Jumping on the scale



Recommended Posts

I know we are only supposed to weigh ourselves once a week at most, but I find myself jumping on there just about every morning. Anyone else? When I weighed myself this morning, it said 252, which would mean I have lost 20 lbs...but I realize that it was my morning weight, without any food or liquids in my body...so I won't believe that number until it sticks around a little :laugh:

I'm horrible at weighing almost every day. I don't know why I do it! I get so discouraged when my weight fluctuates, you'd think I'd learn my lesson.

I guess I'm just really sweating losing the 20 lbs my doc wanted me to before surgery, because of my thyroid problems, and now possibly gallstones. I think I may have to go all Protein shakes for the last two weeks. :laugh:

I know it's considered 'bad' to weigh in too often.

I too weigh myself every day now. But I don't stress too much about normal fluctuations.

Here is what I know about ME -- If I'm not getting on the scale, it's because I'm hiding from the truth. So when I am getting on, it means I'm expecting to be rewarded by the results. It's a good thing when I climb on every day - even if I don't see actual results every day.

linda, that's a good attitude to have towards weighing in!

normally, i don't mind the ups and downs either, cuz i know it'll work itself out. i think it's just having a deadline to meet this goal that's got me :eek:

I don't own a scale, so I can't weigh in...only when I go to someone else's house who has a scale! That way I don't obsess with the number.

It really doesn't matter if you weigh once a month, once a week, or 10 times per day. It's your attitude toward the scale that makes the difference. If weighing gets you "down", then don't do it!

I am so excited about my weight loss that I get on the scale every time I walk by it!!! I KNOW I'll never see those numbers again!!! :hurray:It's a great reminder that I'm not OBESE anymore!! And in a very few months I won't even be overweight anymore!!

So, keep this in mind when you step on the scale and it doesn't say what you want it to...at least it's NOT saying what it once did!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
