How ofter do you weigh



Recommended Posts

I have this cool scale and an app that goes with it called Weight Gurus. After you weigh yourself, you press a button and a scanner code comes up. You take a pic with your phone and it will automatically download the weight, muscle mass and body fat. I do it every day just cos it's cool.

Can anyone recommend a good scale? I have a welby digital that is not accurate. It changes by the minute, even with new batteries.

What about a balance scale like they use in doctors' offices?? LoL

Only thing I can recommend is if you have dumbbells, keep them close by and test the scale's accuracy before you weight. If its a little off, you can +|- the pounds to YOUR final number.

Good ideas with the scales. I jump on/off 3 time in a row making sure the number is consistent.

It's funny because before the band i would weigh every week IF that... after the band i find myself on the scale every day.. sometimes even twice... a switch has been flipped! HA but while i learned that i should not concentrate so much with the numbers but with the way my clothes feel.. So there is a group of us on IG that does Eff the scale challenges to keep us off them for so many days..

I weigh myself all the time and I know that makes me a "slave to the scale!" Anytime I'm at home I get on the scale - all hours of day & night. I work during the day (btw). I contribute some of my weight gain for not having a scale for a few years and it was "out of sight - out of mind." It's probably better to weigh once a week. Whatever is best for you! I'm a little psycho about it (lol) & I know I am!

Your weight can fluctuate every day by at least 3 to 9lbs. If you are going to be a scale watcher then you have to get over being disappointed when the numbers go up. Water weight and other things will only make the scale go up. You have to be patient if you are going to weigh everyday because if not you will make yourself crazy.

I weight every day....sigh....and am not proud of it but I'm just addicted I guess. I try to only count my Friday weights on myfitnesspal.com and I only document my monthly banding anniversaries (4th of each month) in my weight loss binder with my pictures and measurements. I know it's a terrible roller coaster and I don't recommend to anyone that you weight every day...but just wanted you to know you are not alone =(

      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.
