Some people don't like stepping on the scale, so even when they begin a new diet they are tempted to just weigh in weekly. It has been said that once a week weigh-ins are not as effective as daily weigh-ins.
Through this past year, I have weighed myself every day. Daily weigh-ins help you stay on track from day to day. It also tends to help as another "accountability" factor, knowing that you'll be weighing yourself again tomorrow morning does help you refrain from that brownie that's staring you in the face tonight.
So, I highly advocate a daily weigh-in rather than weekly. But, when should you weigh yourself? Everything I've read shows that stepping on the scales first thing in the morning is the best time for weighing in. You should get out of bed, go to the bathroom and step on the scales. Do NOT drink a cup of coffee first, do NOT go get the newspaper and read it, do NOT eat breakfast. Weigh yourself FIRST! Then, go do whatever else it is you do in the mornings.
Every morning should be the same routine - get up, go to the bathroom, step on the scales. It's even more accurate if you do this at about the same time of day (6:00 am) each morning, but that's not always possible.
So, start following a simple morning pattern and get weighing in!
Until next time...
