Do you update your weight loss in a ticker/program/website/app for each pound?



Recommended Posts

How many of you update each pound in some sort of program/website/app/ticker?

How many different ones?

I just find it funny how many places I update my weight for each pound I lose....

- Weightbot (iPhone app)

- Calorie Counter (iPhone app)

- Weight Loss Ticker (myfitnesspal.com)

- My Signature here

- My Bandster Profile here

- My Lapband Journey (lapband.com)

- DietOrganizer (program on my computer)

I update both of mine after each pound I lose. I don't touch them when I gain 1 :smile2:

I use Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... as do the majority here.

Below is my over all ticker and my since surgery ticker is in my siggy.

I update my ticker and I keep track on my calendar (where I also keep track of my goal weight for each week).

Heck, I don't even necessarily wait until I have a full pound ---I change my ticker for 0.2 down, if that's what the scale says :smile2:

I update on Mondays for the 4th of July Challenge and I'll update my regular ticker then as well. I will also edit my regular one after any kind of doctor visit, because I recalibrate my scale at that time as well.

this is the only site where I have a ticker. I update it every 2 to 3 pounds.

Originally I was updating my ticker for every loss but now I've decided to just do it on Mondays on my official weigh-in day because if I don't it's harder for me to see the big picture when I change it everytime I see a loss on the scale.< /p>

I update mine on weigh-in days, which is Friday for me. Good news, bad news, or no news, I update it. Also update my iPhone app Tap&Track.

Just ordered a bodybugg, so I guess I'll soon add that as well.

I update mine monthly. I cant tell how many pounds Ive REALLY lost until after a month when I consistently weigh in at a specific weight. I tend to go up and down between one and two pounds before its officially off.

If I'm down a tenth of a pound I change it on my ticker and in an app. if I'm up, only I know.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
