How often do you weigh yourself?



Recommended Posts

I'm obsessed with the scale. I weigh myself every day. That way I know what I am eating is affecting me from the day before. So it helps me to know what not to eat.

When I'm on plan I weigh everyday,,,,, but when off I hide from the scale... since I am NOT banded yet I have not been on the scales....

I only weigh once a week, on Sundays. I would go insane with the daily fluctuations otherwise. I keep track of my weight with the desktop version of fitday. I love seeing the graphs and how it does my average weekly loss and predicts where I will be in the future weeks as well.

I have become a total scale addict. I weigh myself every morning when I wake up (3 X to make sure the scale is consistent). I also make an effort to weigh myself before hitting the gym and once again when I get home from the gym. I know the after gym weight loss is mostly Water weight, but if I am good, it usually doesn't creep back on by the morning.

If I don't weigh myself every morning, I have a tendency to rationalize that I've been better than I actualy have been. So... daily weigh-ins keep me honest and in check!

I used to weigh myself every morning until I realized the scale never registered any weight loss until about 8 days before the end of the month, and them BOOM....5 pounds gone. That's the way it's been for me for the last 5 months. Very strange...it would drive me crazy, week after week, and the scale would not move!

I have went from the scales being the devil to they are just a tool like my band to let me monitor my weight. I really feared scales. They would determine how I felt for that day!!

I wish everyones fears would dissapear and I also wish I had a million dollars. I would build a lap pool in my house. A girl can dream.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
