I weigh daily - every morning after a bathroom stop (TMI). I have been consistent. I am starting to relax about stalls and minor fluctuation, Last week was tough, as I was on vacation, and our vacation house didn't have a scale. I was worried all week!

Not at all! I decided not to get a scale, temptation removed....

It’s tough. My desk is right in my bedroom by the scale. It’s too easy.

@GreenTealael I'm pretty tempted by that honestly, it must take a lot of self control!

Only at Doctor's appointments, I lose slowly and stall often. I'd go mad if I was weighing at home.

@it'sonlythefirststep @FancyChristine15 Thank you for sharing!!
I'm leaning toward weekly my self, sounds like it might be the sweet spot. And you both seem like you're doing great that way!

I definitely don't want to get obsessed, and I know I'm pretty easily discouraged sooo...seeing every little up, stall or fluctuation would probably make me crazy.

@Matt Z Props though! WOW is that dedicated! I think the making sure as many things are the same as can be for every weigh in is a really, really good idea. Looks like its really working for you too! Thanks for sharing!

I weigh weekly on sundays as I get up after I use the bathroom. But I do cheat sometimes and weigh myself during the week since I work from home. I try not to because weight fluctuates so much during the week and i don’t want to panic myself.

No matter what you do, try to make sure you weigh in the same exact way each time. Same time of day, same amount of clothing (or none) same routine before hand etc etc etc.

I weigh in daily. I wouldn't advise it. I think weekly would be a decent number to shoot for.
I say I don't advise a daily weigh in, because, well, it gets maddening.

I do it to keep a trend. My scale tracks body fat % as well, so I use my daily weigh ins as a method to ensure I'm tracking the trend of my weight and body fat losses. It's also easy for me to keep it in my daily wake up routine to ensure the best possible consistency.

I get up, get a cup of coffee, drink a bunch of Water, veg out on the throne for a while, then I do some stretching and I check my weight. Pretty much the same exact time every morning (the weekends are my only variations to this).

It's frustrating and maddening because, you see every increase and stall. Having the body fat % as well helps, because there are plenty of times when I stall out or gain and my body fat drops.

I weigh once a week on Thursdays (which was surgery day).

There is a scale at my work, so I weigh every Monday morning right after I get to work. I like weighing weekly, as it lets me know how I'm doing, but I'm not obsessing over weight at all, which is how I am personally if I weigh daily.

I'm wondering how often everyone is weighing them selves?

I waited a week to look (this morning) after my surgery. I found the number exciting, but I know it wont always be this substantial. . .

Does getting on the scale daily/weekly/ect get anyone down?
Or do you find it motivating?

Is there a sweet spot frequency wise?

Rooting for you! It WILL happen! 🤗
Wearing my wedding ring again has been 1 of my favorite NSV!

The choice is yours it appears but:
Are you willing to have multiple scopes, swallow tests, dialiations and metabolic surgeries?
Or fight insurance companies to get the revision approved?
Or pay for it out of pocket if not approved but necessary say if your insurance and policy changes?
Or regaining because your GERD derails your efforts by making it impossible to tolerate anything but Carby foods (this is what I see alot of regain/GERD revisers claim, not sure if it's true)?
Or the risks of having RNY at a lower weight if you lose the weight necessary but develop issues?
You may have smooth sailing but perhaps not. I strongly suggest weighing the risks and positive outcomes of both procedures and go with the safest for you.

Guess I’m crazy, cause my NSV is that my wedding ring is almost too big for me. This means it’s time for an upgrade!! 😆😆

I got my rings on! I was so excited! I haven't worn them in over 4 years. I am 9 week s post op, so October is doable for you!
My other NSV today was when I got I the car, looked down and I could actually see the seat! Not my belly and legs covering it up! Plus, I also had to buy new underwear because ally other ones were falling off!

my 20th wedding anniversary is coming up Oct. 10 my goal is to be able to put my wedding ring on again as a surprise. its been 13 years since i could wear, I am only 11 days post op. cross your fingers I can reach this goal.

Went to Breakfast yesterday on the motorcycle with my husband at one of our favorite diners. Rode about 160 miles round trip. I have not been able or willing to ride with him in 2 and 1/2 years so this is a major non scale victory for me. It was fabulous!! And NO I did not have any pie

My first little NSV 12 days out from sleeve - I left my clothes in the dryer until fully dry, not worrying about shrinkage.

Went shopping yesterday: I officially DO NOT wear plus sizes anymore!
A whole world of possibilities has opened up! It is exciting and overwhelming.
BYE Torrid, Lane Bryant, and the scary back corner of Macy's!

So happy for you!
And glad that you feel healthy and strong 😁

I didn't have laser skin tightening, I had IPL (intense pulsed light). At age 57 after a 100lb weight loss, there was so much loose skin on my face I had a facelift, but I 'll bet if I were younger I could have gotten by with IPL. Around my eyes, where I had IPL about 18 years ago, the skin was tight and my facelift surgeon asked if I had had my eyes "done." Nope, just IPL.

I have one! My teen daughter has been raiding my college for clothes from my "old days I'll never fit these again but I refuse to give them up" bins for a couple of years now. This weekend, she gave clothes to ME! She came home from college and gave me two pairs of jeans she doesn't like because I am down to a size 14!! And a few tops that fit me too. It's crazy. I wore trendy skinny jeans of hers (now mine) Friday and couldn't believe it was me!

So lets do a face to face Friday! I also had some non-scale victories this week. My daughters teacher from the last 2 years did not recognize me! And my fitbit is on the last notch so I need to get a size small band now! Geez I really hate the older picture. I can finally stand to have my picture taken now though!

So I went shopping with my mom yesterday and she forced me to try on a cream coloured jacket which I NEVER would have touched before because I didn’t want to look like a marshmallow. I decided to humour her and put it on....and not only did it fit but it looked good!! Woot woot!!! Best part is it was a size LARGE!!! When I started my journey (3 months ago) I was a size 4X and sometimes it still wouldn’t fit. I can’t believe how much has changed.

No more Xs for this lady!!!

I’m in the same boat. My butt is so flat it sometimes hurts to sit down. If there was only a way to transport the fat around my stomach into the bags that used to be my butt cheeks!🤣😩😩😩🤣
