I Hate My Scale

Some scales can be so picky! I just bought a high tech wifi scale (which seems to weigh perfectly) and the one I had before would do the 2-3 pound jump if you weighed a couple minutes apart. The only plus to that old one is that it said I weighed less. This new one agrees with the Dr's scale... Boy, was I sad when I had to add a couple pounds back to my "Lost" weight...

The Fitbit Aria. I use the Fitbit tracker device and log on their site, so it merges perfectly. It is right along the same lines as the Withing scale (which I almost bought before I heard that Fitbit was releasing one).

I love my weight watchers scale. it shows weight in small increments like 191.4 instead of just 191. For me thats a big help as i keep track of my weight in a daily log.If the scale goes up 2 lbs or more i start reassesing what diet and exercise has been like for the last 2 days. It really keeps me accountable very quickley !! And oh, its fun to watch that # go down !!!!

I agree! I have the same scale and I feel able to closely monitor my weight as well. I weigh every morning to make sure there's no huge fluctuations up. I only log it on Mondays though.

      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.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
