Well done - a very nice step towards your goal.

It's annoying having to factor in time of day and clothing but you will know the extra is 'real'.

Just one of those things,last time I went to a later meeting I took it into account and had a higher target weight but I decided to leave it this time as I will then be a good weight going into the Christmas period and all that entails 😊

Well done on your loss. I've seen ladies strip down to their bra on top in an effort to weigh less while I've been in a class. It's not something that I've ever been tempted to do 🤣

There used to be a lady who changed into a thin summer dress when she arrived, she would turn up in the middle of winter with loads of layers on then go and change into this flimsy dress to be weighed 😀 I just always go in T-shirt and jeans then I know it's going to be the same every time 😊

Lol @CRANKY40.... I've never attended slimming classes, but at home it's defo everything single garment off including earrings & bangles! I need all the help I can get on the scales!

I'm always to be found completely naked in my kitchen first thing in the morning as that is where my scales live ( it's the only room with a flat enough floor to weigh on 😀) I just have to remember to shut the blind first 😂

You need to listen to the Secret World of Slimming Clubs podcast, I think it’s episode 109 that talks about tricks at the scales like an emergency wee beforehand and removal of clothing It’s absolutely hilarious 🤣

I was going to listen to this today but forgot, I will give it a go tomorrow 😀

The neighbour I used to sit with at WW used to do the same thing with a thin dress. When she got to goal she cut it up in front of the class. I used to wear my normal clothes just made sure they weren’t particularly heavy ones.

Today has been spent painting and it's looking lovely on my landing, it's so bright and airy. When the floors are all done I will take some photos. B managed to get a massive swipe of paint all down one side 😳 I was sitting on the floor painting the stair post when she decided to come downstairs but instead of going round me she squeezed in between me and the post 😀 I had to wipe it after because she left loads of dog hair in my new paint work

I'm having the day off tomorrow and going out with my friend, we are visiting a local town for a bit of retail therapy and lunch. I'm looking forward to getting out of the house and chilling out, I think it's meant to rain though so will have to take my brolly.

Friday will be back to painting, I have figured out how to go over the wall that the handy man did .Once that wall is done I need to do the downstairs hall walls. I will need another tin of gloss though as I've nearly run out. I don't go back to work until next Wednesday so I'm hoping to get it all finished by Tuesday. I've still got plenty of time but I can sense myself getting bored now so need to get it done before my motivation runs out 😊

Lol at the pre-weigh emergency wee! Yep, that is defo one of my strategies too. If you are ever tempted to think that this won't make a difference, I suggest you take a pint glass of water & pour it into the dish of your kitchen scales. I first did this, actually, not because of weighing myself, but because when I started making sourdough bread a few years ago, the recipe required the water content to be weighed, rather than measured in ml. I couldn't believe such a little bit of water could weigh in at 250g.....i.e over half a lb! That simply underlined for me the critical nature of the pre-weighday wee! (Or 2 or 3 if at all possible!) Try it! Pint of water on that scales. You will be implementing the pre-weigh wee with immediate effect!
