A study published by the American journal of Preventive Medicine shows that obese adults that weighted themselves regularly lost about 1 extra pour for every 11 days they self-weighed. Those participants were also 11 times more likely to lose at least 5% of their pretreatment weight after 6 months. The study concluded that self-weighting may be an effective we to improve weight loss.
