How Often Do You Record Measurements?

[Musharooni 62]

What is your personal schedule for recording measurements? I am weighing weekly, but am unsure as to what intervals to record my measurements.

I try to measure once a month. Otherwise, if the scale is not moving, I'll measure for encouragement, because I know there will be movement there!

I'm doing mine once a week, but I know a lot of people do them once a month. Just do what you're comfortable with.

About one a week, never more for weight, and I never took measurments...I have a tshirt thing I am using, lol.

I do measurements once a month. On my surgery anniversary.

I never started the measurements and I am dissapointed that I didnt. I know I have lost so many inches and I cant say how many...grrr! I went from a size 20 pant to a....drum roll please...a size 12!!! Yes, I went shopping last night and fit into a size 12 jean....sooo excited. Also from a 2-3x shirts to a regular size large...woo hoo! I would suggest once a month for the measurements. Best of luck!

Kimmy ..... Excellent ! love these type of encouraging posts....

Weekly for a while and once I saw that the VSG was going to work I went with watching how I fit in my clothes. I would then weigh every month. There just was too much up and down and no progress days that would be a downer when I was weighing too often. You will need all of the positive reinforcement you can get and nothing beats watching your sizes shrink in your clothes! Good Luck!

Honestly, just whenever I think about it.

I experienced a stall on the scale between weeks 2 & 3 but was seeing a difference in my clothes. I knew sooner or later it would happen & I needed to find something to keep me on the positive track. That's when I took my measurements & really wish I would have done it after my first visit with the surgeon because I know I've had some significant changes since I started this journey. I think I'm going to go with my monthly sleeveversary, too.

I weigh when I think about it or when I'm worried! I never did measure my waist or anything and I do sometimes regret that. I'd like to know how many inches have come off along with the 63lbs!

As part of my contract with surgeon I have to send in weight and measurements each month (using them as part of research) for at least 2 years. I am also taking a picture each month. Only 2 sets so far pre-op and 1 month post (I'm 6 weeks out)

I actually measure my inches every week. I get excited even if I lose a quarter inch! LOL I have a spreadsheet I log all my info in as well. All recorded and forumulated to keep tabs on all lost/gained/totals.

It's my Sunday morning ritual. That along with recording my photos, weight and body fat.

I am doing mine once a week. I started my pre-op diet on a Tuesday and took my measurements then and just decided I would continue to take them every Tuesday.
