Helpful Hints
Bariatric scale is a precise measuring instrument that is most accurate when weighing a stationary object. To ensure the most 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 oor 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 only.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MANAGING YOUR WEIGHT
Diet, exercise, and determination all play a part in effective weight management. Your scale is the tool that lets you chart your progress, and
measure your success, whether your goal is weight loss, weight gain, or maintaining your current weight.
Because weight varies, as explained below, focus on the progression and sustained 1ong-term changes rather than on exact day-to-day readings.
When you're dieting and exercising, small, fluctuating weight gains and losses are common.
Common Causes of Weight Fluctuations (during the day, and day-to-day)
• Water retention and weight gain from consumption of large meals
• Water retention from salt and carbohydrate intake
• Muscle buildup (muscle weighs more than fat) from strenuous
resistance training
• Weight loss caused by dehydration due to illness, low uid intake
or strenuous exercise
• Temporary weight gains and losses from menstrual cycle
Weight Maintenance vs. Weight Loss/Gain
Get into the habit of weighing yourself no more than once a week when you’re
on a weight management program. Weighing in at consistent intervals will give
you the most accurate picture of your progress, eliminating many short-term,
unrelated weight changes.
Follow These Simple Rules
• Weigh yourself once a week.
• Weigh yourself on the same day of the week.
• Weigh yourself at the same time of day.
• Weigh yourself wearing the same clothes.
• Weigh yourself in the same place.
• Weigh yourself on the same scale.
Weight fluctuates more when a person is overweight or underweight. When the goal is to maintain current weight, weighing yourself more than
once a week is a good way to stay on track.
Remember: A scale is an essential tool in any weight management program, but it only records your progress. Exercise, diet and determination are
what you need to reach your goal.
