How often do you weigh yourself?



Recommended Posts

I'm obsessed with the scale. I weigh myself every day. That way I know what I am eating is affecting me from the day before. So it helps me to know what not to eat.

When I'm on plan I weigh everyday,,,,, but when off I hide from the scale... since I am NOT banded yet I have not been on the scales....

I only weigh once a week, on Sundays. I would go insane with the daily fluctuations otherwise. I keep track of my weight with the desktop version of fitday. I love seeing the graphs and how it does my average weekly loss and predicts where I will be in the future weeks as well.

I have become a total scale addict. I weigh myself every morning when I wake up (3 X to make sure the scale is consistent). I also make an effort to weigh myself before hitting the gym and once again when I get home from the gym. I know the after gym weight loss is mostly Water weight, but if I am good, it usually doesn't creep back on by the morning.

If I don't weigh myself every morning, I have a tendency to rationalize that I've been better than I actualy have been. So... daily weigh-ins keep me honest and in check!

I used to weigh myself every morning until I realized the scale never registered any weight loss until about 8 days before the end of the month, and them BOOM....5 pounds gone. That's the way it's been for me for the last 5 months. Very strange...it would drive me crazy, week after week, and the scale would not move!

I have went from the scales being the devil to they are just a tool like my band to let me monitor my weight. I really feared scales. They would determine how I felt for that day!!

I wish everyones fears would dissapear and I also wish I had a million dollars. I would build a lap pool in my house. A girl can dream.

      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. 🤞
