When using the scale as your directional indicator remember these 3 important tips so you are certain you‘re getting an accurate reading.
1. Weigh yourself only one time per week.
2. Weigh yourself on the same day every week.
3. Weigh yourself first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Remember weight loss comes in unpredictable spurts so don’t get frustrated if you have a week or two with no weight loss, it’s just your body making normal re-adjustments that are necessary in order for progress to continue.
A person’s weight can fluctuate 5 or more pounds throughout the day so by following these 3 very simple but important rules you will not only keep yourself from becoming frustrated by daily fluctuations but also get an accurate read on how your true weight loss is going.
