If your group is later in the day...

Do you restrict what you eat that day? I go to a 6pm group and I'm really conscious of eating anything heavy beforehand. It's actually getting me into bad habits - I'll starve myself all day and then have a massive binge after weighing, followed by a week of sticking to plan Blush
What does everyone else do? (Not that, hopefully)

Not a 'massive binge' but weigh day was always take away day for me. I didn't starve myself in the day, but I did eat predominantly free food and drink lots of water and try to pee out an extra half stone few ounces.

Back when I did SW I used to weigh in at 7.30, we all used to take our dinner with us and eat it there after weighing in - it was best behaviour as no one wanted to be the one eating crap infront of their leader.

I never did. It makes no difference, well maybe the first week you would see a pound less or whatever but after that it's just the loss from week to week but you have got into a ridiculous situation of not eating all day. People need to eat, it's normal to eat. If your weight loss group has you starving yourself once a week it's not working for you.

I eat breakfast and lunch as normal, have a brew at about 3pm and then that's it until I weigh in. I have my evening meal when I get home, usually a ready meal from SW.

Same here. Couldn't and wouldn't starve myself all day, though I know some do.

I weight at 7pm. I don't starve myself so I have breakfast and lunch but I have my dinner when I get home from group. I drink green tea and loads of water till about 4pm ish then nothing till after weigh in. I take a hi-fi bar or a banana to group to keep me going till I get home for my dinner.

I weigh at 5.30, I tend to eat normal breakfast and lunch then have my last tea/water at about 2.30, then nothing else. I always plan a really nice on plan tea for when I get home so I’m not tempted to eat rubbish after weigh in. Because I weigh on a Thursday I need to keep my head in the game to see me though the weekend
