Like many on this subreddit, this wasn't my first attempt at weight loss. My previous go through, I would weigh in every morning. This time, however, I decided to weigh myself once every two weeks and here is the result: https://i.imgur.com/zj9AI3T.png. Now that's a sexy staircase!
Spacing out the weigh-ins had some added benefits: It was a helpful reminder that the process is looong. It made inevitable slip-ups and binges less stressful. The scale number always went down!
Some weigh ins the loss felt negligible (0.4 lbs in 2 weeks!), but I knew that meant I was in for a bigger jump the next weigh in. Honestly, I wasn't being very disciplined about my consumption/tracking when the losses were small, so I was never too surprised about the stalls.
It take some willpower, of course, to deny your curiosity. The first month or two I had to hide my scale deep underneath my sink. I'm still ~15 lbs from my GW, and I plan to keep it up.
Anyway, it's something to consider if you're easily discouraged by apparent scale increases or stalls.
