Hello my names mandy and im a scaleaholic!!!!

[mandyMO 67]

I'm afraid that I've am becoming a scaleaholic!! Is it possible? I've been weighing myself every day sometimes twice a day ! I'm thinking my husband should hide it from and only allow me to get on it ever once in awhile! Does anybody else have this problem?

I am the same way, I really think I have become obsessed with my weight and since I have gained weight due to Water weight etc everytime I weight myself I become more and more depressed and discouraged and start second guessing myself about having the surgery.

I confess. I weigh myself daily and have found sometimes I'll weigh myself before bed just to see how my weight fluctuates.

I know I should only weigh myself once a week but its too early for that. I need daily confirmation that I am doing everything right!

My husband is worried... he thinks I am obsessed. But I spent too many years not worrying about my weight... its about time I did.

Hi, Mandy.

Right after surgery, I was weighing myself several times a day. I was so excited and thought I was going to lose by the minute. Now almost 5 months out and plenty of plateaus later, I get on the scale when I get on the scale. I don't have a certain day of the week or keep track.

Good luck with everything!

I admit I have always been somewhat of a "scale-a-holic"!!! Many times in the past, I'd have my husband hide it on me so that I would only weigh myself once a week. Since being banded I told him I "NEEDED" to weigh myself twice a week to be able to see the results and he hesitantly agreed. I wish that the number was not so important. Logically I know that other things are more important like: how we feel, our clothes being loser, etc. but I can't help but want to see that number go down fast!!! If you want Mandy (and others) we can have our husbands hide our scales and we can do a weigh in once a week. I know that helps me!

I totally agree ! I'm making him hide it today and I won't weigh myself till I go to the doctor next tuesday!

I am moving from TX to CA in 10 days. I will be living with my son for a month or so before my house closes. I will keep the scale packed until I get to my new house.

I havent been exercising the last few weeks and my loss has totally slowed down. It will be awhile before I get to a gym when I move too, and dont want to stress out until I get back to a normal life again.

Never weigh yourself more than once a day because you are almost guarenteed to weigh more later in the day. I also only weigh first thing in the morning after all bathroom visits; and before Breakfast.< /p>

I still get up in the morning and step on the scale every day. It has shown me that there is a pattern to my weight fluctuations during the month and also if my weight is creeping up. It just my way of holding myself accountable. Not saying it's the best way, it just works for me.

I also weigh in the morning, in the bathroom and before breakfast. But I try really really hard not to weigh at any other time....first few days after surgery....I weighed everytime I was near the bathroom...Not sure what I was actually expecting to see, lol!!

I too was a scaleaholic! But, I am happy to say that I have not weighed myself in 7-8 months. I was so obsessed with the scale that the number I saw in the morning determined how my day was going to be. It was NOT pretty! So, I threw my scale out. I was down about 50 lbs and my scale started fluctuating 2-3 lbs, up and down. It was making myself C-R-A-Z-Y! As it turned out the batteries in my scale were dying, so I threw it out and haven't weighed myself since! I am actually ready to get on a scale again. I know I am losing because my clothing size is 10/12 numbers down from when I started this journey. I worry that I will become obsessed again, but I think it's time.

I weigh myself daily with the Omron Full Body Sensor Body Fat and Body Composition Monitor scale. A big name for a scale that tells you your: weight, BMI, body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, basal metabolic rate (calories you need to maintain your current weight), body age, and visceral fat percentage.

I weight myself daily and monitor all of those things because it helps me to know if (a) I'm drinking enough Water ( I'm overindulging © if I'm experiencing my normal monthly fluctuation (d) if I'm building more muscle.

It may not be a good idea for some people but for me it helps keep me on track and reminds me to eat properly and move more so I can see the scale reflect my efforts (more with the body fat percentage and skeletal muscle percentage).
