Weighing in weekly is an important key to keep progressing.
But having the right scale is important. Trust me when I say I've tried plenty of scales. Has anyone else jumped on a scale to have it say what you want?
I have...ahh the infamous dial scale, you know the one you can lean backwards and forwards on to change the number. Better yet, my stomach is so big I can't see the scale. Ugh oh my... talk about frustration. Wii fit scale is just as bad as a dial scale, unbelievably frustating.
All Digital scales aren't created equally either. Even though they are more accurate than dial, they can act like dial scales.
Here are my tips on finding a good scale:
1. Digital
2. The number on scale has to be exactly the same everytime you weigh yourself in 15minutes. This keeps me sane personally.
3. Doesn't even have to cost more than 40$, not a joke.
Con-air weight watchers approved Digital weight scale. I love it! I have been using it for the past 10months. There are 2 other weight scales in the house, and number changes on them a lot in 15minutes. Evil, I like accuracy, it keeps me sane.
Rules of proper weigh-in:
1. Never take a doctor's weight scale weigh-in to heart they are very accurate, plus by the time you see them your weight has fluctuated at least 3-5lbs already.
2. Only trust the scale you weigh yourself on regularly.
3. Weigh yourself in the morning 15-30minutes after you have woken up, use the restroom, and don't drink or eat anything. This makes a huge difference.
4. Weigh yourself once a week, the same day each week. (Me, I weigh myself the day after I hike).
5. Use the weight scale on a leveled hard surface. If the weight scale is on carpet, it will be inaccurate, and you don't want to be sad.
I've been doing this a longtime, and this advice comes from the heart.
Happy weighing!
