Some scales can be so picky! I just bought a high tech wifi scale (which seems to weigh perfectly) and the one I had before would do the 2-3 pound jump if you weighed a couple minutes apart. The only plus to that old one is that it said I weighed less. This new one agrees with the Dr's scale... Boy, was I sad when I had to add a couple pounds back to my "Lost" weight...

The Fitbit Aria. I use the Fitbit tracker device and log on their site, so it merges perfectly. It is right along the same lines as the Withing scale (which I almost bought before I heard that Fitbit was releasing one).

I love my weight watchers scale. it shows weight in small increments like 191.4 instead of just 191. For me thats a big help as i keep track of my weight in a daily log.If the scale goes up 2 lbs or more i start reassesing what diet and exercise has been like for the last 2 days. It really keeps me accountable very quickley !! And oh, its fun to watch that # go down !!!!

I agree! I have the same scale and I feel able to closely monitor my weight as well. I weigh every morning to make sure there's no huge fluctuations up. I only log it on Mondays though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
