I Rarely Get On The Scale; Clothes Falling Off



Recommended Posts

I rarely get on the scale, because the scale can be discouraging. However, my clothes are falling off of me, that is how I know that I am losing. I bought a pair of capri pants in a size 12, and they fit for minute. I told myself, I know that this 12 is not loose, and they sure were, on my way to a size 10. Wow, I am shrinking, and I am excited. Went walking about 2 miles today and it felt great! I don't know whether I am stalling or not, I stay off the scale until I know that I have went down a size.

Good for you Cali. I've gone from 18's fitting tightly to 14's fitting loosely. I can't wait to be in a 12!

I don't do the scale much either because the scale had always been my biggest trigger. I'm 13 days post op and have weighed myself once- at 8 days postop - I'm gonna wait until next week cuz I have my monthly visitor and I feel so bloated and I don't want to get discouraged.

I know what you mean by the "visitor", same thing here. That is one reason I stay off.

I only weigh when required for a Dr. visit. For now, anyway.

Not seeing much change in clothing so I suspect I am not moving much right now. I have some things that are tight enough that a small change should register. ;)

scales suck.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
