Kally, I think eating salty popcorn late the night before a weigh in could definitely affect your weigh in. That's why I'm having it tonight! My Leader used to also tell us not to eat Chinese food the night before a weigh in too.
I am fairly new at this, but I can say the week I had popcorn, I had only lost a 1/4 of a lb. I am also very careful the day before my weigh in. Just a few thoughts. Good Luck!
Uh oh. I have popcorn daily - I'm such a creature of habit. I do think I will forego it Wed. (weigh-in day) for sure and maybe Tues. as well. IF I can go that long.
And Kathy, you thought your Coke habit was bad - here's confession time. It's not the 94% fat free popcorn I'm eating. I get the movie theater butter (cringe!!) but at least I confine it to only one of those mini-bags a day. I find I can stay on plan perfectly if I know I have that one guilty pleasure at the end of the day. We'll see how badly it has affected me at my weigh-in Wednesday.
Yes, I guess I feel better. I'd probably feel even better if I didn't eat it, but hey, can't be perfect, right?
Maybe if I added it up, it'd be within my 35 points/week. I'm kind of afraid to figure the points for it, in case it's like 20 pts per bag or something.
It is not so much the popcorn as the sodium it contains. If you want to have popcorn with little or no sodium try popping real corn and putting no salt on it.

popcorn and weight gain?
Do you feel better after that confession, Angela? I hope so!!
Is it just the sodium before w/i? Or should I lay off of it?
