HI, tomorrrow is my weigh-in and im wondering what kinds of foods i shoulf be eating. I know thateating pasta the day before weigh-in is not good as your weight result the next day wouldn't be accurate. But what have you all been eating the day before?

    High fiber foods. Foods that are low-sodium.

    I eat like I normally do and drink all of my water. I guess I didn't think about it. I do, however, sometimes splurge on my weigh in day--after I've weighed in. LOL

    I eat normal. That way the scale represents my actual loss or gain and there's no surprises the following week!

    Watermelon! Helps with water retention and bloating. Pregnant women swear by it.

    The only person you cheat is yourself by changing what you eat for a weigh in.

    I agree, I find it that when I don't cheat the day before the weigh in and I see the scale don't move I am the type of person that gets motivated to finding the solution and trying harder next time. Some people find it disappointing and give up. The fact is that if your going to eat one way the day before you weigh-in just to tip the scale to a loss your just going to gain it back when you start eating the way again. I personally belive that if you lost the weight then you lost it. Just make sure when you weigh in you do it first thing when you wake up, after you use the restroom. Prefuably with no clothing on. This way it is the same everytime and you have a better know if you are losing or gaining without the excess "water weight" since your body fast for the 8 hours you were sleeping or however long you were catching the z's

    I would just eat as normal. Gaming the scale isn't going to make me slimmer.

    If your following a healthy diet and excercising then the scales should represent this over time. However there some tricks to get rid of 'waste' and 'water' to get a truer picture on the scales on your weigh day. I got this from a boxers forum. I am not an expert and do not recommend the following! wink wink

    The day before:-
    Reduce water intake (increase your water intake for 6 days before)
    reduce salt intake
    increase bowel movements
    Get a massage
    Hot bath and/ Sauna
    any workout that makes you sweat sweat sweat
