Regular weigh-ins are linked to a better chance of achieving weight management goals. Weighing yourself regularly can be motivating and promote awareness.
Some people select one or two days a week as their weigh-in days to use as their “official” current weight. It’s best to choose the same day or days each week, and to weigh in at the same time right after waking up and using the restroom. Remember to wear only light clothes and no shoes when weighing in.
Research suggests that it can be helpful to weigh in even more often, such as daily. This can keep you motivated each day to make smart choices for your health and weight. It’s okay not to weigh daily if it triggers an emotional response.
