How often do you weigh yourself?



Recommended Posts

I find that weighing myself everyday was not good for me....however, I know several people who do weigh in daily, and they are fine. I jump on the scale on the 19th of the month, and track from there, since the 19th is the day of the month I had my surgery.

Looks like it's working for you!

Since I began with preop Ive tried to just stick with once a week. I was banded on 10/28 and just weighed myself today. I don't have a scale at home but have one in my office. Today was my first day back at work so I weighed. But I weighed myself at least twice today. Think it's because I couldn't believe my eyes. lol. Anyway, I'd like to stick with once a week because I tend to get down if I do it more often, but we'll see.

I also weigh myself everyday, mostly to keep me on track and also because it is so exciting to actually see my weight keep going down. I have been stuck the last couple of weeks but I love seeing the number that is on the scale, its been way to long since I have seen a number like that with me on the scale! I love my band! :frown:

Im one of those once a day, or once every other day people, but I usually record it maybe once or twice a week. Ive taken what my surgeon said in stride (you'll flux 3lbs over and thats normal) so I like to see if Im consistant, or if that 3lbs is a flux. It hasnt sent me into a spiriling eating disorder yet, so Im gonna go with it for now :thumbup:

I weight myself every day. Sometimes i do not feel like I am loosing at all when I miss a day or two. Then I get on the scale and it is a great surprise - I loose pound by pound. Sometimes I stay on the same number for a couple of days which does make me feel like I am doing something wrong and I know that is not the case but eventually my numbers go down.

So, every day...

I weight myself almost daily, but I don't record it until I have a "for sure" weight loss. I need to see the same number at least 2 days in a row before I believe it!

I try to weigh myself every Friday since that was the day I was banded. If I do it too much then I get discouraged and it's too easy for me to start starving myself (recovering anorexic--I know it's weird that I went the completely opposite way!)

I weigh just about every morning, first thing. Use the bathroom, weigh, brush my teeth, that's my routine.

But, I don't record my weighs at home. Only the ones at my surgeons office. I'm sure that will change once I start going less, but right now I'm going once a month, so it works.

I've decided to no longer weigh myself everyday. I'm getting discouraged now that I'm in a plateau stage again. I also stopped using fitday, which was a big no-no on my part.

I weigh daily. I can't stand not knowing. It helps keep me focused. Before I was banded I avoided the scale for months because I didn't want to see what it had to say. I am always motivated to weigh when I know that I've been good ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
