njs_star627 19 Posted April 25, 2012 I am currently 9 days out. Hid my scale and rufuse to pull it back out until weekly weigh in day. Saw my Dr he is pleased with my progress. I am now concerned with getting my Protein in. I'm going to head to GNC and purchase some Protein Powder simply cause I'm having hard time getting my Protein Shakes in so I'll trick my Water and what not. I'm noticing my dimples get deeper and my face shrink. I'm training my mind now to watch my body not the scale for when stalls hit 3 Ms skinniness, ursiboo72 and 5DogMa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta_35 129 Posted April 25, 2012 Good Girl! A lot people say its good to weigh everyday, but am totally against that concept. It will DRIVE YOU CRAZY. Pick one day a week, and leave that scale be!

ursiboo72 21 Posted April 25, 2012 I'm doing the same. I see my nutritionist today for the weigh in since my sleeve surgery on April 11. I have noticed my face is getting smaller too. I wish you continued success on your weight loss journey. 1 Delta_35 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2bfit 62 Posted April 25, 2012 Take your measurements now. That way if the scale is not moving you will continue to be motivated because you will see that you are losing inches. Trust me, knowing that I was losing something, even if it was inches was better than nothing when the scale would not move. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deltadawn817 106 Posted April 25, 2012 I have found I do better wtih twice a week if not that scale is nagging me. I shoot for Friday and Monday so I can see how bad I was over the weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randalljohn 22 Posted April 25, 2012 I'll probably have my wife hide our scale. I can see it may be an obsessive problem for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadouni 301 Posted April 25, 2012 I've been more hiding from my scale because I haven't been exercising! But... I got my fanny back on the treadmill last night so hopefully I can turn that around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted April 25, 2012 With 100% sincerity, I think that ditching the scale is the single best thing we can do for ourselves while we're trying to lose weight. Yes, even better than exercise. I am only weighing when I'm at a medical office. I'm 1 month out and can only guess my weight based on what my clothes are doing. In a month I'll have my 2 month post-op and will know the pounds then. scales are such a horrible, horrible way to track weightloss. Of all the options out there, they are the worst. I despise what they do to people, mentally. 1 5DogMa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ambly 0 Posted April 25, 2012 I think that ditching the scale is the single best thing we can do for ourselves while we're trying to lose weight. Agreed, I don't even own a scale. I know from past weight loss attempts that I get way too obsessive and let the stall get to me. There is a certain level of freedom in knowing that Im eating right, getting my Water in, exercising, and that the weight has to be coming off because of it.
