SURE:
Get a big rope and a pulley, a hunk of plywood, and a bunch of canned cokes.
Screw the pulley into the ceiling and run the rope up over the pulley and back down to the big plywood board. Tie the rope onto the board so the board will get lifted if you pull on the rope.
Now, pull the rope until the plywood just barely lifts off the ground and tie a loop in the end of the rope right there.
If you step into the loop with all your weight, the plywood board should go up off the ground say 1 foot.
Now, begin, by trial and error, stacking six packs of canned coke onto the plywood board, and stepping into the loop to see if the board still goes up in the air.
When you get to the point where you and the board sort of just hang there in suspense, neither goes up or down, stop. Carefully count up the total number of cokes on the board. Your answer was what? _______________ .
Say it was 142 Cans. Okay. You weigh 142 Cokes.

You can use height and size of a pair of your jeans to figure approximate weight for that piece of clothing.
i.e., In a size 5 at 5'4", you should weigh somewhere between 115-125 lbs (give or take) to fit into that piece of clothing correctly with a right fit, not loose, not big. So in a sense, you can figure your approximate weight according to your dimensions.

You can certainly judge by how your clothes fit and guess the weight but getting on a scale is really the only way i know of to weigh yourself! :)

Well, the only way to know your body weight is with scales lol. However, it's more important how your clothes fit than what you weigh. Body fat percentage is more important than weight also. HTH : )

Don't use a scale to judge your weight. Put together an exercise plan, stick to it, and judge your body by what you see in the mirror.
Good luck!

Don't get overly concerned about your weight. Think more about being healthy and looking good.
I don't know of any other way to find body weight other than weighing yourself.
