#80. Tracking body weight: how often should you really be weighing yourself?

Jemma Aitken | Exercise Physiologist & Sports Nutritionist Season 1 Episode 80

Although this seems like such a trivial topic, it’s amazing how many people aren’t using the scales in a way that is going to provide them with helpful information.

Tune in to find out exactly what time of day you should be jumping on the scales, as well as how frequently you should be tracking our weight in order to determine progress.

Side note: if you are someone who finds seeing your weight and jumping on the scales triggering, I’d suggest not listening to this episode. You certainly don’t need to know or track your weight in order to change your body composition. The scales are only one single measure of progress, and I work with many women who choose not to weigh themselves at all - which I whole-heartedly support. In this case, we also have plenty of other metrics we can use to monitor progress.
