I think that's a good way to look at weigh-ins. I view them as official progress markers so I pretty much do anything I can to make sure I'm down for the weigh-in. But I'm one of those personalities who seems to need external accountability controls. To disappoint my consultant seems unspeakable to me, although I really don't know her and in many ways probably shouldn't care what she thinks -- I do. I can't help it. I do. I want the impressed tongue clucking when she says "Hmm, wow, you're down another XX pounds. Good job!" Sigh.
