How Often Should You Weigh?

Experts advise weighing once per week while many so-called weight loss gurus say less is more. We say - hop on the scales and weigh any darn time that pleases you - no matter if you weigh yourself 10 times per day.

In fact, knowing the varying levels of your weight can help tremendously with your Weight Loss Maintenance Phase - that 'eternal phase' of dieting.

While I can't tell you how your scales will vary - I can give you an idea of how mine typically do:

- Weight is lowest in morning upon arising.

- Weight may go up 2-3 pounds during the day as food & liquids are consumed.

- Weight may go up to 4 pounds more when a lot of fluids OR sodium is consumed. If pounds are related to sodium, it may take a couple of days for the weight scales to stabilize as pent-up water is naturally flushed out.
