Hi. I'm new to this site, but not new to weight loss. I came across an interesting article about how often you should weigh yourself, and I thought I would share it here.
I've always been prone to weighing myself daily. Most of the so-called experts have discouraged this practice, instead recommending that you only weigh yourself once a week. But, I find that I just feel better doing it each morning. I can't start my day without knowing how much I weigh. And, now, there are some so-called experts who agree with me!
"...a group of doctors who studied obese and overweight adults who were trying to lose weight as well as overweight adults who were trying to prevent weight gain found that those who weighed themselves more often lost more weight and prevented more weight gain over two years than those who weighed themselves less frequently. Contrary to the advice given in many popular weight loss regimens, this study suggests that at least some people can benefit from the accountability brought on by daily weigh-ins."
I was just wondering if anyone else here weighs themselves daily, or do you all stick to the once-a-week regime? Or, maybe you don't use a scale at all?
Here is the link to the full article quoted above.
