Jazzy1125 1,010 Posted January 1, 2019 Stop stepping on the scale EVERYDAY! I weighed this morning and will weigh on the 9th for my over the phone consult with my doctor ( I am not driving 3 hours for a 15 min doctor visit LOL) and then i am going to try weighing on the first of each month ( that is the ultimate goal) going foward. I am going to try and start weekly i guess. I dont know LOL i just know i need to stop stepping on it every day. 4 ProudGrammy, Orchids&Dragons, Wanda247 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sideeye 1,440 Posted January 1, 2019 Sporadically using a wifi scale has done very good things for my sanity. Something about it being tracked in an app without any intervention from me makes it easier not to obsess over the numbers. Also the app puts it into a trend line, which is very grounding: I can see that I had an unusually sharp loss at the start of the month, so this "stall" is probably just catch-up. Or I can see that even though I feel like I'm not losing right now, the trend line is still steep. I get on the scale maybe three times a week. I'm vaguely interested in the number that shows but it doesn't stick in my brain, and I can just wait until I'm in a better/more motivated/interested headspace to actually open the app and check progress. 3 ProudGrammy, elcee and Wanda247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzy1125 1,010 Posted January 1, 2019 I dont focus on the numbers really, unless i am on a stall and want to see when it moves. But overall The numbers are just that. As long as i am doing what i am supposed to be doing i know it will change in the right direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shedo82773 1,236 Posted January 1, 2019 I HATE SCALES!!! All those years that I felt so humiliated getting on the darn things. Weight Watchers, TOPS NUTRSYSTEM more than 2 or more times. Dr. Appointments. I HATE scales did I say that before? LOL But after my RNY it was exciting to weigh 1 time a week. Always on Monday morning. I found out that I can refuse to weigh when I go to the DR, so guess what it has kept me off the scales for 9 months at least. Until the last appointment, she asked me to weigh!! NOPE I told her I would next appointment. I know I am still maintaining between 125 & 130. I JUST HAVE PANIC ATTACKS ABOUT THOSE DARN SCALES!! I'm sorry I got off the wall about them!! I would just say weigh 1 time a week and at ur DR's 1 1 Wanda247 and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rs 1,473 Posted January 1, 2019 Agree, every day is too often imo. I step on about once a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
