How often do you all jump on the scale?? What milestones are you taking updated pictures? I took on day of surgery...and am trying to stay away from the scale until my follow-up appointment on 11/26.

Thanks!

This may TOTALLY not be for you, but I weigh every day. For me it's like driving. I don't know where I am if I'm not looking at where I'm going. I know it can be a problem for some but when I have a bad day, I need to see the damage, get over it and move forward. When I have a good day, I need that feedback.

I should be taking more pictures, but I have a few group photos that show the change. I think that's going to be my only regret.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but my plan is to weigh weekly and to take pictures monthly. I also plan to take my measurements (from my neck down to my calfs) monthly.

Thanks for replying, ladies!...I want to look at the scale everyday!!! LOL I already don't believe the number I see, and its only been about 2 weeks!

OOO good call on the measurements...I should do that too...GOOD IDEA

Yeah, I will probably also do measurements when I stall, so that I can at least see some numbers going down (hopefully ).

Every Sunday morning. I weigh in, measure as take a picture. The weekly change is crazy.

I weigh everyday and log it in a monthly calendar. I try not to let the daily weights bother me, I look for a pattern of loss and calculate my loss monthly. I measure myself monthly and I haven't been good about taking taking pictures. Good Luck with your plan.

I weigh every day when I'm home. I didn't take almost any pictures until about 50 pounds down. I kinda wish I had. If I could go back and do it again I think I would take pictures about every 15 pounds and at every month milestone.
