how often do you weigh yourself?



Recommended Posts

Simple question.. I think everyday is a little too much but weighing myself has become one of my favorite parts of my day! Just wanting some feedback to see what everyone one else says! :) Thanks!

I do not have scales at home but from experience before losing weight....scales kept me in check! If i had scales now maybe I wouldn't be up almost 10 lbs! (I'm 1 year 3 months out)....

I don't own a scale, so I try to check my weight about once/week at work so I have something to post on my ticker. It's probably not super accurate since I am fully clothed, sometimes with boots and jacket and sometimes before Breakfast and sometimes after a lunch or snack, depending on when I remember to do it. But it gives me a general idea of my trends.

Hi! Like you weighing myself has become one of my favorite parts of the day I'm loving seeing numbers that begin with a 2 instead of a 3. However, I only record the weight on a weekly basis, so the fluctuations between days "don't count".

I only weigh myself once a month. If I were to weigh everyday it would screw with my mind. If the scale was down I would think great I can eat more. If the scale was up I would say, screw it why bother. This is working great for me. As long as my clothes feel better I am happy. I do take my measurements every 2 weeks and that really helps.

I weigh daily, same time. I keep a spreadsheet with my numbers. I need to be able to see and track.

I weigh myself everyday. I feel like it really messes with my head though. I need to weigh only once a week. I let the scale affect my mood. I think I need my husband to take the scale away. I see it and I weigh. Not good

I've been weighing everyday and I think it's becoming somewhat of an obsession and I just don't know if it's the best idea. It's good to know I might not be going crazy.

I weigh myself once, every morning when I wake up, and write it down in a calendar. I've been doing this for years and I notice the times where my weight really went up were the times when I wasn't weighing every day. It keeps you cognizant of gains a lot more quickly than if you only weigh every once in awhile.

I use to weigh myself every morning and it would always mess with my mind. Like one minute after a hard work out I would be down about 5 lbs. Then go home drink Water and go to sleep. Then in the morning weigh my self and have gained like 3 lbs back. It was a mind game even when I know it was probably water weight. So now I weigh in either once a week or every 2 weeks.

I weigh myself every morning when I wake up right before my shower. I did that even before my surgery.

Everyday. I keep track of my first morning weigh in but then jump on and off that thing all day long. It's an obsession....and not a healthy one.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
