remember that you won't be stripping down, so your clothing will also add weight. Also, depending on what time you made your appointment for, you may weigh more (I weigh 5-6lb more in PM). Good luck.

You can Water load before you get weighed, increase salt intake and then drink a lot of water .. like they have done on biggest loser i am not saying its a good thing to do but needs must sometimes, wear jeans heavy trainers eat a large Breakfast lots of drinks lol weights in your pockets ... tons of things could easily make you a higher weight and when it comes to measure your height to get your bmi dont stand tall ........ good luck...

You said snow in your area, so cold weather, wear layers! Put on a couple shirts, maybe long johns under a pair of heavy jeans. Heck, even find a couple small pocket sized weights to put in your pockets. As others have stated, make the appointment in the late afternoon when you're bound to weigh more anyway. I know this is all horribly dishonest stuff, but sometimes you have to do it.

Best of luck to you.

I used to eat an entire box of Velveeta shells & cheese the night before my weigh ins and then I would eat a 3 egg omelet with extra cheese & veggies for breakfast, and then generally nachos for lunch and have my appointments around 3:00pm. Dang, I can't believe I used to eat all that crap. No wonder I used to feel bad all the time. LOL! Good luck with your appointment.
