That's a great reminder! With all the "I only lost X amount!" and "The scale won't move" posts, this is a nice pick me up for all of us. The scale does not define you! =) Thanks!

i say stay off the scale. weigh only once per month..........TOO MANY things influence tha "SCALE NUMBER".......... omg, I only lost a pound..........forget last time you weighed you gained 7 LBS............ you have had a lifesaving surgery... YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT, due to WHAT YOU ARE EATING calorie wise........ stay OFF the scale, it will ONLY DISCOURAGE you............ focus on liquids, working out................and how your clothes are fitting........NOT THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE!!!

Love it and so true!!!

I had my follow up with my surgeon yesterday and said something similar, while I still weigh myself everyday, the value I am getting from my life now is how I feel and how I look, the number is still a part of my journey, but the smallest part now.

Knocking this back to the TOP for those that are WORRIED about the # on the BEAST MACHINE....

reminder, you are going to lose weight, just because you cannot eat the CALORIES you ate before

FOCUS on your Water, Protein, Vitamins and working out....

you may not lose a pound, BUT those clothes are going to fit you differantly BECAUSE you are losing INCHES.....

I weighed the same for a MONTH....... did not lose ONE POUND, but after trying on a shirt that was TOO TIGHT, it is ALMOST TOO LOOSE!!. Please do not put so much focus on the # Enjoy your journey.... take care of your body... focus on the correct things.......... this is a NEW LIFESTYLE..... ROCK that sleeve! :) Ü

      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? 🤷‍♀️
