Thread: Eating on Weigh in Day

Am I deluding myself my not eating 'normally' on weigh in day, I dont deprive myself but at the same time dont drink lots of tea or water when I am getting weighed in, no more that I would want to carry a few bottles of water in my pocket when standing on the scales.

I think thats the norm but am willing to stand corrected and be told I am foolish.... 'm just a bloke after all!

Regardless of whether it's the norm, it's still mental!!! I won't have a drink from about 2 hours before weigh in but aside from that I eat normally all day

I eat normally during the day. I have a cup of tea when I get home from work which is an hour before WI and then I have my tea when I get home. I'm not gonna starve myself for anyone

I admit it - I drink normally on WI day, but don't eat. Rightly or wrongly its a habit I can't get out of

He He, I know its Mental, its something I started when I did lighterlife 6 years ago and its now folowed me into SW.

We all have our quirks - some people wear 'lucky pants' to weigh, we don't eat lol

I do wear exactly the same shirt and trousers every weigh in night!

Just eat normally hun and as long as you do the same thing every week it will make no difference. Getting into a famine-feast situation can be counter productive as it can make you more likely to fall off the wagon and there is evidence that it can affect your rate of metabolism

I agree. If you do the same every week then it's not going to make a difference. I remember being queued to get weighed one night when there was a taster session on. The woman in front wouldn't try anything until after while I was nibbling away thinking a few mouthfuls isn't going to make a difference now! Though saying that I always make sure I take off my jacket and shoes! (and also avoid wearing heavy clothing!)

I eat and drink normally but all before 2 o clock, i get weighed at 7 x

I don't eat my dinner either and need to wait until about 9.30 that night and I'm starving lol

i weigh at 9.30am and eat and drink nothing until after I weigh. This is what I did on my very first day and I have carried it on. I eat totally normally the day before and always make sure I have a big drink before going to bed so I don't dehydrate.

For me it is a habit now and I wouldn't want to change it in case it meant my wi didn't reflect my real loss.

I weigh in the same clothes every week and just try to eat lighter. I don't weigh until 7pm and there's no way I could eat nothing! Breakfast normally Finn crisp with light philli, hex b of cereal or fruit and yogurt. Dinner is salad then nothing until after weigh in

I usually eat and drink fairly normally at breakfast and lunch and then I'll have some fruit mid-afternoon and that's me until after WI at 7pm. I always have dinner afterwards. I usually save all of that day's syns until after dinner on as well so that I can have a 'treat'.

I like to keep things light on weigh in day lol. I just can't help it, lunch at 12.30 at work then no drinks after about 2.30, I weigh in at around 6pm xxx
