Here is a list of just a few of the craziest things I’ve done before stepping on a scale as I tried desperately to lose weight…until I figured out that scale weight is not as important as body fat and measurements.  Tell me some of the things that you’ve done in an all-out attempt to keep the needle moving and keep yourself motivated!

• Cut my fingernails and toenails
• Blew my nose and/or use a neti pot
• Cleaned the wax out of my ears
• Got a haircut
• Shaved off all or parts of my body hair
• Took an enema (yes, unfortunately!)
• Drank magnesium citrate – an entire 10oz bottle
• Blew all of the air out of my lungs
• Spit saliva in the sink for a half-hour
• Sat fully clothed in a sauna until I got dizzy
• Drank a colon cleanser – double or triple the recommended dosage!
