How often do you weight???

Well here we are Dec WLS patients!! We have made it to the losing side!! I was told by the Dr not to weigh except for at his office. Like I can do that one! I have decided to only weigh-in one a week. My home scales are very cheap and undependable. One of the schools I work with as an electronic scale I can go weigh on. What are doing, how often are you weighing?? Are you sleeping well?? Have you starting exercising other than walking?? Thanks & Blessings Tonya

Tonya, I weigh every morning after I go potty of course. There's no way I can wait for a whole week. My hubby said I should only weigh at the Dr's ofc. and be surprised. I am not strong enough!!! I started walking on the treadmill yesterday (1 mile). The darn thing stopped. I guess it isn't use to being used. Oh well...buying a new one in the next few days. Have a Great Evening! Angy

Hi Tonya; We have started a Sunday weigh-in but I am probably like most everyone I am addicted to weighing every day. Anyway you are welcome to weighin with us on Sunday and welcome to the board. James

Hey gang I only weigh at my Dr's office for consistency and my own sanity! I refuse to buy a scale for my house! Since my Dr. appointments are like every 6 weeks, I made a special trip to his office on my 2 month anniversary just to use the scale. I personally think weighing every day is torture - but to each his/her own! I am sleeping just fine. I can almost sleep back on my stomach, but only for very short spurts of time. I just started doing Winsor Pilates, and will start using the elliptical machine once I pay my gym bill.

I weight everyday... like ten times... I'm addicted.

WOW I'm surprised how many people weigh everyday!! I guess we all have to do what works for us. Thanks for the reply's! Now go have a great day and try to get all your protein in!! Blessings Tonya

I weigh in every week or 2. I was weighing every day but I got crazy after I hit a plateau. If I weigh myself once ever 2 weeks.... the weight loss is greater and you feel more of an accomplishment. Beckie

What have all of you lost since December. I weigh twice a week. My surgery was 12/7/04 and I have lost 37 lbs. I only seem to lose weight once a week and so I get agravated when I do not lose. Anyone else out there seeing the same thing. I think I should be at 40 lbs but I think I have reached a stopping point. I also wonder if I eat to much. Sometimes I can eat more than other times. Yesterday I had a half of an English muffin with 2 tblsps. of Peanut Butter, 3/4 cup Tuna Salad with 3 of the crakers I bought from this site, 1 protien bar and 1 stick of string cheese and 4 sliced of shaved ham. Of course I had 64 oz. of water and walked 3 miles. What do you think, is that to much. Thanks

Doesn't look like enough to me. I found I wasn't getting in enough calories and my body thought I was starving it so it would not let go of any weight. I increased water, protein, and calories up to 900 and started to lose again. I would however drop the english muffin. That is just empty carbs and has no nutritional value for us. It also swells in our pouch and causes hunger. Hang in there. Candy 266/222/130
