I just wanted to see if anyone felt like me i dont feel like im losing what the scale is telling me. in my mind i feel like when i went for my 3 month check somehow i was standing on scale wrong and got my weight wrong idk my mind is kind of confused right now

How much do you think you have lost? 140 is a lot to not feel like you have lost that much. Do you think you lost more or less?

I havn't lost that amount of weight but I did feel like that a couple of weeks back. Now I see it but still don't feel it. My problem is my back along with hip and knee pain. The weight loss has relieved some lower back pain but neck and mid back pain limit me. What was your weight going into surgery? You've done great so far but curious what you started at that makes 140lbs of loss not noticeable. CONGRATS btw!!!!!!

People tend to forget or just not realize weight loss is not only a physical change but a mental. Your body has changed faster than your brain has had time to process. That's why photos are always a huge help to help with mental growth. When our minds don't follow our weight loss progress it has been known to slow progress and sometimes cause regression in weight gain. Don't let this happen to you.

Losing 140lbs in four months is a lot of weight and I'm sure any psychologist would tell you that your mind has to catch up to your body.

I can tell you from a personal experience, the scale means everything to me for psychological reasons. So for me the scale doesn't move, but my clothing sizes do and because I can't see the weight change, I have failed in the past (prior to wls) because of this.

Take your time, don't be in a rush to lose the weight and allow your mind and body to change together. You'll find in the long run it's much easier and healthier.

But CONGRATS on the huge weightloss, that's amazing.
