How to Measure Weight on a Scale
When keeping track of your weight, consistency is key. From the moment that you get up in the morning until the time you go to bed at night, your body's weight is constantly fluctuating as it digests, processes and eliminates. Your weight may vary during a day by up to seven pounds. Thus, it is important to stick to a specific plan when measuring your weight using a scale.

Tips & Warnings
Removing all of your clothes before weighing yourself ensures that you are weighing only your body and no excess materials. You want to make sure that your scale is on a hard floor such as wood or linoleum; carpeting is a less stable surface and can skew the weight results.
