u/SquatzOatz · 32 pointsr/keto

OK, your situation is perfect.

For starters, you want to do this right. There are 4 ways you should be monitering your progress.

Body Weight

For obvious reasons you'll want to measure and track your body weight. This scale is pretty much the gold standard for cost and precision, however if you already have a scale it's fine to stick with that. A problem many people have is weighing themselves compulsively, sometimes even 6 or 7 times per day. DON'T DO THIS, trust me. Weigh yourself...

  • Once a week

  • In the morning before consuming any drinks or food

  • After you've evacuated your bowels

    Measurments

    Many people on a diet will measure their progress solely based on their body weight. Often times however the scale will get stuck. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, often times your body will go through a re-composition (less fat/more muscle), which won't be reflected on the scale, however you'll notice your clothes will be more loose fitting as muscle is denser than fat, thus you'll be smaller. Buy some sort of measuring tape and take measurements...

  • once a week

  • in the morning, before eating/drinking, after evacuating bowels

  • Waist: Measure a half-inch above your belly button or at the smallest part of your waist

  • Hips: Place tape measure around the biggest part of your hips

  • Thighs: Measure around the biggest part of each thigh

    Pictures

    My biggest regret from my own weight loss journey is not taking pictures. Not only will it help motivate you, but posting your progress pics to r/keto will help inspire others as well. Take a picture once a week, and try to keep it as consistent as possible. Put the camera in the same place, stand in the same place, same lighting, only underwear etc.

    Bloodwork

    Go to your doctor for a blood test. INSIST on a VAP test for your cholesterol levels, not the standard (and innacurate given low trig levels) method. The frequency that you get your bloodwork rechecked is up to you, but 3 months into your keto diet seems like a good point to get it rechecked. Probably the most important marker of healthy cholesterol levels is your HDL:Triglyceride ratio (anything over 0.5 is great), and your total VLDL. Despite what you've heard, your total cholesterol level is not a useful indicator for heart health.

    Diet

    OK, now onto the good stuff, your diet. This is a great place to start. It's a sample one week meal plan made by one of r/keto's very own. Try to stay under 50g of net carbs per day (net carbs = total carbohydrate count minus fiber). For starters go through your entire pantry and refrigerator and get rid of anything you shouldn't be eating on the keto diet. Pasta, candy, chips, soda, bread etc etc. If you can, donate or give it away. If not, don't use that as a reason to keep it. Just throw it away. Trust me, you don't want temptation around, especially in the first few days.

    The general philosophy of r/keto (especially with overweight/obese individuals) is to eat when you're hungry, and stop when you're full. The majority of people find this is good enough, however if you find yourself not making any progress then by all means start counting calories.

    Now it's time to go shopping. Your diet is going to consist of meats, eggs, seafood, vegetables, low-carb dairy, nuts and seeds. Cooking oils to use are butter, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, or any animal fat (lard, beef tallow...).

    Meats

    Anything goes. If you're trying to save money go for the cheaper and fattier cuts of chicken (thighs, drumsticks and wings can often be had for <$1.00 per pound).

    Eggs

    Don't worry about what you've heard with regard to eggs = cholesterol = heart attack. It's untrue, eat as many as you want, yolk included.

    Vegetables

    Potatoes and corn are way too starchy to include in a ketogenic diet. Tomatoes and carrots are a bit high on the sugar side, but are fine in moderation. Always include vegetables in every meal. They're awesome, and awesome for you.

    Low-carb dairy

    Heavy cream and cheese are legit. Greek yogurt is a bit carby but fine in moderation.

    Nuts and seeds

    Almonds are many ketoers favorite snacks. If you're craving something sweet, Emerald dark chocolate or cinnamon almonds are pretty awesome, and relatively low carb.

    MUST DO's

    Watch Fat Head for free on Hulu. This movie has been a life changer for many people including myself, even though Tom Naughton is a huge fucking dildo in my opinion.

    Read Something Awful's Guide to Ketosis. Your single most valuable resource for information on a ketogenic diet (excluding r/keto of course :P).

    Read r/keto FAQ

    And of course, if you ever have questions, don't hesitate to consult r/keto, we're here to help. Good luck!
u/promechene · 15 pointsr/xxfitness

Funny, I've been annoyed lately because my scale does this so my weight readings for two weeks are exactly the same without minor fluctuations (I just like to track neat little trends). I bought the Eat Smart scale a while back. I'm not sure if it's advertised as doing this but it definitely does 100%.

u/Keroseneslickback · 10 pointsr/loseit

I've got this one and it's worked faithfully so far.

I'm getting downvoted for recommending a scale when they're asking for recommendations? Seriously people, why?

u/bob_mcbob · 9 pointsr/loseit

It's probably not worth spending that much on a scale unless you want special features like automatic wifi updates. There are some really solid choices even under $30.

http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Bathroom-Capacity-Technology/dp/B001KXZ808/

u/[deleted] · 8 pointsr/loseit

I just bought this one, and I highly recommend it. It works perfectly and is very accurate to those at the doctor's offices.

u/Sknie · 7 pointsr/proED

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00

I bought this one off Amazon a couple months ago because it's 4.5/5 stars with over 20,000 reviews, and it's under $30. I love it!

u/mcsneezy · 7 pointsr/xxketo

I got this Eat Smart scale and I love it!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It also came with a handy measuring tape tool, which is nice.

u/ophelia917 · 7 pointsr/loseit

I have had this one for a few years. It's always accurate. It's really cheap and free shipping with amazon prime.

u/junglerot · 5 pointsr/Fitness

Yep, I just got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808

Every time I've tried it back to back it gave me the same reading. It also came with a measuring tape, which is nice.

u/scribeofmedicine · 5 pointsr/loseit

wait wait wait THIS comes with both an accurate digital scale PLUS a very useful one person tape measure. I use these and they are fairly accurate. The most accurate I think you can get is with a balance scale like at a doctor's office, but they can be pricy.

u/WhoseHouseBiffsHouse · 5 pointsr/BuyItForLife

Eat Smart. It's digital. It's not smart. It's lasted over 4 years on the same battery. It's ~$30. It doesn't need to be tapped or "primed" before stepping on, it works like an analog scale.

u/alientic · 4 pointsr/loseit

My scale was doing the same thing, so I ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Haven't gotten it yet, so I'm not sure how well it works, but I did some research and a lot of people seemed happy with it.

u/fitthrowaway42 · 4 pointsr/fatlogic

This EatSmart Scale is great. I sometimes have to "clear out" the scale (step on with one foot, step off), but is pretty consistant.

u/bladedrummer · 4 pointsr/loseit

You can really google that information, or just look it up on amazon. I mean, there are scales with 25k reviews, over 4 stars and under $30. What can we possibly say that isn't covered by that amount of data?

One
Two

u/thatguy142 · 4 pointsr/loseit

This scale is amazing. You can step on it 4 or 5 times and it will give the same exact reading every time. I've even tested it out by stepping on it, drinking some water, and then stepping on again. Sure enough, it registered another 1/2 pound. Highly recommended!

u/born_mystery · 3 pointsr/loseit

I've had this one since 2012 and love it. It's simple, easy to read, and comes with a handy tape measure ;-)

u/tennisandaliens · 3 pointsr/bodyweightfitness

this EatSmart scale has been solid for me for over two years now.

no wifi/bluetooth or tech on it. but consistently accurate.

u/ayoooo · 3 pointsr/keto

I got a similar one off amazon, it's one of the top reviewed scales. Got it about a month and a half ago, no complaints! It has all the same features as the person mentioned above, and a few bucks less.

u/ThisIsMyKetoUsername · 3 pointsr/keto

I had to order one off of Amazon, because I didn't want to have to drive back and forth to the doctor's office! The one I got is pretty good, and it was cheap (plus came with a free self-measuring tape thingie)! I just found the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It doesn't do any of that body comp stuff which isn't really reliable anyway.

u/Ms_Andry · 3 pointsr/loseit

A few common scale issues:

  1. Not putting it on an even surface.
  2. Not putting it on a hard surface.
  3. Not stepping on and off to "zero" it out before getting a reading.
  4. Using old batteries.

    I'd only think about getting a new scale if you've rule all these issues out. If so, I use this one and it works pretty well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
u/MootchieFox · 3 pointsr/keto

This is the one I've had since 2013. Accurate, takes up little counter space, clear display in grams, ounces, kilograms, or pounds and I've only had to replace the battery once in the last 3 years. Eatsmart also makes this awesome bathroom scale, which I also have.

u/TheNamelessOnesWife · 3 pointsr/Team_Phoenix

I got an economy priced scale from a company called Eat Smart on Amazon. It is a floor scale. Up to 400 lbs. Uses AA batteries, I wanted to make sure no weird batteries were used.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a fancier scale that syncs to my phone. Not a practical purchase for me right now though. Going basic has been enough.

u/ParvaDilectus · 3 pointsr/keto

Everyone slows down, and everyone experiences weight loss in 'whooshes'. 32lbs in 45 days is FAST. You can't expect to keep up a 5lb/week loss - I aim for 2lb/week and I am happy with any loss. That said, if you wanted to see if a week without sweeteners or a week of lower calories makes a difference, there's no harm - just be prepared for your body to be inconsistent when it comes to weight loss - it's pretty much trolling you.

If you have about $30 to spare, this bathroom scale is the most accurate I've owned, and has almost 5 stars on Amazon across something like 9,000 reviews. I also bought a food scale from them, and it is also quite accurate.

u/guga31bb · 3 pointsr/Fitness

Just get a cheap caliper and measure yourself over time. Accuracy isn't very important -- what matters is the increase/decrease over time, which these do a fine job with.

This is the scale I use.

Toal for caliper, tape measure, scale: $35

u/AvesAvi · 3 pointsr/loseit

The Etekcity scale is the Amazon's Choice scale, but there's a worrying amount of reviews saying the scale randomly shattered without being touched.

The EatSmart scale has super good reviews praising its accuracy, and a lot less reports of the thing spontaneously shattering.

Anybody have some anecdotes with these?

u/caleeksu · 3 pointsr/wls

I bought this glass scale back in 2010 and it's still going strong! It's digital, goes up to 400 pounds and is pretty darn accurate. So glad Amazon remembers purchase history 😃

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apis_1500664871817

u/RedditDoombot · 3 pointsr/loseit

I have that one as well. It's VERY accurate. I get the same weight ever time I step on it within a short time period.

A reviewer at Amazon (and myself) wondered if it was just keeping the old weight in memory. I had someone else step on it and then I tried it again. Again, same weight.

The review at amazon had a similar result.

My old scale was a Taylor scale and it would jump 1 pound in either direction (sometimes two).

It's nice to have a scale that just works. Also you can just step on it without having to tap it before hand like with other scales. Not a big deal but it's nice.

Get it. =)

It's only $28.95 if you're a Yank.

EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale

Edit: I also got a tape measure with it. Not sure if that's good everywhere but I only got it about one month ago. I presume they are still including tape measures.

u/sugemchuge · 3 pointsr/4hourbodyslowcarb

This is the one i bought and I love it. It's fast, accurate and has an insanely high rating on amazon.

u/runsfromzombies · 3 pointsr/loseit

I've had the EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale for years now, and I love it. It takes regular old AAA batteries, it looks nice, it's only ~$20, and I haven't had any issues with it.

u/redherpbluederp · 3 pointsr/keto

This EatSmart one.

u/thekenzo · 2 pointsr/loseit

I just bought this one through Amazon. Awaiting it's arrival in the next couple days. I can give you a review once I've used it, if you'd like.

u/Tortitudes · 2 pointsr/loseit

If the battery change doesn't work, try a new scale.

I had one for about 7 years and changing batteries did the same thing. I just bought this scale off of Amazon and it's been great so far and fairly inexpensive:

I have this one. I bought it because it had the tape measure. We've had it since 2012! Its not very fancy and doesn't have wireless or the ability to sync, but its a sturdy little bugger

u/ILikeMeSomeAvocado · 2 pointsr/loseit

Very happy with this digital scale. It's on sale for $25 from amazon right now. There is no calibration delay. You just step on and it works.

u/kmc_v3 · 2 pointsr/loseit

I have the EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale. It's cheap and more than good enough.

While we're on the topic of scales, I also love my Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale.

Good luck!

u/losingme · 2 pointsr/loseit

It's a scale made by a company called EatSmart. They seem like a good company, have excellent reviews and I really like the scale so far. They even tossed in a clicking tape measure for body measurements. (Wasn't mentioned where I bought it so that was a nice bonus.)

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808

u/roromary · 2 pointsr/Fitness

This: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808

I LOVE EatSmart products not only because they actually work really well, but because their customer service is awesome! I have their food scale too and both scales are the best digital scales I've owned. Not sure what else to say about it except that I recommend it whenever I get the chance.

u/thevulturesbecame · 2 pointsr/loseit

I feel you on the scale thing, my old one did the same thing lol. Wildly different! I ordered this one on Amazon which is cheap and I haven't had that problem with it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001KXZ808/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1473172890&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=scale&dpPl=1&dpID=41pqd-hroEL&ref=plSrch

It doesn't do anything fancy like bf% or heart rate, so maybe you wanna splurge more than I did.

As for loose skin, don't fear it. It's the lesser of two evils. It also probably won't be as bad as you think. Lose steadily, moisturize your skin, stay hydrated, and gain muscle tone. If you're too upset by your loose skin, I think lace one-pieces are super sexy too!: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=49914043 (random one from Google)

u/Wavern · 2 pointsr/loseit

There are two scales I can recomend:

[EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and "Step-On" Technology]
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808/ref=wms_ohs_product)

Detecto 437 Balance Beam Doctor/Physician Scale, 400 lbs, Made in the USA

The first is a typical bathroom scale It is quite accurate and measure lb higher than my mechanical scale day in and day out. The only iffy part is, it will remember you last weight and if you aren't more than 1lb heavier/lighter, it'll read the same. You can trick it by only putting one food on to start, let it finish, then stand on it fully to get a newly accurate reading.

The second scale is.. awesome. I was at 400+ lbs when I got that. I wanted the most accurate and solid scale I could get.

u/Javabeach · 2 pointsr/loseit

I got this EatSmart scale and love it. Maybe at some point I'll wish I had the body fat measurements, but right now this is perfect (and under $25) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It weighs consistently and is also consistent with scales at the doctors' offices.

u/ChotatoPip · 2 pointsr/loseit

Along line with what ff said, the Eatsmart Precision Digital Scale is also a good buy if you just want a basic and accurate scale minus the bells and whistles for $30. Ozeri has a nearly identical scale for the same price, and their food scales are top notch as well.

u/Sunstar4 · 2 pointsr/loseit

As another poster said, check the back of the scale for a kg/lb button. For what it's worth, I have this which has kg/lb/stone:

highest rated and most popular scale on Amazon. I have it and its deadly accurate with 0.2lb increments. the company is really good with customer support, too.

u/alcoholfreepencap · 2 pointsr/keto

Same scale (this one), which is fairly new. And yes, I always weigh in at the bathroom, without clothes, several times. I weigh myself with clothes on afterwards to make sure I see that slight increase from clothing weight.


I do feel like my calves are slightly slimmer with less fat fold when I squat down, but to be honest I can't tell if it's because of some change or because I'm getting used to this weight.

I've searched throughout the thread and there seem to be a general agreement that a caloric deficit is needed to lose weight? I don't know how I will achieve this by adding fat onto my meals, since fat has quite amount of calories. I guess I could decrease my portions and increase the amount of fat instead but I'm having trouble feeling satisfied as is.


And someone else mentioned the water part too. I'll drink more water!

u/gungadin · 2 pointsr/loseit

I was using this one for a while and was happy with it. I've since upgraded to a withings, which I'm also happy with but clearly costs more money :)

u/loupgarou21 · 2 pointsr/loseit

There are a few things that could be going on.

The first is that a lot of cheaper digital scales will only use two of the feet to calculate your weight instead of all four feet. What this means is that it will read your weight differently depending on how you're standing on the scale and how flat the scale is on the floor. One way you can test this is to lean significantly forward while weighing yourself, then weigh yourself by leaning significantly backward. Don't lean so far that you need to use something for support, but if it shows your weight as being significantly different depending on whether you're leaning forward or backward, it's likely the scale is only using two feet for determining your weight. If so, think about getting a scale that uses all four feet. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Digital-Bathroom-Lighted/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=sr_1_11_s_it

It could be that the your floor is really uneven or soft, if so, try using a flat, hard floor under the scale

It could be water weight, 2-ish lbs isn't a lot at your weight, although you're showing a 3-lb difference which is on the higher side for water weight at your current weight, but not impossible, in which case, just keep tracking and don't worry about the water weight.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you're weighing yourself daily, you'll see fluctuation up and down, it's normal, just watch your long-term trends and don't worry about the day-to-day differences.

u/Stormrider001 · 2 pointsr/keto

I use the EatSmart Precision scale and love it as it is consistent in the its measurements and minimizes variation between multiple samples so you feel confident its ability to give an accurate measurement the first time.

u/Its_Kakes · 2 pointsr/bjj

i wouldn't worry about it now. i cut weight once, and i wouldn't do it again. you're already small, so cutting even a couple pounds will suck, and you don't your first weight cut to be for a tournament (see: my performance when i cut weight as a white belt at world's, haha). i drastically underestimated the physical toll it took on me.

just go compete at a weight you know 100% sure you can make. focus on training and working on your weak spots, instead of stressing about carbs and calories and sodium. see how you do.

(also, every league/federation makes up their own weight classes, some let you weigh in the day before, some let you weigh in without the gi - no need to base your life around IBJJF classes)

if you think you want to drop a few pounds, go get a lightweight gi. you've just lost two pounds. buy an accurate scale (the ones at my gym fluctuate +/- 3 lbs, even if try within 30 seconds of last time). i own this one which is pretty cheap, and i took it with me to worlds so i could test how accurate it was to their scales. it was real close.

u/LemonSqueeeezy · 2 pointsr/loseit

I have this EatSmart scale. I love it, and I've had it for 4 years with no problems whatsoever. Bonus: If you happen to come across any issues, EatSmart's customer service is stellar. I dealt with them regarding my kitchen scale and they were incredibly helpful.

u/todays_throwaday · 2 pointsr/RedPillWomen

I'm not sure if this is quite the right place to put this, but as someone who is very into fitness, health, etc, I want to put good information out there for people to see. Your statement about not losing weight possibly due to muscle gain reminded me of a pretty important idea:

Worry less about the scale and more about the mirror and your waist/hip measurements. The scale numbers matter, but not as much as you might think.

Here is an article on the average ideal waist:hip, waist:chest, and BMI for both men and women:
Ideal to real: What the perfect body really looks like


For the BMI, I'd recommend using this calculator, which BMI with an exponent of 2.5 instead of 2.0, making it better for people of significantly above or below average height:

New BMI Calculator

Here were the ideal numbers for women designed by men:

  • BMI of 18.8

  • Waist-to-hip ratio ratio of .73

  • Waist-to-chest ratio of .69

    Obviously, you have less control over bust size than you might like, but handling your waist:hip ratio and trying to eat towards the ideal BMI is going to massively increase your sex appeal, mating options, and body satisfaction. The good news is, these are averages, and as long as you are reasonably close, you are going to be somebody's ideal.

    EDIT: Just to give a concrete example of this, I like narrower/flatter hips, a smaller chest, and a bit more muscle than most men. This will lead to a small overall size and low curves, but a somewhat higher BMI due to the higher muscle density. However, most women would be very well served by tailoring their fitness regimen to approach the above numbers over time.


    You can track both your weight and your measurements pretty cheaply. Here are a couple of products on Amazon that make it very easy:

    Body measurement tape, $5

    Digital scale, $23

    I own both of these products and I am very satisfied with them. I'd say measure yourself in the morning after relieving yourself for the most accurate & consistent results.

    Fitness and health are both easier and harder than people make them out to be. Often we pursue ideals that are a bit wrongheaded, and it is difficult to form good habits. However, once you pick the right goals, and you establish the good habits, it gets fairly easy and very rewarding. Happy self-improvement, folks!

I had a Weight Watchers scale I bought from Target (~$20) and realized it was way too variable. I bought this EatSmart scale due to its good reviews on Amazon and its quality customer service. It's not perfect, but given that I didn't want to spend $100+ on a fancy shmancy scale, I'm quite happy with it.

u/laridaes · 2 pointsr/xxketo

I think you deserve a good scale first of all - I bought this one from amazon and it has been consistent AND is the same one my doc's office uses! http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Bathroom-Capacity-Technology/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397011234&sr=8-1&keywords=scales

Take it to your doctor's office and compare (I did this and they were spot-on the same) and go from there. My weight fluctuates crazily, always has and I hate it - I would like to weigh just once a week but I have not that willpower. :)

u/Midgetforsale · 1 pointr/keto

I think I got mine at target? It's Taylor brand. I think most digital scales go up to 400. Wirecutter ranked their top 5 and mine was on the list as reviewed well by consumer reports, but many on amazon had a problem with consistency. Looks like this one would be a pretty good bet.

u/Ohthere530 · 1 pointr/keto

I like this one, the EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale.

No fancy features, but it's got a simple design, easy to read, and it seems to give the same number when I step on it twice.

I chose it because wirecutter.com gave it the best review. They seem to review all sorts of things, and they've done well by me.

u/LevitatingTurtles · 1 pointr/loseit

I got this scale a month or two ago... it works great and it was a great price.

u/NotSoHungry · 1 pointr/keto

I use this scale . I've had it for a while and it still works perfectly.

u/radiocricket · 1 pointr/loseit

This might sound obvious, but make sure you're using a reliable scale. The scale that I used for many, many years had a good +/- 3 lbs buffer from your actual weight, depending on how you're standing, how many times you got on and off, etc... Once I got serious about my weight loss, I got [this scale] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KXZ808/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) off Amazon that takes consistent measurements, no amount of leaning or getting on and off a dozen times changes the measurement it gives you (believe me, I've tried!).

u/ManletPrideParade · 1 pointr/powerlifting

I have this. It's nothing fancy, but it seems about as good as you'd expect from the price range. To get much more accurate you'll probably need like a doctors scale or something.

u/Pt-Platinum · 1 pointr/CFBOffTopic

I got a nice one at Amazon for pretty cheap.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001KXZ808/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I weigh myself every morning with it. Feels pretty accurate.

u/soulsizzle · 1 pointr/gainit

I bought this scale about a year and a half ago. It seems to be holding up well. It is at least consistent with a bike scale I have.

When it comes to buying a scale, accuracy isn't super important. What is important is that it is consistent. If you weigh yourself on the same scale every time, you have a consistent frame of reference.

u/GettingFreki · 1 pointr/loseit

My day 1 was last week. Sunday, I received my new digital scale, and that night I went out to play ice hockey like I normally do. I come home and right before bed, I weigh in at 235.8. I have a big cup of water next to my bed for when I wake up thirsty in the night and when I get up in the morning, so I probably drank about 16oz of water between going to bed and my morning weigh in. I urinated once in the middle of the night and once after waking up before my morning weigh in. My morning weigh in reads 230.8.


I've heard that you can lose a couple pounds in water weight overnight through sweating and exhalation, but 5lbs seems excessive. Is this just a case of my water weight being extra high from the exercise and drinking a lot of water before/during/after my hockey game that I sweat/breathed/peed out?

u/haagar · 1 pointr/keto

I have this and find it very consistent. Doesn't have body fat%, but those things almost never work for me (along with heart rate monitors).

I got delayed in leaving. Here you go. Amazon Link

u/stevie_weebee · 1 pointr/fatpeoplehate

Dunno what you guys got for scales but I ended up with a really nice one off Amazon for pretty cheap. It's accurate and it adds some much needed class to the shitroom.

u/AllOfTimeAndSpace · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This slowcooker (from my kitchen wishlist) would change mine and my husbands life the most. Right now we're both in school pretty much all day (8:30am until 6pm in Sept-April) and then he works a lot of evenings. He is able to work from home a lot of the time though. Our dinners mostly consist of take-out, or cereal, or a random piece of fruit right now. We're both trying to lose weight and that's really not the way to do it. The slow cooker would allow me to actually make meals and have them ready for when we were home for dinner (my roommate is home during the day so the house wouldn't like burn down or anything) and actually let us eat real food and not Fruit Loops lol. But, it's like really expensive. This scale (from my misc. wishlist) is considerably cheaper and would still change our lives in that we would be better able to moniter our progress.

u/ChefPD · 1 pointr/Ebay

I have this one It's very good quality and it was recommended to me by a lot of people before I purchased. Having used it myself, I vouch for it completely. Nice bright display with big numbers and seems very accurate. Also whether this is for weightloss or not, /r/loseit knows ALOT about scales.

EDIT: Nevermind.

u/akbeedy · 1 pointr/TeamConstellation

I had a fancy scale ($70) and towards the end of its life it started doing similar things. It would usually weigh me 5 lbs different but we finally threw it out after it weighed my husband 18 lbs different. We bought this one. We love it! It is always within .2 lbs.

u/ClaytonRayG · 1 pointr/fatlogic

Here's the one I use. Would recommend 10/10 with rice.

u/king_gambrinus · 1 pointr/Fitness

This is the scale my wife and I use and we love it!

u/tepidviolet · 1 pointr/loseit

Rapid weight loss can be normal in the beginning, especially if a lot of that is water weight.

If you're wondering about tips for consistent weighing from there, it's not too complicated.

A nice scale is a good start. It doesn't need to be expensive to be good. In fact, some of the more expensive features are considered to have highly questionable accuracy (body fat measurements by the impedance method).

Eatsmart scales are known for being both cheap, accurate, and precise. A zillion people use this one. If you want a slightly more expensive upgrade, this is nice. It's more accurate and precise (I think). And you can input your gender, height, age, and approximate activity level, and it will throw your TDEE back at you when it weighs you, which is nice.

If you really want something fancy, something like the Fitbit Aria will automatically sync your weight with your phone, but it's far more expensive. There are other nice scales which upload your data automatically. I don't consider it worth it, personally.

From there, just use a consistent routine. As in, try to keep as many variables as close to constant as possible, when you're weighing. A lot of people weigh themselves naked as soon as they get up, before they eat/drink anything, just to get the most consistent measurement.

u/shinyrox · 1 pointr/keto

I got this one in December. Sorry for ugly link, i have no idea what im doing. I was looking for one that was step on activated with an easy to read display, that was pretty accurate. This one fits the bill. I like it alot.

EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale with Extra Large Lighted Display https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_zy3FzbKS905BA

u/gemthing · 1 pointr/xxketo

I've had this EatSmart Precision Scale for a few years now, and have been very happy with it. It's very accurate and reliable. My routine is to step on and get a reading, then step off and get a weight with just one leg resting on the scale, then step back on and get another full weight reading. That way I feel confident it's not just giving me the same number over and over without really checking, if that makes sense.

u/angeluscado · 1 pointr/loseit

I have this one. It's decently accurate for what I want. No bells or whistles (no Bluetooth upload to my phone, no BF%, no separate profiles). I've had it for a few years and paid a bit more than the listing there (it's an older model now and there have been upgrades), but it's a good little scale and I'm happy with it.

u/wordfountain · 1 pointr/loseit

Scales show trends, not weights. Only a doctor's balance beam scale can be really trusted to be accurate. Even so, if your digital scale shows a trend of losing 3lbs, and a doctor's scale shows 0 change...that is a truly shitty scale. If that is really what happened, buy https://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Digital-Bathroom-Lighted/dp/B001KXZ808 <--that, I own one and while it may not be accurate (the doctor's scale and it may show different numbers) it is precise. Meaning if it shows you as having lost 1lb, the doctor's scale will too. I've tested that scale with calibrated weights. I know it's precise, if not accurate. When it comes to home scales, precision is more valuable than accuracy.

Part of keeping a healthy weight is having a healthy mindset about food and nutrition. Don't be scared of food. Just accept that you need to find a balance of these two things:

  1. Foods you want to eat, scheduled and portioned such that you can eat them, in quantities that are under your TDEE.
  2. Patience to stay in the state of 1 until you reach your goal weight.

    That balance isn't easy to find, but if you find it, then you'll lose and keep the weight off forever.

    edit: Note, /u/olligale, 3lbs of weight loss can be entirely due to water. I can go from 169 to 171 in a single day if I eat enough salty foods (which cause water retention in me). So...don't ever worry about the results of a single day, worry about the trend of a week or more.
u/corpus_callosum · 1 pointr/AskReddit

I recommend this one.

u/SirNuke · 1 pointr/loseit

I have this EatSmart scale. It's well priced, looks purdy, quite accurate, reasonably priced, and most importantly for me, has no extra features. A big, well backlit display that displays the weight, and doesn't do anything else.

u/AmericanPaleAle · 1 pointr/keto

This one is mine. I love it, it is precise enough that if I urinate I can track the difference before and after. Awesome reviews on amazon.

The other food scale was also that EatSmart brand, only reason I felt comfortable about buying no name is because of the reviews about the company replacing the device no questions asked. Below was that food scale.

MapMyRun (just began this week, so not sure if I will stick with it)

[EatSmart scale] (http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Bathroom-Capacity-Technology/dp/B001KXZ808) I've had it for 4 years and it's been great! It's not connected to MFP though.

I have seen people on MFP rave about their Arias and Withings, but I haven't had a need to buy a new scale so haven't tried them.

u/Campaignfinance · 1 pointr/loseit

I bought this one a few weeks ago and I really like it. I actually traded my expensive Fitbit one for this one. I really like it so far. Easy to read and simple. The Fitbit one got so frustrating to try to make weigh correctly that I gave up on it.

u/mcfreakinloseit · 1 pointr/loseit

There are but you'll likely have to order online. Years ago when I started I was just a bit over 350 and my scale only goes to 345, it was a great day when I saw a weight on my scale instead of an E. If you've been at it for a month since you last weighed in you'll probably be right close to dropping below 350.

u/fatguysalt · 1 pointr/keto

Maybe get a new scale. I swear the one I have has something in it that remembers your weight and will only show that weight for a certain period of time. With other scales, I had been able to change my weight reading by shifting my weight, leaving part of my foot off the scale, going to the bathroom....etc. With the one I have now, none of that changes my weight.

It also came with a body fat measuring tape, which is super useful.

u/fools_errands · 1 pointr/loseit

I use this scale from Amazon and it hasn't failed me yet. I have a feeling that your variances are happening due to the floor, but I'd say if you're unsure, you could take something with a defined weight and weigh it the same way you weight yourself.

The 4lbs in 6 days is what we call a whoosh, and is very likely your fat loss catching up to water loss. It doesn't necessarily have to be supported by your previous week's calorie deficit as the water weight could have been masking the fat loss the whole time. It could also be muscle mass loss, but the point is that it's not unheard of to have that big of a loss over that time. My whooshes used to range from 1 lb over a night all the way to a 5lb whoosh over three nights.

Daily weighing is not for the faint of heart. The fluctuations due to water weight, waste, and so many other things will cause you to go nuts if you have an obsessive personality. I started using the Happy Scale app a few months into my journey because I'm very data oriented and realized quickly that I don't really care about the number, but rather the trends. It helped me to visualize the plateaus and adjust my strategy accordingly, but it is critical to realize that if you stick to your plan, the number on the scale is simply a number. In fact, I have always had a goal weight "range" of 5-8 lbs that I plan to stick to instead of a goal weight.
