To weigh or not to weigh



Recommended Posts

How about taking measurements? You can see see your progress, without getting on the scales. Sometimes the scales show no loss, but the inches are melting off......

I can stretch that measuring tape. If I stretch it far enough, I will have a 25 inch waist again before it snaps. :girl_hug:

I have to stay off the scale. One day after I stepped on it and saw that plateau mark, I went off the deep end and have not gotten back on track since.

Unless you have the scale with low batteries that says you have lost 20 lbs overnight, you don't need to weigh. DOWN WITH GRAVITY!!! If I were on another planet I would see what I wanted to on the scale I am sure. (***wonder if anyone thinks I am from another planet for making the statement***)

Unfortunately, I have too many head issues to deal with a number on a scale. The number I see will depress me or make me happy, but either way I console myself with food or Celebrate with an ice cream cone. DOH!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
