Damn scale!



Recommended Posts

3 days ago I was 300.8. I was so excited but I've been battling getting under 300 for about a week now. Yesterday I stepped on the scale n weighed 302. I didn't panic till I got on the scale today n was back up to 303.

I'm pissy now!!

WTF......

I am trying my hardest to get under 300 but I'm not having any luck.

Please.... I'm open to suggestions...

Help!!!!!!

It's just a number. Yes...I understand it's an important number, but it's still just a number. Just do what you've been doing and stay off the scale for a while. Then when you do get on it, you should be under that 300 lb. mark by a nice amount.

That cruel scale danced around the 200lb mark for me for almost 2 weeks. But it finally dropped below and stayed there. Hang in there, it'll happen.

Try upping your calories & exercise. It worked for me when I was in a stall. Then I lowered my calories back a few days later.

Thanks everyone!

I appreciate the support!

I will take everyone's advice and have my daughter hide the scale again..

I know how you feel struggling to get out of the 300s myself. I'm down to 308, so if I don't stall, again, I should be under 3 by next week or so. Hang in there.

The scale can be really rude sometimes... Sometimes you can be carrying a little extra Fluid especially women, so try not to fret about it, keep doing the right thing and it will get back on track...

I have a love-hate affair with my scale. I am a daily weigher. I just am, and I feel it contributes to my success. Other people can do without it, and it's a personal choice. I just wanted to say that I feel your pain, and it's normal. Soon this will be a distant memory. To this day, I will still flip off and curse at the inanimate object, lol. So, yell at the thing, move on, and keep doing what you know you need to do.

I think you might have a lot of salt in your diet and lots of salt causes Water retention if so minimise your salt intake as much as you can and you may see about a 6 to 7 lb difference.

I agree about the salt. If I add salt to anything, it will be on my eggs at Breakfast. Later in the day, salt will tip the scale for me the next morning, too. To resist salt at lunch and dinner, I just add extra pepper or other herbs and spices.

Yeah I like to use Mrs. Dash instead of salt. At first I was a salt fanatic, so it took a little getting use to, but now I don't even think about it anymore.

@@meSparkle83 - you are a scale junkie! So am I.

I cannot get it to move under 240. I sooooo badly wanted to be there at the first f/u visit post surgery but NNnnnnooooooooOOOOoo, still 241.

I am going to watch my salt intake drink more and maybe bump the calories up a smidgen to see if my stall may break.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
