Thread: If your group is in the evening do you have dinner beforehand?

Well I did have my meal beforehand albeit a slightly smaller portion than normal. Worked out OK as I lost 6.5lbs! Glad I did for this week so I will do the same without worrying from now on.

Well done Gillian, that's a great loss!

Wow well done xx brilliant loss xx

I have to say when i was going to group i never ate much at all on weigh day ..this time im going to change that and will rejoin tomorrow and try and eat healthy every day

As everyone has said, just make sure its the same every week. I don't eat a lot on weigh in day, but i dont really eat a lot during the day anyway. I don't have my dinner before I go, I just nip to the chippy afterwards lol

Normally i will eat a normal breakfast (bran flakes) a light lunch and then nothing until weigh in (6:30pm) i'm sure it doesn't make much difference at all but i also try not to drink any diet coke etc on weigh day, just water where possible as i find fizzy drinks sometimes make me feel a bit bloated.

But to echo everyone else too, aslong as you do the same(ish) each time then it doesnt really matter

When I did SW I didn't really eat if I could help it on WI day. Sometimes might have bran flakes for breakfast. Because I was so used to weighing myself on my wii fit or scales in the morning before I ate that I did not want anything hindering my weightloss.

Since joining WW (and having long stressful days at uni mon-fri) I have a weigh in on Monday and I eat just as I would if I didn't have a WI!! Breakfast and lunch. Though I wont have dinner until afterwards.

Had my first weigh in yesterday and lost 4.5lbs so I dont think it hindered my weightloss the way I see it that even if eating that sandwich has upped my weight my 0.5lb today... Ill still lose it eventually!! Xx

I always eat dinner before, because my class starts at 19:00 and sometimes it goes on until 20:30. I will start eating my fingers at that stage if I skipped my dinner.

Rather cut your hair and nails
Shave your legs
Have a wee before......
if you want to be lighter at weigh in
Just joking......

Since i joined SW i always leave my dinner till after weigh-in at club which is 7pm, dont normaly get home till 8.48pm. I do have my breakfast & lunch with light snack if i'm peckish. I thought having my dinner 1 hour before weigh-in id feel bloated and feel it would affect my weight loss so i've started this way and will always continue to reflect last weeks routine

Ive always had mine after the group meeting

i've been having mine after group too, ours starts at 7pm so i've just been having a yoghurt or piece of fruit to keep me going til i get home, i try to keep to the same each week so its a truer reflection of my weight x

I dont have food before weigh in as i didn't have food before my first weigh in so just stuck to this... dont necessarily want that extra lb i could have avoided lol and my groups at 7.30 meaning i get home about, but have everything prepped beforehand so its just a case of heating it all up.

The group finished at 9pm and I'm very glad I'd eaten. I would have been starving otherwise!

I just joined SW last night and the WI was at 7.00pm. Very late for me I usually eat dinner as soon as i get in from work about 4:30pm, but I was a bit worried about eating a (big) meal beforehand, so I just had 2x ryvita with cheese at 4.30pm, then went to the SW class and had my (big) dinner when I got back. Not used to eating so late but I'm too paranoid lol. Glad you asked the question though & well done on the loss!

Used to eat small meal when WI was at 7, but now it's at 5 I don't. But i eat normally throughout day.
