True weight

To find your true weight, step on the scale first thing in the morning after you've gone to the bathroom. Use that as a guide throughout your wellness programme.

Don't be discouraged if your weight suddenly seems to increase even though you've stuck to a sensible diet and exercise plan. Did you know that your weight fluctuates up to 2.5kg in a day as you eat, drink and even take a shower?

Here's what I found out when I recorded my own weight 8 times in 1 day. Using the above example as a rough guide, take your own weight and see how it changes within a day.
