10: How Often Should You Weigh Yourself?

Listen Later

Do you feel like the scale dictates your mood? Have you ever “gained” a pound overnight and spiraled… even though you didn’t do anything different? Wondering if you should weigh yourself daily, weekly, or not at all?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about weighing yourself on your weight loss journey.

Spoiler alert: it’s not a one-size-fits-all answer. This episode is your no-BS guide to understanding what the scale actually measures, how to use it (or not) as a tool for progress, and what to focus on instead if it’s messing with your mindset.

I’m sharing exactly what I tell my clients about daily vs. weekly weigh-ins, how to know when the scale is helpful (and when it’s harmful), and the alternative progress tools that actually matter for sustainable fat loss. If you’re ready to stop letting the scale mess with your head and start tracking progress in a healthier, more effective way, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why the number on the scale is NOT a reflection of your fat loss
  • How to measure your real progress without obsessing over weight
  • The one thing the most successful maintainers do (and how often they weigh)
  • When to ignore the scale completely—and what to do instead
  • Why your weight is a range, not a single number (and how to move that range down)
  • How to use data (not drama) to guide your journey
