Weighing In

Members Were Sparked

1. weight in on the same scale each time, as scales can vary a pound or two.
2. Relieve yourself before weighing in. Amazing how much solid waste can actually weigh.

MORE INFORMATION:
this may seem simple enough but I found that I lost another pound after going to the rest room.

I confirmed with my own Dr, who said the human body can have up to 5 pounds of solid matter inside to lower colon

If I weigh 184 lbs I think to myself that I weigh 182 lbs. I tell myself over and over (in my head) that I weigh 182 lbs until I actually do weigh 182 lbs. Then I tell myself I weigh 180 lbs. etc. You get the idea. Sounds strange, but it works for me.9

Weigh in day

I have found that weighing in weekly on Wednesday works good for me. In the past I always weighed in on Fridays and that lead to weekend binges. Monday weigh ins didn't work so well because of occasional straying on weekends. Wednesdays work well, it all averages out anyway but I recomend trying the Wednesday weigh in.
