No scale?

[Lisa G 14]

has anyone here avoided weighing themselves at home and just rely on doctor's scale? I have found in my pre-op eating plan that not having a working scale was a great benefit - as i didn't feel there was any way to "game" the system. Would love to hear some other thoughts.

Can’t say I HAVE gone through this process without a working scale, but I bet it would be a great approach. Honestly the most stressful points were the stalls and not knowing of them would have made it so much easier.

I was too large for any scale but my surgeons so it really wasn't a choice. But it was a tremendous benefit. I *never* saw a stall but rather consistent weight loss month after month. When I got to a weight where I fit on a home scale (which was a goal) I used it for a couple weeks, then got bored with it.

I learned that my surgeon really didn't care about my weight but was concerned with how I was doing on the plan, how was my life, was I having issues. In point of fact, my weight never came up unless I brought it up. I took all this to heart and stopped worrying about my weight but focused on my plan, how I felt, how my life was going.

I still don't weigh myself. I get weighed at my annual physical and that's it. I stay on plan and that aspect of my life takes care of itself. The rest is where my head is.

Good luck,
