
rate 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
. Should the
weight 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 submerged in water.
Clean with damp cloth and/or glass cleaner.
In the event that the scale batteries needs to be replaced, (display shows “Lo”),
open the battery cover on the bottom of the scale and replace the old batteries
with two new 3V lithium batteries.
Dispose of the old batteries properly.
Do not attempt to open the scale or to remove any components.
Servicing should be done by qualified technicians only. See warranty infor-
mation below.
