How do WW members keep accountable for what they say they weigh ?

Question

I have a silly question, just curious, how do members that only do WW on line, keep accountable for what they say they weigh ? Do people cheat, and enter whatever they want? I go faithfully to weekly meetings and get weighed in. I am lifetime for over a year, so it's not an issue, but just wondering .

Answer 1

I do only online. I don’t cheat and write whatever I want lol that would be silly if I cheat I cheat I usually don’t track anything on those days or I try to track it if it’s just one thing I ate not great. I am Very accountable and weigh myself every week and I even put in my weight gains etc I’ve lost over 105 lbs

Answer 2

Exactly Dyan!  

Answer 3

Why would anyone do that?  

Answer 4

You step on the scale on your weigh in day and enter the weight that it says. Why would anyone put a false weight in? Then they wouldn't be able to monitor their progress. There is certainly no benefit to putting in false weights.  

Answer 5

I only use the app, but I truly enter the weight my scale says even if it's up for that week. If somebody is entering a different weight, they are only cheating themselves.  

Answer 6

Before we can. vexome lifetime we have to attend meetings also. In the meantime untill I get close I'm doing digital and why lie to myself?  

Answer 7

If you cheat, your only cheating yourself

Answer 8

Seems dumb to cheat? Why would you pay money to lie about your weight to strangers?  

Answer 9

I'm sure ppl do not list the correct amount. Since I weigh every morning, I own it. Good or bad

Answer 10

Very honest accountability

Answer 11

If they're not being honest they only hurt themselves, not for me to judge. Many people can't afford the fees for meetings. Don't forget that, something is better than nothing.  

Answer 12

I only do online and input whatever the scale says. What’s the point in lying to yourself?  

Answer 13

It would be stupid to lie since the whole point is to lose weight.  

Answer 14

Theres really no point to lying about your weight or weight loss. no one sees the number but you

Answer 15

If people are going to eat what they want and lie online, then so be it. The bottom line is they are only going to get out of the program what they put into it. All the lying in the world isn't going to get them into a size 10.  

Answer 16

Some days are harder than others but in the end I'm paying for a membership so if I lied on weigh in I'd just be cheating myself. I've gone days without tracking too and go back and fill in the blanks to keep myself accountable

Answer 17

See absolutely no point in lying, why waste your money!  

Answer 18

I only do on line and I faithfully record the numbers. Why would anyone not do that?  

Answer 19

I do digital now why would I cheat? I’d only be cheating myself

Answer 20

You get trinkets at different milestones but nothing worth lying over. Besides, you’d only be cheating yourself.  

Answer 21

I do just the online. what would be the purpose on entering a false weight?  

Answer 22

Yes sometimes I cheat. not on weight. On points over. Always track. Ultimately I'M the one that gets cheated.  

Answer 23

I have the weight watchers scale. And weigh myself on my designated day. Why would you lie or cheat? You’re only hurting yourself. ‍♀️

Answer 24

I do online and am brutally honest to myself. I was REALLY bad yesterday and I counted it.  

Answer 25

You can still go to meetings my sister does a lot on line, she’s a lifetime member. Weights in monthly.  

Answer 26

You cheat you’re only cheating yourself!  

Answer 27

Why would you cheat when you are paying good money  ✔️✅?  

Comments

@overlong11 I was gonna say the same not worth the money if u gonna lie about

Answer 28

It’s all a matter of ethics. Do you cheat yourself or not? I weigh daily and record on Tuesday. I weigh daily because I put that weight into the treadmill for calories burned. I really don’t care what it is. The only one I care about is Tuesday

Answer 29

Well that's one of the reasons you can only make 'free'lifetime member when you go to meetings. you must lose at least 5# ? at meetings to get free lifetime tools.  

Answer 30

I don't know why you would think just because some people only do on line weight watchers that they would automatically cheat. I weigh myself on the same scale every morning and I log it.  

Answer 31

If you lie, you're only lying to yourself.  

Answer 32

I have never thought about lying about my weigh ins. I'm no where close to lifetime and I didn't even know I got charms till recently so the only person I would be lying to would be myself. I do that enough without my weigh ins being added to it! LOL

Answer 33

What’s the point of lying to yourself?  

Answer 34

Your only cheating yourself, if your going to do that why would you pay to be in the program?  

Answer 35

IF I lied I would be like "Here is my before and after picture 110 lbs off thanks to ww" WHAT you think its the same pic side by side and I still look heavy? bahahahaaaa

Answer 36

I went from going to meetings to online only. I’m not sure what I am supposed to do

Answer 37

You’re really only cheating yourself if you’re not truthful. I do online and don’t fudge a thing and Ive been successful, down 30 lbs so far. I have good weeks and bad weeks but I track all the same and move onZ

Answer 38

Don’t know about others, but I am always truthful! You are only hurting yourself if not and really who sees your weight but you and whoever calculates the + and - each week!  

Answer 39

Who would we be lying to? Just ourself & we already know.  

Answer 40

What would be the point of lying? You are paying for it, I guess if you want ta game. I can think of better games.  

Answer 41

That would only be hindering yourself. You pay for the program. Why would you want to lie to yourself?  

Answer 42

I do we on line. I enter my weight of I gain or lose. There is no point of doing this if you aren't honest with yourself.  

Answer 43

"To Thine Self be True" You would only be cheating yourself.  

Answer 44

There is no point in cheating

Answer 45

It's called accountability.

@hemorrhoid6998 right

Answer 46

Why cheat? Cheat yourself out of that monthly payment. To become lifetime, even if you are digital only, you have to lose your last few pounds before goal while attending meetings. So you can’t be a lifetime member as digital only. At some point, you’re required to attend meetings and complete the 6 week maintenance period.  

Answer 47

I don’t know how the world does it but I have a scale , at home same as ww . I weigh once a week and I put the exact weight I mean if I say I’m skinner people going to notice lol

Answer 48

I put down what I weigh. If you are serious about losing, I don’t think a person would lie about something like that.  

Answer 49

I use a Fitbit scale. It automatically logs my weight onto my WW site. No cheating can even happen!  

Answer 50

I am doing this for me. I am accountable to no one but me on this journey

Answer 51

Why would someone want to cheat themselves? I’m only accountable to myself. It works for me. I count everything that goes in my mouth. I get to pick which day I weigh in. I like that. I don’t understand the cheating part. Why would someone want to?  

Answer 52

I am totally accountable to myself and have lost 18 lbs in five weeks. If your mind is right you can achieve anything. Another 20 lbs to go.  

Answer 53

I was in counseling once and admitted to the therapist I had lied about something. He said people lied to him all the time and they only hurt themselves when they do so. He said it's only when we're honest with him and ourselves that he can help. Having said that, I will say I don't cheat. I track everything and I'm honest about the scales. This program can't help me, it can't work for me if I cheat. I do it all online and it's working. Some people need to go to meetings for accountability and support.  

Answer 54

What’s the point of cheating? I joined to lose weight- not pretend to lose weight lol!  

Answer 55

I just weighed myself at home. It worked for me. Some weeks were better than others.  

Answer 56

I'm just honest. So far it's worked for me

Answer 57

Silly question, who would they be cheating, only themselves. honestly i've never thought about this. i do go to meetings and i love them, but we are all working on ourselves in our own way! hugs all you ww members

Answer 58

If you werent honest about it why would you pay 20 bucks a month to be in the program? I am always honest. I take one day a week to eat what I want and then track diligently the rest of the time. I dont have time for meetings I work ten hour days. Been on ww since October 2018 and have lost 65 lbs. It is something I am doing for myself to be healthy and a good example for my patients. If I lied about my weight it would not get me very far!  

Answer 59

I am online only and I find it hilarious that someone would even think of entering a different weight to track. Do people actually do that? lmao!  

Answer 60

I know I have to go and be accountable to me. I need the encouragement and the seeing how others are doing.  

Answer 61

I have to go and get weighed in, or else I get off track! When I stopped going to the weigh ins, got into big trouble. thinking I do do this on my own! For me, I need the accountability!  

Answer 62

If I were to lie about my number that would only hurt me in the long run. This journey is about accepting me for me, good and bad.  

Answer 63

I couldn’t go to a meeting even if I wanted to. I work 12 hours a day and yes it would be so easy to cheat but why bother doing it and actually it’s tougher to be on the just digital in my opinion because of that

Answer 64

Why lie?  

Answer 65

Well if you lie you are only lying to yourself. You have no benefit lying on line. Some people feel more accountable going to meetings or the go for the support. Some dont feel comfortable going in front of strangers.  

Answer 66

I guess people could cheat on their weight loss but if they do who are they really cheating,  

Answer 67

That would be counterproductive wouldn’t it? I could put in that I’m 145 yay I hit goat when actually I over 200. Not sure the reason, only fooling yourself. ‍♀️

Answer 68

I've always wondered that, anyone doing it on line can say they have lost 2lb but really could have gained 2lb. i couldn't do it at home, cos i need that kick up arse now and again . Lol x

Answer 69

The only person you are cheating is yourself.  

Answer 70

What would be the point of cheating? Less points . ‍♀️

Answer 71

I do in line only. I work at a family practice office and weigh in every Monday. No one cares what I weigh so there’s no point of cheating! Plus that would not benefit me at all! My scrubs don’t lie!  

Answer 72

I do online only. I am here to become healthy and lose weight. I only put what the scale says. I am accountable because this is the journey I have chosen.  

Answer 73

Online only. Weigh in daily and track. I stay honest.  

Answer 74

I’m online only. If I cheat what purpose do I serve? I would be wasting my money.  

Answer 75

If you can’t be honest with yourself, then who can you truly be honest to

Answer 76

I think your question is a fair one and I used to wonder as well . meetings helped me. Then I had to go online only and it came down to being accountable to me. And respecting myself . Totally in my head. :)

Answer 77

Why would you pay for it then lie about it?  

Answer 78

I never cheat

Answer 79

I’m accountable to myself. I use my app and put my points in every day and have a cheat meal a week. I’ve lost 70lbs since April. If you want it bad enough, you can do it. ‍♀️. It took me years to get to the point I was ready.  

Answer 80

People online are accountable to themselves. If you lie your only hirting yourselves I am online and I track the good and bad.  

Answer 81

I am lifetime but have been trying to work on it again. I do t lie because I am doing it for me and I’ll know if I lie or not so there’s no point really!  

Answer 82

Online only, down 57 pounds in 7 months never even crossed my mind to lie to myself

Answer 83

No I don't cheat. That would not help me get where I want to be.  

Answer 84

Why would anyone cheat on their weight? It’s only hurting them! It’s not going to affect you if they don’t lose weight!  

Answer 85

I am lifetime and do so much better going to the meetings, the encouragement and ideas from others
