How often should I weigh myself?

Once a week, unless…

You let the scale determine your mood and actions for the rest of the day or week.

For example:

If you exercised three days this week and your weight went up by 1 lb,
how will you react?

A: “Forget it! What’s the point of exercising…I knew I couldn’t lose weight.”

B: “Hmm…I wonder what caused my weight to go up? I’ll have to look back at what I did this past week and make adjustments for next week.”

If your reaction is similar to A, I recommend throwing away your scale. If your reaction is something like B, I recommend weighing yourself once a week.
How to weigh yourself

Success is so much more than a number on the scale; it’s about observing changes in the shape of your body, improving health conditions, feeling better, sleeping better, getting stronger, and enjoying a better quality of life.
