Weigh Ins While on Vacation??? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

sfree13 · 02-08-2011, 02:03 PM

Hi ladies,

In two weeks, I'm going on a 5 day trip, so I will miss my 'normal' weigh in date. I know I can easily go to a meeting in the city I'm visiting, but I was wondering if I could weigh in before I leave, only 4 days after my last weigh-in, and then not weigh in again until the next 'normal' day I would weigh in, which would be another week and a half. Is that 'allowed'?

I really don't want to miss one of my weigh-ins, as I'm shooting for the 16 weeks straight, but I would prefer not to have to worry about it while I'm on vacation.

To be clear, I would weigh in on Saturday, February 19th, then again on Wednesday, February 23rd, then again on Saturday, March 5th.

Or, do I need to just weigh in once between February 26th and March 4th?

I'm sorry if this is really confusing!

I am not sure it it's "allowed" or not but as long as you remain accountable for what you eat I would do exactly as you outlined and not worry about weighing in on vacation.

That should be just fine, since each weigh in falls on a separate week (Sunday - Saturday). You are just not allowed to officially weigh in twice during the same week.

Oh! So do the weeks always run Sunday through Saturday? So Saturday is always the 'end' of the previous week?

That is how it is here, I assume it is that way everywhere. Sunday is the first day and Saturday is the last. You can weigh in on any day during the week.

Yes, as far as I know, all centers' weeks run Sunday to Saturday. That's good for you to know, since you weigh in on Saturday. Say you missed your weigh in for some reason, if you went on Sunday to make it up, you would not be allowed to officially weigh in the following Saturday. I think they would probably allow you to weigh in to see your progress, but it would not go in your book.

Thanks ladies---that helps a lot! I really really want to get my 16 weeks in a row, so I'll have to plan an early weigh-in to make that happen

Thanks for your help!
