You can take pictures in whatever outfit you chose. I'm personally taking mine in jeans and a shirt just because I have so many.
My only suggestion is that when you do take your pictures to keep the outfit consistent so you can personally see changes. It would be kind of pointless to take a photo in normal fitting jeans and a normal fitting shirt then the next week you take a picture in baggy jeans and a loose shirt. You wouldn't see the difference.
This also may apply to the color shirt or pants you chose. (Remember black is more sliming than white.)
As far as the weigh-ins, my scale shows weight, for example, as 152.0
Should I round the tenth spot up or down for the purpose of weigh-ins, or use it?
cee
I round it up. .5 or more goes up. .4 or lower leave it alone. That is what I do anyway. I am not so worried about the numbers that I let it bother me. Last weigh in I was at 158.2 ( on my scale at home ) I say 158 and leave it be. I happen to be at the docs office and it was right on the mark. Good enough for me. If it had said 158.5 or at the docs office it was wobbling I would have said 159. For me I get to have that loss that I didn't claim for the next week This is one of the main reasons I go to the doc every two weeks and use their scale. My ticker is based on the docs scale and I really only have the one at home for this challenge and if it is just to bad of weather out to drive to the docs. There are no .'s there. If it is on the mark you claim it if it isn't you don't.

I use the tenths as well when doing my weigh in calculations.
So if you are 158.5 please don't round up or down. It could cost us a weigh in!
My scale measures in 1/2 pounds, so that would be an excellent reason to go buy that new scale I've been wanting. My luck though it would be off from the scale I used for my starting weight. Perhaps I should try the scales out in the store, find the one with the lowest weight and buy that one?
I am so excited for this to start too! I do WW and my weigh in day is Saturday so I found out my first loss today, and it is REALLY REALLY good but i'm not going to say what it is until the thread is up!
