TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted September 10, 2012 I think it would make me sad if I see I gain a pound that's why I don't go on the scale daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LosingItForMe2011 320 Posted September 10, 2012 I go on the scale daily as well but, I know there will be fluctuations. The only time I get upset is if it keeps going up and not coming back down. That hasn't happened with this surgery, if it went up a pound or two it was usually off within the next few days. I also remind myself that fluctuations in levels of hydration will make the scale move as well. 1 kristy3k reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mommytyree 98 Posted September 10, 2012 I learned early not to weigh every day. I get on the scale once a week and that is great for my mentality. Keeps me on track thru the week so I'm not disappointed when it's my day to weigh. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk 1 kristy3k reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsCook 38 Posted September 10, 2012 I admit to being a daily visitor to the scale. I find that I need that day-to-day feedback to ensure I stay on track. If I see it go up a touch, I am extra good the next day to ensure it comes back off very quickly. Just me, I suppose. 1 BBdoodle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted September 10, 2012 I'm like MsCook above, I am a dialy scale person too, I like to catch it early if I can for the same reasons above. Plus when I see a drop it gives me even more incentive to go that extra mile while working out I'm a daily weigher and dam proud of it - LOL 1 irshangel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ellie_Grace 271 Posted September 10, 2012 Okay... I'm weak... I stepped on the scale!!! But lost a pound. Woohoo... Another confession... Anyone step on the scale or move it around to get a different reading?? Lol!! I so totally do this. I also weigh daily, which was a bad thing until I learned to accept flucuations were part of the process as were stalls. Neither bother me in general except when I get close to a goal, like being below 200 (almost there now) and my evil body just to spite me puts me into a stall or that gain and lose bouncing game. I get annoyed but it does not get me down, now I just joke about it and know that eventually the weight will come off and I just up my game. Without the daily weigh-ins I think I would go into shock LOL....Honestly since I am on the losing track way more often then the gaining track right now I find weighing daily is very helpful and keeps me motivated (even on the days I lose since it just makes me work harder). I am guessing soon there will be a time when the weight loss really slows down less then that average 3 pound a week weight loss I am currently experiencing and then I might join the once a week weigh-in club!
