I have friends who weight themselves daily, sometimes more than once.  I used to weigh in once a week, because it was required for the program that I was following, but I hated that because sometimes I'd gain water weight if I ate something salty, even thought I had eating “on program” all week and I found that frustrating.

Recently - since I've revamped my diet - I really don't like to do that.  I want my focus to be more on getting fit and healthy than on “losing weight” so I'm wondering about weighing in once a month, and using the way my clothes fit to gague my progress throughout the rest of the month.  I have also recorded my measurements, and plan to check those monthly as well.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for the advice, Dr. Ray!  I did also buy a MyoTape  to do my measurements and am recording those on the same days that I weigh myself.  This is the first time I've tried weighing myself less than once a week, and I have to say that it's not easy for me.  It was tempting to hop on the scale this morning at the gym.  I think I'll stick with the monthly weighing through January 1 (which I can't believe is less than 2 months away) and then see how I feel about it.  If I decide to weigh more often, I'll get the True Weight app- I've seen it in the app store on iTunes.

Thanks again for your response.  Love the podcast and think this forum is awesome.
