Should I only weigh myself once a week?

Question

Since I usually make a New Years' Resolution to lose weight, I figured I'd start earlier, so I don't quit within the first two weeks of January like I always do. Anyway, I was wondering whether I should weigh every day, once a week, or once a month. Some people say that it's okay to be a total scale-whore and weigh yourself every day, but others say that you'll become addicted and that you can't expect to lose that much in one day, so there is no point in weighing everyday. So what should I do?

Answer 1

A recent medical study found that people who weigh themselves daily do better with their diet than those who weigh weekly.

Best wishes and good luck.

Answer 2

Are you weighing it on a similar time common? Do you ever weigh your self after a meal or ingesting lots of water. in case you want sturdy readings, weigh your self interior the morning on a similar time everytime.

Answer 3

If addiction serves your purpose, weight urself everyday once or twice the same hours. Good luck but dont overdo it... Merry Xmas!!!

Answer 4

You Should weigh your self at the beggining and end of every week so you know how much you've gained or lost!

Answer 5

once a week, because your weight fluctuates though out the day and week and if you see you have a weightloss you might give yourslef permission to eat more and that will surely hinder your weightloss effort

Answer 6

once a week .... weight fluctuates throughout the week (even throughout the day!) that any more than once a week will freak yourself out! :)

Answer 7

Once a week is great-then you can see progress and not be obsessed with it.

Answer 8

I think once a week is enough.
