WI rituals

  • just curious to see what other ppl do. mine is to wi early in a.m. bf breakfast, no jewels, same outfit and no shoes.
  • No ritual. I'm just trying to wear about the same weight clothes from week to week. We're not allowed to take off our shoes at WI -- there's a big sign next to the scale...
  • Major ritual for me.... meeting is at 9am. Nothing at all to eat or drink before meeting. Wear exactly the same outfit and no jewelry. There are 4 scales but I have to WI on the same one each time.
  • shoes mandatory? socks i know =but im in ny and we remove shoes and they put paper if yre barefoot
  • They put paper down for us too at my meeting.

    My ritual - I weigh in after work at 5:30 so no salty food or heavy meals that day and plenty of water. I also discovered that in winter you should wear a tank top under your big sweater so you can take it off before weigh in and never, ever wear jeans!
  • torally! u may wanna cut bk on the water tho it can be as bad as food
  • No jeans, ever! They weigh a ton. And no shoes...socks only.

    As for drinking water, I was told to stop 3 hours before WI. Since I WI in the morning that doesn't apply, but for those who do pm WI's, be careful...2 pints of water weighs 1 pound and that can really mess up your WI.
  • teelee is right!

    even in the a.m. if u wi the mornin id try n do w/o water. myv sis is nuts she drinks a can of tea on the way to wi!
  • I weigh in the mornins go no breakfast until after wards. Same clothing if possible never,never jeans! I did that once and it was a sad day in muddville..! No bare feet on
    our scale so socks or stocking feet only. And I always go to the bathroom right before I weigh in.
  • Hee hee... I call the restroom at my meeting "the sanctuary," because so many people go in there to "pee and pray" before their weigh-ins. No other rituals for me, other than same clothes each week, nothing to eat or drink before weigh-in (10AM Saturdays), no jewelry or shoes/
  • sanctuary? lol love it!
  • since I WI at home I do it AM on Fridays or Saturdays (depending on if I work on Fridays) I have to be naked, gone to the bathroom, and not have had anything to eat or drink. So I basically do it as soon as I decide to get out of bed

  • Oh I have the same rituals every week... I WI at work at noon so I definately wear the same clothes each week, stop drinking at 9am and hit the bathroom on the way down to the meeting..
  • When I did traditional meetings, I would not eat or drink before I went and generally wear a cotton skirt and a tank top with built-in bra. And um, no underwear, because that extra 2 oz. could be the ones that really count. Our meeting let us weigh in barefoot with no paper or anything, but this was in NC so I guess we were just dirty, barefoot, rednecks or something.

    Now I do WW on-line and weigh in at home. My routine is to weigh in before I eat or drink anything and after I poo (preferably, athough that doesn't always work out the way I want it to) and I just weigh in naked.

    The sanctuary! That is absolutely hilarious and right on the mark!
