How Often Do You Weigh?



Recommended Posts

I would love to hear about weighing habits from everyone. I am one of those people that weigh every morning and often get discouraged if I see an increase or if the scale doesn't move. I am thinking about asking my husband to hide my scale and just weigh at the doctor's office every month. I might go through withdrawals. What do you do?

I weigh every single day and so that I can keep that accountability going. I also track all of my foods on myfitnesspal and go to the gym for 5-8 hours per week.

Don't get discouraged and keep up the good work!

I've been weighing everyday too! It's quite addictive! This week I'm trying something new...once a week weight check!

I've been weighing everyday as well. It can be discouraging and I'm trying to stop. However, as WestTnGirl said...it can keep you accountable too. Yeah...that's what I'm going to go with. Its not an obsession. Its keeping me accountable. :) best wishes to you all!

I only weigh in at the doctor's because day-to-day fluctuates so much that it would drive me crazy. And scales can really vary so there are only 2 that I consider the actual true numbers: The one at the doctor and the one at the surgeon's office.

About once a month to 6 weeks. It's worked well for me so far.

I think that I would drive myself crazy with it too. But I am concerned about waiting a month to weigh-in. Maybe I will have my poor hubby hide the scale and bring it out once a week for a weigh-in at home. hmmm...still need to work on this plan. I just know how obsessive I get with it.

I weigh myself daily and only record it once a week on Thursday. I don't obsess over the daily number, only the weekly one! :lol: It works for me!

Good Idea...then I can stay accountable as some of the other ladies suggested but only count the weekly weigh-in

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
