Daily Weighing a Good Thing

I guess I missed this article from a couple of weeks ago, but there was
a follow up in today's Cornell Chronicle that got my attention. The
follow-up isn't posted yet, but here's the link to the researcher's
findings on daily weighing.

Its no surprise to me - people who keep weight off long term are really
strict self monitors, so they can deal with 2 pounds before it gets to
be 5 or 10 or 15.

Its one of the characteristics of people on the National Weight Loss
Registry. The four key things successful maintainers seem to have are
low fat diets, eating breakfast, regular exercise and frequent weigh
ins.

A day without weighing is like a day without sunshine!

It's more important than my morning cuppa.

Gee, maybe I need to buy a scale :-). I'm pretty good about the other
three things, but I don't weigh regularly any more. I do check my
weight occasionally at the gym, particularly if I feel it may have
changed. But I can guess my weight within a couple of pounds just by
the fit of my clothes. (It takes a lot less to make a difference in
the fit of a size 4 than a size 26 :-) .)
