I am working with a client who is very new to exercise and has over 150 lb to lose. I want her to be able to measure her progress, but I don’t want her to have to get on the scale too frequently because the scale brings up negative emotions. How often would you recommend client weigh-ins?
I have my clients weigh themselves once a week, along with tracking on myfitnesspal together. I also suggest that they take it 20 pounds at a time, it’s too daunting to focus on losing 150.
Motivation comes in many forms, this is one form of accountability.
