I did really well this week and had lost 4.2 pounds. Now of course, when I started I wore my shoes, and I took them off this time, (no fools in my family - well, there is DH and my brother, but that is another story). I know that means less of a real loss, but psychologically it makes me feel better and gives me incentive for the next week.

Well, congratulations to you!!! I think its weird to see how many folks read a post and how many reply I wanted to reply and tell you to keep up the good work!!

Just wanted to say I agree Forgiven. So many views and so few replys. What's with that?
Tryin' whatever you can figure out to keep you motivated, you go girl!!
Personally, wherever I am I pull those shoes off!!!
remove whatever is allowed. :lol

Anita

I'd weigh in naked if it was allowed
Well done on the loss and keep it up

I only lost .2 this week and I'm certain it's because I got a haircut!!!!!!!

As long as it's moving down, I'm happy

What a hoot! This thread sounds just like the members at our WW group! Weigh in at 8:30 am, same clothes each week, line at the bathroom before the weigh-in, everyone takes off shoes/sweaters/watches.....AFTER the weigh in we all eat our 2 point bars and drink our water, never before!

I think it comes down to our need to make sure we did ALL we can to lose each week. Personally, I'm still wearing the same parachute material pants I wore for my first weigh in 74 pounds ago. They're soooo baggy now, but I can't stand to wear anything else because these are almost weightless, and I don't want to "gain" because I was wearing heavier clothes! I look at them more as a good luck charm, and have promised a WW buddy that she can burn them when I reach goal!

Weigh to go, tryin'

Hey Annie,
I'm with ya on those parachute pants. Don't be surprised when you get to goal if you can't give them up then either. I got to goal sometime back and have continued weighing in my baggies.
Maybe if I would have planned the burning ceremony I could make it work...

Tryin'
Weigh to go. I personally know people who floss, shave their legs, get haircuts, and eliminate underclothes to get a better WI. LOL Do what works and congrats on your fine loss.

This is a great board, thanks for the support! I agree with all of you and laughter is 0 points, if I read the literature correctly.

hhhmmmm.....parachute pants.....i would always weigh in while wearing leggings and a t-shirt and birkinstocks. i did my first weigh in wearing these clunky men's shoes, and went barefoot the next week....i got a huge loss, but it worked against me cuz i felt like i had room to splurge.
i lost 1 pound this past week :-D and what's even better, is that i'm learning how to cook real food (not the tater tot and ramen noodle diet that my roomies subscribe to...which is a pretty common diet for college students...)

congratulations on the weight loss tryin' and others!
