I usually wear the same thing, which is a thinner weight tshirt and a pair of capri workout pants. I actually rolled up some of my pants and weighed them on my WW food scale! Dork, I know, but now I know! I have 2 pair of capris I was debating between and one was a full ounce lighter than the other. A pair of cotton shorts was almost a half pound different than the capris. I NEVER wear jeans! They've added about 2 pounds to me before. Also, lose all the jewelry. My watch has a bangle type band and is quite heavy. Pair that with a necklace and earrings and you can be looking at a whole 'nother pound.
Yes, as they say, you should not be focusing as much on the scale but we still do. If you wear heavy clothes and jewelry one week and not the next, it will mess with your numbers and, for me anyway, cause frustration so I just lose it all before weigh in.
I thought I was the only one that did weird stuff like that! My Grandma came into my room the other day while I was holding different pairs of pants, trying to figure which one was lighter! Even though they don't weigh much, I take off all of my jewelery before I go in, and brush my hair to get any stragglers out that don't need to weigh in! I understand the fact that we shouldn't focus on the scale, but sometimes it gets so depressing to hear that your loss doesn't match the effort! I look at the weird things I do before a weigh in like the weird things people do before a big sports game or something!
I usually wear pajama pants (morning meeting) or light running pants and a tank top. No jewelry, no shoes, and I try to go number 2 before weighing in haha.
I just wear a light dress and some tights. We aren't allowed to go bare feet (I guess its for health reasons) so I make sure I have light shoes on as well and always take my jacket off. It all makes a wee difference :P
I was lurking! I was on WW pre-pregnancy (and on this message board) , and I'll be right back on it after delivery, so I'm just here to help me climb back on the wagon, since I'm hoping to go anyday now!
Anyway, I saw your comment on shoes. At our ww wi they always had a roll of paper towels next to the scales, and if we wanted to take off our shoes (which pretty much everyone did we had to put a paper towel square down first then throw it away when we were done. I'd hate to wi with shoes on!
Yeah, every meeting location I've been to has had paper towels nearby, too. I've seen very few people keep their shoes on when getting on the scale. I even wear the littlest socks possible! I only wear those little, "no see" tennis socks that barely peep out the top of your shoe. I'll take every ounce off (literally!) that I can!
LOL I had no idea what the paper towels were for or why they were way down there! Thankfully, I have always worn socks! With summer almost here I will definitely be wearing sandals, so now I know about the paper towels!
My shoes are so light it doesn't really make a difference. :P
Although if I've had a bad week I think I might grab some toilet paper or something haha.
I wear a similar outfit each time -- jeans, sandals, and a t-shirt
My clothes add about 2 pounds (based one weighing at home before and after dressing), but I figure as long as I'm consistent, then the weigh-ins will be right.
