So how often should you check-in and weigh yourself on the scale? We have found that weighing in once a week is ideal to lose weight and keep it off. Any more than that, and you are prone to putting on weight rather than losing it. If you weighed in every two weeks or even every month, as an example, you would be able to convince yourself that the odd slip was okay and you would do better at the next meal. However, the truth of the matter is, you have to be held accountable for what you eat at each meal – there are no shortcuts to losing weight.

Checking in and weighing in every week will maintain your motivation and your ability to lose weight, especially when you know that someone will be standing over you and tracking your weight. It is this accountability that will hold you to your diet - to show that you can do it, for yourself, as well as others. Having a support network when you are dieting can be a beneficial way to combat a long-term weight issue.

Trying to lose weight without a plan and continued support along the way can be difficult. If you decide to cut down on fat, without understanding the impact of it on your body, or even monitoring your health, you could be doing more harm than good. An ad hoc program just won’t work. You need to know exactly what you are committing to and then stick to it. You need to be proactive in your search for health. At FIT Medical Weight Loss, our experts are happy to explain everything to you along the way and offer support and guidance to get you there.

The holiday season from Thanksgiving to the New Year period can be especially problematic. If you weren’t committed to regular check-ins during this time of year, then you could imagine how difficult it could be. One more glass of eggnog, one more appetizer – it is easy to let the little things slip through. But when you aren’t paying attention, each little mouthful, or even each extra sip, could be lifting that calorie intake sky high.

If you genuinely want to be committed to your health and your weight loss, at any time of the year, then contact our expert team at FIT Medical Weight Loss. Your weight loss and health is important to us – from your first medical checkup to hitting your goal weight – and beyond.
