Abstract	The purpose of this column is to provide strategies for physical education (PE) teachers/coaches on how to obtain weight and BMI readings discretely from their students. Continuing to acquire weight and BMI readings where the students can see and know their own readings, and the readings of their peers can lead to serious unplanned concerns. These concerns include the unintended harms of body image issues that could lead to eating disorders. In this effort, we argue for the use of several strategies as a preferred framework for PE teachers/coaches to discretely take the weight and BMI readings which do not disclose the results. (As Provided).
