I am one of the 63336
Having read some posts about negative comments that have been made and how it makes us feel (I can be very thin skinned), it made me remember something that others may want to try.
I moved in April 2008 and had to have a new patient medical at the doctor - including being weighed. In May 2008 I joined SW. By December 2008 I'd lost 2.5stone.
In the December I had to go to the doctor as I'd been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in the autumn so needed regular assessing. I was feeling really low that day and on a downer at my myself. Hated the way I looked, my weight etc.
For some reason I decided I wanted to know what the difference was in the SW scales to the one's at the doctors so I asked if he could weigh me on their ones - hadn't told him I was on SW.
He was even more pleased and excited than I was at my weight loss and I feared he was going to hug me at one point. I came out of there feeling 10 foot tall and pleased as punch. It's not often a doctor says something good to you about your weight.
So, if you have to see the doctor (or practice nurse) about something and want a bit of praise, ask if they'll weigh you.
OK, reading that back through it sounds a bit daft - but it worked for me
