This might be a tad odd a question but please bare with me and hopefully I'll be clear lol.
What I want to know is, do you find the weekly weigh in's infront of your group to be quite important as motivation for keeping you on track each week?
What I mean is, does the thought of having your loss almost 'announced' keep you sticking to your points?
Here's the reason, I had a gastric band about a year ago and so far its the best thing I've ever done for myself but.. recently I'm cheating all the time, picking/grazing, drinking pop etc and when I weigh myself I keep cheating there too - Oh well, I've got a hoody on so that'll knock a few lbs off etc. So really, I've not lost anything but I'm making up reasons why and convincing myself that I have lost, but the scales are lying etc. I don't have anyone to answer to so, who cares etc.
So this is why I'm asking. I'm contemplating going to weightwatchers, maybe for a month or two to hopefully get me back on track as I was doing so well.
I realise I won't be able to eat all the points WW says I should, but do you think that the meetings about food education and the actual weigh in would be a motivation and a help for me? I've not REALLY lost anything since Oct
