Do you update your weight loss in a ticker/program/website/app for each pound?



Recommended Posts

How many of you update each pound in some sort of program/website/app/ticker?

How many different ones?

I just find it funny how many places I update my weight for each pound I lose....

- Weightbot (iPhone app)

- Calorie Counter (iPhone app)

- Weight Loss Ticker (myfitnesspal.com)

- My Signature here

- My Bandster Profile here

- My Lapband Journey (lapband.com)

- DietOrganizer (program on my computer)

I update both of mine after each pound I lose. I don't touch them when I gain 1 :smile2:

I use Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... as do the majority here.

Below is my over all ticker and my since surgery ticker is in my siggy.

I update my ticker and I keep track on my calendar (where I also keep track of my goal weight for each week).

Heck, I don't even necessarily wait until I have a full pound ---I change my ticker for 0.2 down, if that's what the scale says :smile2:

I update on Mondays for the 4th of July Challenge and I'll update my regular ticker then as well. I will also edit my regular one after any kind of doctor visit, because I recalibrate my scale at that time as well.

this is the only site where I have a ticker. I update it every 2 to 3 pounds.

Originally I was updating my ticker for every loss but now I've decided to just do it on Mondays on my official weigh-in day because if I don't it's harder for me to see the big picture when I change it everytime I see a loss on the scale.< /p>

I update mine on weigh-in days, which is Friday for me. Good news, bad news, or no news, I update it. Also update my iPhone app Tap&Track.

Just ordered a bodybugg, so I guess I'll soon add that as well.

I update mine monthly. I cant tell how many pounds Ive REALLY lost until after a month when I consistently weigh in at a specific weight. I tend to go up and down between one and two pounds before its officially off.

If I'm down a tenth of a pound I change it on my ticker and in an app. if I'm up, only I know.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
