From some women's magazine:

Charlize Theron is 10 feet above Earth, leaping through the air. Her instructor flashes a thumbs up. "You now weigh only one-sixth of your normal body weight," he recites matter-of-factly. Theron is ecstatic. "One-sixth? This is the best thing for the female ego since the Wonderbra."

From Cosmopolitan:

Readers reveal the wacky rituals they indulge before they weigh in.

  • "When I check in at my weight-loss program, I wear my lightest clothes - no sweaters or overall, just cotton tee shirts and thin khakis. And I take off all of my jewelry, including my cherished engagement ring."
  • "I work out right before getting weighed to burn those last extra calories. And I don't eat or drink anything before I go - not even water."
  • "I blow my hair totally dry before hitting the scale so my wet head doesn't add on any extra pounds." "I strip down until I am totally naked. Everything comes off, including my underwear, socks, ponytail holder, even Band-Aids."
  • "Right before I hit the scale at home, I run into the bathroom to pee. I figure you never know, it just might make a difference!"
