you'll distract yourself, 'cause if you weigh yourself one day and you lose a pound, then the next day you want to cheat, you'll say * well i lost a pound i can afford it* when really you're just going back and fourth.
Do it once a week.. it's rewarding and thinking of that weigh day, you'll wanna try extra hard to see results.
good luck!

for me i weigh once a week. Here's why
a) if you weigh yourself everyday and look at the scale and are like WOW I GAINED A POUND.
see your weight varies from day to day. And that pound is more of less from water.
So by weighing yourself only ONCE a week then you can see you progress for the whole week and it's more of an acurate thing
b) if you do gain a 'water' pound you'll be really down. ANd you'll lose motivation. Honestly that's how i got out of control was looking everday and seeing the same or more of a gain.
Today when i saw i finally got below 145 and i haven't been below that in like a year so it's really big. I SCREAMED!
so i think that if you'll weight once a week you'll keep more motivated. And think thoughts like
'Kay so i weigh on sunday- i really should work hard and i'll see what i want'
things like that- stay positve!
