Question of the week: As a maintainer, how often do you weigh yourself?
According to
The National Weight Control Registry
, 75% of successful maintainers weigh themselves at least once a week, 44% weigh daily. Also, in the 1999 study
Behavioral strategies of individuals who have maintained long-term weight losses
, researchers found that weight-loss maintainers who had
lost an average of 37 pounds and maintained it for over 7 years
used the behavioral strategy of
greater frequency of self-weighing
than either of the controls. Another study from 2001,
Successful weight loss maintenance
found that
successful long-term weight loss maintainers
again share common behavioral strategies, including
frequent self-monitoring of body weight
.
So, as a maintainer, how often do you weigh yourself?
