Infrequent weigh-ins, rather than weekly?

I’m going on my dream holiday to Tokyo next month and one of the biggest reasons I’ve wanted to go my entire life is for the clothes shopping! I have a style that is hard to find clothes to suit in the U.K.

I’ve just started a small weight loss journey, however I am 2 weeks in and I’ve noticed my scales are pretty off. I can change the setting from stone & pounds, to just pounds or to kilograms. Yesterday, out of curiousity I weighed myself with all 3 and noticed that they all gave me different results (about 4lb difference between the 3 of them)! They also seem to have a problem coming up with the same result on the same setting. Say I weigh myself 3 times on the lb setting, once after another, it’ll give me a different result everytime still, with a 2lb-ish difference...

I am only looking to lose about 15lb total, so these differences are pretty big % wise to that!

I am moving in with my boyfriend soon, and I really don’t want to buy a new scale which I’m only going to be tossing out in a few weeks, but for a few days before Japan I’ll be staying with my mother. My boyfriend brought up the idea of only weighing myself when I get to hers in 3 weeks time, and just doing my best to stay on track intuitively until then.

Has anybody else had success on particularly infrequent weigh ins? I know accountability is the reason a lot of us weigh weekly, but I’m eating 1300kcal a day at the moment, and burning 2300kcal a day on average so that’s a lot of wiggle room for miscounting calories!
