Body composition scales.. Reliably accurate or grain of salt accurate??

I (42F) have been on a weight loss journey for 75 days now and have lost 26 lbs down, from 338lbs to 312lbs, so I still have a lot to loose. I do low impact exercises (due to a torn meniscus issue) 45 minutes 4-5 times a week. I count calories and am usually eating in the 1200 to 1400 range, which is well below my TDEE.

I was recommended the RENPHO brand scale and have been using it daily to track my weight and body composition information. So here is my question: Is the composition information on these types of scales reliable and accurate or is it more of a rough calculation/guess? I have been trying to research and understand all the data my scale measures so I can learn and make lasting health changes. But am confused by some of the readings I am seeing.

Any advice on how to understand and follow my body composition information better and what parts are more reliable is greatly appreciated!

Sustaining weight loss and weightloss with unstable medication (not weightloss meds, but medication for other health issues)

I’ve been struggling with weight for a long long time, as a kid i was quite thinn, then i became quite big with beginning of puberty (normal for young girls, didn’t know that back then) lost a lot of weight very quickly and in unhealthy ways,

then started antipsychotics, gained a lot, like ALOT bmi of 37, lost weight healthy for 10kg, gave up, gained some, then began to loose weight, swayed a lot in weight very drastically, stopped the meds, quickly got down to bmi 20, with the mix of the stopping meds and unhealthy methods, but also worked a lot with my body, was finally happy in my weight, but at my lowest weight i was in the hospital with very severe dehydration and couldn’t eat for a week, had to start my meds again, went through a trial of many other antipsychotics and other medication associated with weight gain and a lot of hospital admission with little area to move, Gained weight, back to bmi 31, stopped my meds again, began my meds again, and a new adhd med associated with weight loss and now I’m bmi 28, and trying to loose weight down to

bmi 20-23, depending on how i will look at that weight, and Mabye higher bmi as I’m a person who gains muscle by just looking at weights, and also i work a lot with my body in farming and outdoors activity, and i rather not be too thinn as it dosent fit my lifestyle.

But does anyone have tips that with all these meds constantly being switched out and changed how I’m supposed to sustain weight and loose it healthy,
Any tips would mean the world to me

CONSISTENCY

I’ve realized by far my biggest problem is consistency.

I do not even care about weight loss anymore. I care about not being wildly inconsistent.

My daily calorie counts over the past week: 1876, 2922, 1457, 2613, 4315, 1865, 1241.

If that’s not the definition of inconsistent I don’t know what is.

I have a really hard time with making excuses for myself to not stay on track. “I need balance”, “if I go slightly over it’s fine”, “I need more energy to work out”.

My brain likes to act like it’s starving when I even eat at maintenance.

My goal is 2000 calories (maintenance) or less. That’s it.

I have 2 days of consistency so far. Based on my previous patterns that means I’m close to binging.

But I really want to stay consistent.

How do you guys do it and not talk yourself out of it?

Did your shoe size/composition change a lot with weight loss?

Of course everyone’s weight loss is different, just looking for perspectives.

I’ve lost about 30 pounds so far, at least another 50 to go (maybe more- for reference I’m a 5ft 5 woman, 210 pounds currently). I’m asking because I’ve gotten into ice skating, and I’m at a point where I’d like to get nicer ice skates (like get formally fitted for them), but I’d hate to do that just to have them no longer fit in a year when I’ve lost 50 pounds. My feet are pretty wide/broad, and “thick”- like I have to wear wide fit, pretty spacious shoes. I’ve always been very overweight so I have no idea if this is just how my feet are or if it’s because I’m fat. I’ve noticed as I lose weight my arches got higher (I used to have very flat feet too), so I’m wondering if other changes await me lol

Where do you buy bulk lean ground meat?

Hey all, I’m about 3 months into my weight loss journey and doing great. I mostly make pulled chicken bowls or ground turkey/beef bowls.

I personally hate fat and don’t notice too much of a difference when I go more lean. I’ve actually found a store here that has 99/1 ground turkey which is my favorite, but it’s roughly $13 a lb of it and I’m eating 1-2 lb a day which is simply too hard to justify. The best lean meat per value I can find is 93/7 turkey which I can get about 3 lb for the same price.

If I could get bulk 97/3 or 99/1 I’d be thrilled!

I live in a smaller mountain town so don’t have tons of store options but we have many farms and ranches. I was wondering if anyone has had experience finding bulk ground meat for a good price? Ty

Lost weight on the scales but not showing it physically.

I've lost 56lb in 9 months. I was 114.6kg and im now 89.2kg, 5ft 3in female 41 years. I was a size 22-24 and I have dropped dress sizes. But physically I just can't see any loss. My stomach is still massive, I just feel huge. My goal Is 10.5 stone which is my pre pregnancy weight from nearly 20 months ago.

​

It's getting me down, I feel the weight loss is slowing down which I understand Is normal. I just want to be back at a normal weight and feel like I have actually changed physically. Only changes I genuinely see or feel, is I fit in the bath without touching the sides. And I can jump and play and run better with my toddler.

​

I don't even know the point in this post. I just feel disheartened that I still look so big.
