How Often...weigh In/pictures



Recommended Posts

How often do you all jump on the scale? ? What milestones are you taking updated pictures? I took on day of surgery...and am trying to stay away from the scale until my follow-up appointment on 11/26.

Thanks!

Beth

This may TOTALLY not be for you, but I weigh every day. For me it's like driving. I don't know where I am if I'm not looking at where I'm going. I know it can be a problem for some but when I have a bad day, I need to see the damage, get over it and move forward. When I have a good day, I need that feedback.

I should be taking more pictures, but I have a few group photos that show the change. I think that's going to be my only regret.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but my plan is to weigh weekly and to take pictures monthly. I also plan to take my measurements (from my neck down to my calfs) monthly.

Yeah, I will probably also do measurements when I stall, so that I can at least see some numbers going down (hopefully :) ).

Every Sunday morning. I weigh in, measure as take a picture. The weekly change is crazy.

I weigh everyday and log it in a monthly calendar. I try not to let the daily weights bother me, I look for a pattern of loss and calculate my loss monthly. I measure myself monthly and I haven't been good about taking taking pictures. Good Luck with your plan.

I weigh every day when I'm home. I didn't take almost any pictures until about 50 pounds down. I kinda wish I had. If I could go back and do it again I think I would take pictures about every 15 pounds and at every month milestone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
