Damn scale!

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!!!!!!

    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

  • 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.

How far out from surgery? What is your Protein, caloric, Water intake? Are you eating anything you shouldn't be? Are you exercising?

I'm a little over 2 months post-op.

I don't eat much so I know I'm under 1,000 cals. I'm hitting close to 75-100 protein n yes, I've discovered potato chips ( I wasn't too big about them pre op)

Yes I exercise daily.

My scale isn't moving but I know I'm shrinking be cuz clothes aren't fitting but I want to see the numbers..

I track everything.. every bite of chips.. What are your carb counts.. Carbs should be low, protein high. Drop the chips.. Drop the juice.. too much sugar.. You could also be in a stall, they will happen.. but definitely watch those carbs/sugar.

I stalled for 2 weeks, added more Protein and calories and viola, lost 6 lbs last week! You can do it!!

Can you give me a few tips on meals? I'm trying to add more calories but I am at a loss of healthy foods.

chicken, Fish, avocado, steamed veggies, eggs, cheese sticks, olives, deli meat (watch sodium)..

Basically its almost back to low carb dieting again is the way to get results it sounds like

@@ladivaluz806 we have almost the same stats and I have been battling with 238-240 past couple of days...so aggravating.

meSparkle83,

Yep, full commiseration here! There’s not much you can do besides reassure yourself that you’re doing everything right. Are you eating right, drinking enough Water, and exercising? If so, all you can do is be patient. If not…back to the basics!

Good luck, and as long as you’re doing your part, the scale will do its part, eventually.

I weigh daily. I had an almost 3 week stall and it was so frustrating. This week I lost 9 pounds though. No clue how it happened, but it did. Be patient and keep up the hard work. Eventually your body will stop struggling against you and it will fall off.
