Important Information Concerning
Weight Management
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 ef-
forts. 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.
Before Using Scale
1. Set switch on the base of scale to measure in kg (kilograms) or lb (pounds).

Facts You Should Know
Your Weight Watchers scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate
when weighing a stationary object. To ensure readings that are 99% accurate, 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 unlikely event that the scale battery needs to be replaced (display shows “LO”), lift
the snap-on battery cover on the bottom of the scale and replace the old battery with
a 9V lithium battery.
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.
• Once a week, on the same day of
the week
• At the same time of day
• In the same place
• Wearing the same clothes
• Using the same scale
