leag78 469 Posted June 20, 2015 I just feel that weighing myself everyday does more harm then good. I definitely agree with everyone here on why you should weigh yourself daily, but I find that I'm obsessing to much on the number, and want to throw my scale out the window...lol...so to prevent doing that I just need a break from weighing myself. Still gonna stay on track but just not going to weigh myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wascott 395 Posted June 20, 2015 I weigh myself every morning and log the data into a spreadsheet so I can plot the data in a graph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that's good for you, and you know what's best for you I didn't mean to imply that you should figure out how to weigh yourself daily. I meant to back up your statements, because I agree, it can do more harm than good if you can't get past the daily number. If it upset me every time I got on the scale and was unhappy with the number, I wouldn't do it either. There is no one right way to get the job done, for sure!

kmvalade 11 Posted June 25, 2015 Wow. I am amazed at the discipline of weighing and graphing. Kudos to you. I only weigh myself at my surgeon's office because I want to use the same scale. It's not important enough for me to buy a scale and sync with that. I go mostly by how my clothes fit. The important part for me is my health issues improving. I've improved in so many areas (HBP- down to 1 pill vs 4, sleep apnea - gone, Diabetes - off insulin shots and down to 1 pill a day, cholesterol down) that's what excites me. I'm 9 weeks out and saw my surgeon yesterday and was surprised I had lost 42 lbs. It felt kind of like being pregnant for 9 months and waiting until the birth to see if it's a boy or girl. It felt great! My hopes to all of you that your journey be joyfilled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
