For Those Of You Who Are A Slave To The Scale: Some Advice!



Recommended Posts

I know personally it is very hard not to weigh yourself every day. I don't have the will power to just say I'll weigh myself once a week. And with normal day to day weight fluctuations it is very easy to get discouraged!

So do what I did... Give your scale to a friend or relative for them to keep at their house. That way, you can only weigh yourself when you go there. I gave mine to my cousin to hold, and I usually go over her house every 1-2 weeks or so, which is perfect! It is freeing to know the scale is not there waiting for me when I get up.

I even once had my sister hide it for me, but then I searched the whole house for it! It's so much easier when it's not even there! Just thought I'd share. Good luck!!!!

I keep my scale at work. I still weigh myself 5 days a week. I actually love it. I know each person is different, but seeing the day to day fluctuations keep me motivated and makes me work harder. Also, I love weighing myself after I've been off a couple of days because that's usually when I've lost the most. Everyone is different! :)

I weigh every day but only record the weight once a week. I use the scales to motivate me too, if i am a 1lb heavier i work even harder that day. To me its like when i was diabetic and not monitoring my sugar levels. We are all different tho and we all handle our way of dealing with this in our own way :) is a good idea tho !

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
