Is weighing yourself that important?

swells27

I've always been one of those ppl that hates weighing in every week due to never being satisfied with what the scale says! :frown: So my question... is it possible to follow this program without weighing in every week and just going off measurements?

Yes!!! It helps keep you on track! I think it helps well atleast when your weights going down!

In my opinion, measurements are a much more accurate indicator of your progress. Fat is less dense than muscle and takes up more space- therefore if you're getting healthier, the muscle starts to replace the fat. weight doesn't indicate progress, but if you're losing inches, you know you're doing something right!

I prefer measuring over weighing. I have lost 10 lbs a month using this site, and I know that because of the scale, but I am more proud of the 11 inches of my waist, etc. There are weeks where the scale stands still and will play mind games with you - it is not worth it to me. I prefer to measure. Good Luck!:flowerforyou:

so how often do you measure? I currently measure once a month. but am wondering if I should perhaps do it more frequently - though want to avoid the "not enough progress" gloom...

I measure every 2 weeks.

Do whatever works for you. There are no hard fast rules here. I used to weight myself very frequently but it was making me crazy. I do it now once a month and I don't always worry about that. The tape measurer and how your clothes fit is a better indicator of weight loss anyway.

Well perhaps every once and I while I can weigh in, but I'm going to continue using a measuring tape and how my close fit for my weight loss! :happy:

I figure once a month should be sufficiant!!

Good luck to all, and looking forward to hearing about your success!
