January 9, 201412 yr Was just sleeved on January 6th and I'm doing fabulous. I have not weighed yet because I do not want to be disappointed. Just curious about how often everyone weighs.
January 9, 201412 yr I weigh once per week. In the beginning when the weight was coming off really fast, I weighed every day, sometimes more than once per day. Then when I hit the dreaded stall between weeks 3 and 4, I became obsessed with the scale and it not moving. My husband hid the scale from me and it was a welcome relief that I couldn't weigh myself any more than that. For me, weighing once per week works - I can see the progress in my clothes - even though the scale wasn't moving during my stall, I was losing inches. I wish you great success!
January 9, 201412 yr Most dont recommend it and I try not to obsess about it but I weigh every morning
January 9, 201412 yr Most dont recommend it and I try not to obsess about it but I weigh every morning ...and sometimes at night. Lol... but who's obsessing?
January 9, 201412 yr in the beginning, i did weigh myself often...but now, once a week or every other week... I try not to be obsessed by the number on the scale; but more of how I am feeling...
January 9, 201412 yr I hardly ever weigh myself.....I never did when I was fluffy and see no reason to do it constantly now.....I feel the loss in my clothes and how I feel and mostly let the team weigh me......Then i am never disappointed...
January 9, 201412 yr For the first six months after my surgery I weighed every other Friday, plus days when I had a dr appointment and on my "surgiversary" date (the 19th). By limiting the number of times I weighed, I never experienced a stall or plateau or anything like that. Every time I stepped on the scale, I had gone down. So I wasn't ever stressed out about how much I was losing, or not losing. At the six month mark, I switched up my routine. Weight loss gets harder and I knew I needed to monitor more carefully to catch any problems right away. So now what I do is I weigh every day and note the weight in my phone, but don't consider it an "official" weight. Each Saturday morning I calculate my average weight over the last seven days and enter that into MFP as my "official" weight. Doing an average is, I think, a lot more accurate than recording or caring about small daily fluctuations that could be caused by almost anything. Or nothing. And it is working for me, my weight continues to go down regularly when I look at my weight loss chart on MFP. In fact, everyone said weight loss slows down dramatically after six months but so far I'm on track to lose more in month seven than I did in any month since my first month after surgery! Hopefully it continues.
January 9, 201412 yr I weigh every morning too. It is about accountability for me, nothing else. That way, when I go to put something in my mouth I should not I can say to myself "did you like the number today?" And "do you want that number to change?" Personal preference I think...
January 9, 201412 yr I had a doctor tell me to weigh every morning, so that's what I do...I do admit it that stalls probably aren't as frustrating if you don't weigh every day though. I think it took 10 days to start seeing my weight go down after surgery though. Congrats on your surgery!
January 9, 201412 yr I weigh at least once a day. My doctor's tell me I should weigh no more then once a week. I'm a little obsessive.
January 9, 201412 yr I don't own a scale, so about once a week at work when I remember so I have something to put on my ticker . I'm gauging my success with NSV's.
