Many weight loss programs stress the importance of self
weekly weigh-ins or joining a group that meets once a week for information,
sharing and getting weighed. Meeting weekly weight goals is one way to stay on
track when it seems like reaching the end is far off. Forbes Living TV explains
why.
It may seem contradictory, but even a small weight gain one
week, helps someone trying to lose weight and regain good health. It reminds
the person that bodies are made of water and other matter, that a cheeseburger on
Friday and can effect weight on Saturday and that it’s okay to have a small ice
cream one every once in a while.
There are some doctors that do not believe weighing in
weekly is helpful. The highly respected medical journal PLOS ONE found that people
who did a regular self weigh-in weekly ere more likely to reach a weight goal
than those who stepped on the scale less often. Forbes Living TV also relays that when
people are self-monitoring their weight, they are more aware of what they eat
and tend to take it easy was during festive times like the holidays. After all,
one does not eat a plate full of holidays sweets and step on the scale the next
day hoping the number goes down. Take it easy over the next two weeks and step
on a the nearest scale before Sunday morning, when weight tends to be higher.
