How Often Do You Weigh Yourself?

When I started this journey back in the summer, based on recommendations here and other places, I got the RENPHO smart scale. I'm very happy with it so far. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083S5W3PD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Did some reading on this one, the scale itself got pretty good reviews (the app however does not)...weight to the 100th lb on the device itself...exactly what I was looking for! If this had been available back when I was looking for one, it would have definitely been a contender.

Edited to add: Hmmm.....I see that there are actually more scales now out there with weight displays to 2 decimal points!

Well thanks to you all, and an Amazon Black Friday sale, I actually weigh myself TWICE each morning now! I haven't been able to hook my scale to bluetooth (either of them....grrrrr) but I will ask my son to figure it out tomorrow. I have a Fitbit scale and the Renphro and they are weighing consistently, although this morning the Renphro was 0.1 favorable, so that's the weight I went with!! LOL

For those that don’t have a Renpho, hop on Amazon and grab one! Can’t beat the price. This is what it looks like on my phone. Just have to open the app on your phone then step on scale. So easy!

I should get one. They're incredible affordable.

For those of you who weigh every day, how many pounds gain do you accept until the alarm bell goes off?

I'd say 3 pounds is the alarm bell for me.

I weigh myself once a week, except this week, I weighed twice and was disappointed. Still lost, but not as much as I had hoped. Sticking to once a week from now on.

Every. Single. Day.

100% of the time when I stop weighing, it’s because I don’t want to see what it’s going to say. As a result, over the past 3-4 years I’ve gained 60 pounds, in 5-10 pound increments during periods of not stepping on the scale. Sigh. So, I’m back to daily weights.

I have been worried about this, and am going to preventatively have my husband do the same! I am going to weigh myself Tuesday morning when I start the liquid diet, the morning of surgery in 15 days (eeeeek!) and then monthly after that. I don’t want to fall into the trap of measuring “success” in that way from the beginning!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
