It has been a while now that we have been giving you tips and tricks on how to manage your weight, build muscle and address the appearance of cellulite. But do you really know how to weigh yourself correctly? Weighing ourselves properly is important, as it can be a motivating element, so here are our tips for you to avoid weighing yourself the wrong way.
Do you weigh yourself as you should?
A good rhythm
You must know this: it is unnecessary to weigh yourself more than once a week, and certainly not more than once a day! Give your body the time it needs to get used to your new diet and workout routine. The best approach is to weigh yourself once a week. Try to weigh yourself on the same day at the same time. For instance, every Monday, before breakfast. Write your findings in a notebook to track your progress.
The right time
You cannot weigh yourself at any time of the day, such as in the evening! Weigh yourself in the morning, after waking up and before having breakfast. Also try to go to the toilet before weighing yourself. Your clothes can change your readings too, so always weigh yourself without any clothes or in your underwear.
The right position
Once you are on your scales, try to keep your back straight and feet flat, spreading your weight evenly. Don’t lean forward. Tip: weigh yourself on the same scales, as not all scales are set the same and this could alter your readings.
Alternatives to scales
If you don’t have scales or feel that using them isn’t rewarding, you can try this alternative: take pictures of yourself once a month to see how your body has changed (front and profile, in your underwear). Take your measurements at the same time (abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs) and write them in a notebook. This could help you stay motivated, as your shape can change even when the number on the scale does not!
The good attitude
The best attitude is to stay patient and relaxed! Stay motivated, especially at the beginning when you are focusing on building muscle, because your weight can stay the same while your body composition changes. Remember that your weight is only a small part of your journey, and the most important thing is to feel good!
Frequently asked questions
How often should I weigh myself to stay motivated?
The best approach is to weigh yourself once a week, on the same day and at the same time, such as every Monday before breakfast. This avoids the stress of daily fluctuations and allows your body time to adapt to your routine.
Why is it important to use the same scales every time?
Not all scales are calibrated the same way. Using different scales can lead to inconsistent readings, which may alter your recorded results and affect your motivation.
