Very Confused--Weight Up



Recommended Posts

Okay so I went to work out 2 weeks ago and the scale said I was down 17 lbs--at my 4 week check up I hadn't lost anything so this was 2 weeks later---I was shocked but the lady nearby said the scales had weighed her right even a little heavy--I worked out that week Mon-Fri--I did 30 minutes of cardio 4 days and weight for 15-20 minutes 4 days and for 45 minutes one day--the next Monday I weighed, on the same scale as before and had gone up 26lbs--I was discouraged and decided to only weigh next time at my next doctor visit on December 13--I completed my second week of exercie as before--I am going before work and working out 45-50 minutes. I am also discouraged because no one has noticed my weight loss at work--I wear scrubs and they disguise alot--they feel baggy on me--my children have both remarked on my weight loss but I want someone who doesn't know about the surgery to notice--vain I know but it just feels good when someone notices--so my question is this WTH is going on with that scale? any help or comments greatly appreciated--I just don't want to get discouraged and stop working out and working towards my goal.

It's a marathon not a sprit!

I would not trust a public scale at a gym - most likely it isn't cared for or calibrated like it should be. I am sure your Dr's office wouldn't mind you stopping in to check on their scales.< /p>

I am almost 4 weeks post op and I haven't lost anything since 8 August. The scale has fluctuated between 202 and 204 since 8 August. It is very frustrating and discouraging to say the least. I started at 216, so to only lose 12 pound the first month is certainly not what I expected......I am feeling very down with this....

Don't despair!! I lost 50 lbs preop, but people didn't start to remark on my weight loss until I had lost 35-40 lbs!! It was disheartening but I KNEW I was doing great. And now I am 6 weeks Postop. Lost 20 lbs the first month and nothing since!! But I am resilient!! It will happen!

Yeah! Down 5 lbs and on my cycle also so it may be more. I think it was to many Carbs. Trying to stay 30-50 carbs per day. Hopefully I now have the key. Thanks for all of your support and help.
