how often do you weigh yourself?



Recommended Posts

Simple question.. I think everyday is a little too much but weighing myself has become one of my favorite parts of my day! Just wanting some feedback to see what everyone one else says! :) Thanks!

I do not have scales at home but from experience before losing weight....scales kept me in check! If i had scales now maybe I wouldn't be up almost 10 lbs! (I'm 1 year 3 months out)....

I don't own a scale, so I try to check my weight about once/week at work so I have something to post on my ticker. It's probably not super accurate since I am fully clothed, sometimes with boots and jacket and sometimes before Breakfast and sometimes after a lunch or snack, depending on when I remember to do it. But it gives me a general idea of my trends.

Hi! Like you weighing myself has become one of my favorite parts of the day I'm loving seeing numbers that begin with a 2 instead of a 3. However, I only record the weight on a weekly basis, so the fluctuations between days "don't count".

I only weigh myself once a month. If I were to weigh everyday it would screw with my mind. If the scale was down I would think great I can eat more. If the scale was up I would say, screw it why bother. This is working great for me. As long as my clothes feel better I am happy. I do take my measurements every 2 weeks and that really helps.

I weigh daily, same time. I keep a spreadsheet with my numbers. I need to be able to see and track.

I weigh myself everyday. I feel like it really messes with my head though. I need to weigh only once a week. I let the scale affect my mood. I think I need my husband to take the scale away. I see it and I weigh. Not good

I've been weighing everyday and I think it's becoming somewhat of an obsession and I just don't know if it's the best idea. It's good to know I might not be going crazy.

I weigh myself once, every morning when I wake up, and write it down in a calendar. I've been doing this for years and I notice the times where my weight really went up were the times when I wasn't weighing every day. It keeps you cognizant of gains a lot more quickly than if you only weigh every once in awhile.

I use to weigh myself every morning and it would always mess with my mind. Like one minute after a hard work out I would be down about 5 lbs. Then go home drink Water and go to sleep. Then in the morning weigh my self and have gained like 3 lbs back. It was a mind game even when I know it was probably water weight. So now I weigh in either once a week or every 2 weeks.

I weigh myself every morning when I wake up right before my shower. I did that even before my surgery.

Everyday. I keep track of my first morning weigh in but then jump on and off that thing all day long. It's an obsession....and not a healthy one.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
