Re: Plateau After 1 Month? Gobo

[Guest guest]

Gobo,

I mean this sincerely... get OFF the scale! Weigh monthly! There are

a lot of changes in fluid balance early on and weight can fluctuate

greatly. So weigh on the day of the month you had surgery. Not

before nor after.

If you have lost nothing in a month, then it may be time to wonder

why.

I weigh every two weeks...I have to go to our local hospital where they have

a scale that goes to 500 since I'm over my own 350 scale....but not for much

longer. I do think weighing yourself everyday will drive you nutty. Its not

normal to never go up and down...that is what our body does. It has all

sorts of things that make a difference when weighing. I think you should

limit it to once a week, twice a month or montly...you'll get much better

results that way.
