Weighing Daily
Ever since I started to lose weight I have maintained that it has been paramount for me to weigh in daily. This is something I still stand by, in fact I will say times where I am successful are when I have been weighing daily and times when I am not are when I have been less successful. It is an unorthodox approach as all the advice has been to weigh no more than once per week, but it seems the tide is turning.
In a slimming tips article on Weightloss Resources, it says:
Weigh yourself daily: This might seem more time consuming not less, but according to the experts that compile the National Weight Registry (which looks at the habits successful slimmers use to keep the weight off) it helps you spot weight gain early so you’ll only have1-2lb to lose not half a stone. ‘Weight can fluctuate daily, but if you see a gain 3-4 days running, cut back on treats for a few weeks to rebalance things,’ says nutritionist Liz Tucker.

I think that weighing yourself daily can be a great tool as long as you don’t get obsessive about it and let it control your self esteem and self worth. I’ve just recently started weighing weekly again but only counting the monthly weight. I’m going to take it from there.

Yeah weighing daily is not for the OCD’s among us, that’s for sure. But if you can take the scales fairly lightly and use as a guide then I think weighing daily is a very positive thing to do. Good luck with your continued weightloss.
