Read More »If you’re trying to lose weight, one of the biggest temptations may not be the doughnut. It may actually be the scale. We are a nation of scorekeepers, and we want instant information on how we are doing. That may work in a football game, but it’s not the best way to increase your odds of successful weight loss. “When I counsel patients with a weight loss goal, we usually focus on something other than a number,” says Melissa Majumdar, a registered dietitian in Decatur, Georgia, and bariatric coordinator at Emory University Hospital Midtown. “We can change our diet and behaviors that influence weight, but we can't change the number on the scale, so it's better to focus on the nonscale victories.” These wins can include meeting the physical exercise goal you've set or sleeping the required number of hours to achieve weight loss. While daily scale-jumping is not helpful, there are times when calculating weight loss is beneficial. “Numbers like these are data points that help us determine our progress, if the behavior strategies we are using are beneficial, if our physical efforts are on target,” says Nancy Farrell Allen, a registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of Farrell Dietitian Services in Fredericksburg, Virginia. “The numbers also challenge us to work harder or can motivate us to continue working toward our goals.” There are a wide variety of ways to keep track of weight loss: total weight, waist or other body-part measurement, body mass index, or BMI, and body fat percentage. That last measurement is worth a closer look.

Be mindful of the number it displays but avoid overfocusing on it.” Majumdar tends to agree. In fact, she stresses that “monitoring behavior can be more productive than monitoring outcomes.” For example, instead of noting weight loss, which can vary greatly week to week and sometimes not occur at all, “you could be monitoring a behavior, like steps walked per day, and notice that you had a more sedentary week. That can lead to changes – adding a walk at lunch, getting off the bus or train a stop early, using the stairs – rather than being frustrated with the scale.”
