In this brief video, Jim Katsoulis argues that weighing yourself only once a week is counterproductive for tracking weight loss because the body’s weight fluctuates daily. He explains that without daily measurements, these fluctuations go unnoticed, obscuring true progress over a week. Consequently, he advises anyone using the scale for weight‑loss monitoring to weigh themselves every day to obtain a clear, accurate picture of their success.

Weighing yourself once a week is one of the cruelest things you can do to yourself if you're going to use the scale to measure your weight loss, because your body's constantly fluctuating day to day. And if you don't weigh yourself every day, you're not going to recognize those fluctuations. And over a week, you're not seeing a real clear picture of your success. So if you're going to use the scale, make sure you start weighing yourself every day.
