Hey everyone!

So I'm road tripping in the US for nearly three months, and at home in the UK I only weigh myself once a week on the scales in Boots or Superdrug (they're a little like huge pharmacy and toiletries shops in every town and city). I don't want to be rude and weigh myself by stepping on scales in various stores as if I'm testing them, and I'd really rather have the receipt for my records you get when you pay to use public machines...only I've not seen any public machines anywhere and I'm not sure the US has them.

I may have to resort to buying some, but it'll be a bit inconvenient as I have so much stuff to lug around already and I literally only want to use them once a week!

If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated! Oh, and right now I'm in Seattle and I'd like to be able to weigh myself tomorrow if possible!

if you go through Nashville, give me a holler. you can step on mine.

Oh and while in WA state, visit the San Juan islands! Bellingham, Anacortes etc....beautiful scenery, some great little places to stop along the way, wineries etc.....you need to do a travel blog!

If you have a little time, I can second the suggestion to take the ferry to the San Juan islands.

In the city, the Pike Place Market down by the waterfront is a great place to visit, and they have myriad food choices, including tons of fresh and healthy seafood.

There's a pizza buffet in my town that has one no thanks!!

I did Pike Place market, that was fun, but I didn't find time for San Juan Islands - makes me wish I had now two of your are recommending it. Maybe another time!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that -

I am sure I have seen on reality tv a restaurant where you have to eat your weight in something or other. If such a place existed I would imagine you could find someplace like that in Nevada.

Just the thought of that turns my stomach, eek.

I finally found public scales!!!! Okay, got a little excited there.

My friend recommended using the blood pressure machine at the pharmacy in Walmart, and as I was trying to kill time before the drive to Vegas this afternoon I was doing every test they had and I realised you could do weight and BMI! You just sit on the seat and put your feet up on the bar and it does what the stand up scales at home do! And it's free!

I asked the lady behind the pharmacy desk and she said every Walmart should have one - so now I just need to find Walmart on my travels. Which isn't exactly hard - hooray!

This is great to know.

And, yes, unfortunately, you can find Walmart just about everywhere.

Hotel gym for sure!
