Hi folks
Well, today is weigh in day for me. Desipte having a naughty night, I've kept relatively syn low/free for the rest of the week and hopefully I'll have lost a pound or two.
I just nipped out for a walk at lunch and bumped into a fellow Slimming World member in town. I was clutching a Hi-Fi bar and a my lunch that I'd brought from home. She said 'Oh my God, I can't believe you're eating on weigh-in day!'.
We both had a few spare minutes, so she chatted to me about what she meant. She explained that every weigh in day, she didn't eat at all and then for three hours before weigh in she didn't drink water either.
I was amazed. How can this be good for her? I said 'But, surely, don't you just put straight back on any weight that you've lost as soon as you eat?'
She said by not eating for a day, she always went down a pound or two and, yes, then put it all (and usually more) back on the next day. But this motivated her because the next week she had to loose not only what she'd gained by not eating but also some more in order to keep going down. She liked the way it worked for her.
But, to be honest, I found it a bit difficult to stomach. Sure, I'd probably not have a big carby meal right before weigh in... but I'd not go as far as not eating at all! That can't be good for you!
Do you do that? What do you do before weigh in to make sure you show a loss?
For me, I follow the plan and pretty much stay normal on weigh in day. If, because I've done something that might equal an extra half a pound or something, then it'll show as a loss the week after.
But, seemingly, for others... there are tactics (and not too healthy ones if you ask me) that people employ to loose weigh that might not be endorsed by Slimming World!
I'd be interested to hear what you think.
Cheers
