So many people seem to advise against frequently weighing yourself during weight loss, some suggest weekly or fortnightly. I'm saying daily weigh-ins are essential after doing it for 258 days.
See the link above to my weight in August. On the 4th August I weigh 85.7kg. If I waited until 29th August for my next weigh in I was 85.9kg - really disappointing, I've put 0.2 kg on over 25 days - potentially demotivating especially knowing I had a calorie deficit of over 15,000 calories during that period.
However with daily weigh-ins you can clearly see a trend line throughout August showing my steady weight loss. I pay more attention to my average weekly weight which for the first week of Aug (29 Jul-4 Aug) was 87.0 kg and last week of Aug (26 Aug-1 Sep) was 85.2kg - 1.8kg lost for the month.
August was a slow month as you can see from my weight loss chart for the whole year but my calorie deficit does reflect this and CICO has held true throughout the whole year:
And finally for CICO nerds, here is my actual weight loss vs calorie deficit. Note that I need to adjust my Fitbit calorie burn by a factor of 0.86 to bring it in line with my actual weight loss, but once I have done that it remains accurate throughout the whole period.
Anybody else a fan of the daily weigh-ins?
