Depends on the type of scale you're using, but regardless there should be some tips to follow. Stand up straight, with all of your weight over the scale, both feet on the scale. (If both of your feet are on the scale it shouldn't really matter how you stand, gravity will pull your weight down onto the scale and the scale will measure your weight.) Don't hold on to anything or support your weight on any external object. Also, make sure that the scale is on a firm, flat surface. A lino floor or cement floor would be the best. If you're using a hospital type scale, (the type will the little weights across a bar that you have to slide over to get a correct measurement) make sure that you stand still. Any movement will cause the balance to move and make correct weight measurement very difficult.

How much does a man weight on the moon?
The moon is much smaller than the Earth. As a result, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one sixth as strong as gravity on earth. If you were to weigh yourself on a scale here and then could take that same scale to the moon and weigh yourself, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight. So, if you weighed 100 lbs on earth, you would only weigh about 16lbs on the moon. Talk about losing weight fast!

The gravitational force acting on you when you stand on the moon is about 1/6 as strong as when you're standing on the earth. So let's say ... just for an example because I don't know you ... let's just say for a moment that you weigh 180 pounds. If you carry your bathroom scale with you next time you go to the moon, and then once you've landed, you set up the scale inside your landing module and climb on it, you'll read about 30 pounds. (You have to do this before you get out of the landing module, because before you can get out, you have to put on your space suit, and then the weighing would get complicated.)
