How does everyone determine their weight loss?

[biggy123]

Just interested in how everyone determines their total weight loss.

When you are working out what you have lost do you use:

1. From your heaviest pre-op weight?
2. From the start of your official liver-reducing pre-op weight?
3. From the date of your op weight?

Mine will be from what i weighed when i weighed in before i started the pre op diet.... However my provider goes from my weight when i started with them is wrong as i lost some weight before xmas last year....and they never bothered weighing me on the day of my op!!!!

Mine is from my heaviest which is also what I weighed on the day I started my pre-op!

Mine is from the day I was referred for WLS. I have been 10lbs heavier than that (so 18st 10lb) but that was about 9 months earlier than referral.

Mine is from my heaviest recorded weight. I think I was actually a stone heavier than that at one point but I record it as from the heaviest recorded weight.

Mines from the start of the New Year when I decided to make a change as I'd been diagnosed with diabetes, think I've been heavier than that.

 

[thinkbethin]

Mine is from my weight recorded when I asked for weight loss surgery with my gp xx

 

[Grace]

Mine is from the day I got my op date, about 4 weeks pre-op, before I began my pre-op diet. But I have been about 7 pounds or so heavier, at the beginning of last year.

Mine is from the start of the liver shrinking diet which was the 1st September. In January i was 3 stone heavier so my total weight loss this year is 7 stone, but i only count from September.

 

[slimmerkay]

Charmaine you should start it from January. You worked to get that 3 stone off so you should show it in your progress and be proud

 

[Zionaka]

Charmaine you should start it from January. You worked to get that 3 stone off so you should show it in your progress and be proud

Having been in denial for years and

 

[Nightwitch]

mine is from my pre-op appointment as that was my heaviest....then shortly after that i started the pre-op diet

I measure mine from what the hospital weighed me as on the day I was accepted for surgery - which is probably when I was at my heaviest. Given that I hadn't weighed myself for decades before that I have no earlier figure to go on anyway !
