Facility deducting 2 pounds for clothing??



Recommended Posts

I am right there on the border of 40 bmi. The place where I just went has said that they deduct 2 lbs for clothing when you weigh in. This would bring my BMI to 39.8 (no comorbidities) and I am wondering if anyone ever heard of this???? Is this typical/normal??

Call up and tell them you werent feeling well this morning, and you didnt have anything to eat or drink today or last night and that you dont think that weight accurately represents your true weight and you would like to weigh yourself again now that you ate and feel better. They SHOULD let you come back in and reweigh yourself.

Ive personally seen this occur before

Yes. I need to go in for the next two.months now, and see the NUT again. They want to submit when they can submit 3 months of consistent 40+BMI and a weigh in with the NUT that also shows 40+.
Ugh.
