Smart Scales for Water Weight?

Thinking about getting a Hume or similar. Normal scale numbers are useful but can be misleading. Good scales are pricey though.

Lost 32 pounds so far with minimal side effects. Kept maintenance at every 10 days after hitting my goal.

Salty takeout and pre-period water weight both factor in.

the 2-3 liters daily is practical guidance and the one most people on GLP-1 fall short of without realizing it - the thirst signal gets disrupted on the medication and drinking to actual thirst keeps most people under target. setting a schedule or using marked bottles works better than relying on the thirst signal during the adjustment period

The creatine water retention point is worth knowing before starting it alongside GLP-1 - the 3-5 lb scale increase in the first weeks is real and not fat, it is intramuscular water storage from the osmotic effect of creatine in muscle tissue. Smart scales will often misread this as fat gain which adds confusion. Setting expectations before starting and tracking how clothes fit alongside the scale number prevents the kind of panic that causes people to stop creatine too soon

Given the daily weigh-ins already happening, ever thought about logging those numbers daily too? Really changes how the trend line reads and helps keep everything in perspective.
