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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
