    I used to do diets where I had to fast, never worked for me. I have been logging continually now since August, without any type of a "diet" or fasting and weighing myself once a week. This has worked for me, so I don't think you can go by what other people do, but what feels right for you and what it will take to keep you on track.
    Good luck!

    Fasting in itself isn't a big deal as long as it isn't sustained too long. The issue with fasting, however, you are so hungry when you do eat it is hard to control. Well … I guess I should say it is for me. I'm doing great with mostly doing the same thing everyday. I have friends who do the fasting and they have had differing results. The really big common denominator is … they have trouble sticking to it.

    I weigh once a week. I have friends that weigh everyday. I even have one who weighs 3 times a day. Most of those who weigh often track it in a spreadsheet and consider the average of the week their weight. I can't face the scale that many times and that is why I do once a week.
