New research highlights that lots of women try and hide their weight rather than diet .
Go Lower, a healthy living website, highlights that many women admit to standing on one leg on the weighing scales to ensure that they weigh less than they really do.
Fifty per cent of women stated that they remove all their clothes prior to getting weighed.
Many women weigh themselves prior to eating as they consider that a meal would pile on the pounds.
Forty per cent of women confessed that they go to the toilet first before getting weighed, with ten per cent stating that they breathe in on the scales.
Amazingly, three per cent of respondents stated that they even wait for a full moon prior to weighing themselves as they consider that to be the lightest time of the month.
The survey questioned 3,000 women participants of all ages.
