And you have resources to fall back on as for what worked and what didn't.<BR/><BR/>As far a public acknowledgment on a loss or gain, as long as everybody gets an equal share of <B>yea or nea</B>, then go for it. It may be just enough to push a person to work a little harder! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for looking at my Blog.<BR/><B>-MileHighDad</B><BR/>http://www.milehighdad.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953449975365203822.post-32227758998349485782008-06-07T19:36:00.000-05:002008-06-07T19:36:00.000-05:00I'm a few days late, but CONGRATULATIONS on Ben's ...I'm a few days late, but CONGRATULATIONS on Ben's arrival. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004603944568074097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953449975365203822.post-69089094830446958452008-06-07T08:58:00.000-05:002008-06-07T08:58:00.000-05:00My leader always asks how the week was and how I t...My leader always asks how the week was and how I thought I had done while she is weighing me in. Any gain of under a pound is given a comment like Dee mentioned.<BR/><BR/>And I think it is important to keep the big picture in perspective. When I was just barely moving down the scale as I approached my goal weight and would have that occasional gain, the receptionist was always really complimentary as to my OVERALL progress. That was a good reminder to keep my perspective.<BR/><BR/>And if the leader offers up something to work on for the next week (moving more, 8 GHG's, water intake), you could always ask how they did with that. It's not just the number on the scale, but the whole lifestyle change.noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587354790255284059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953449975365203822.post-89056344091428344622008-06-06T15:58:00.000-05:002008-06-06T15:58:00.000-05:00One thing that I always noticed was how some recep...One thing that I always noticed was how some receptionists made a big deal over certain people, while others faced relative silence. I always appreciated when the receptionist put my gain in perspective like "that's only a half pound...you can remedy that by next week for sure!" Something that was encouraging. Or even like "well, you lost 3 lbs. two weeks ago - so you gained a pound this week, but keep at it -- I'm sure you've got another big loss coming up again (especially if you see such a pattern). But the biggest disappointment, like I said earlier, was feeling that I wasn't worthy of some encouragement -- that was only for the well-known WW's customers. That really hit me, besides the gain. Make sense?

I don't know the answer because I think it hurts no matter what the receptionist does.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040416772190103045noreply@blogger.com
