When you're trying to lose weight or maintain a hard-fought weight loss, willpower alone often isn't enough to keep you on track. Here are some little tricks and tools that can help: • Make friends with your scale. Your bathroom scale can be a very useful tool. In fact, 75 percent of the 10,000 successful dieters enrolled in the National Weight Control Registry investigation weigh themselves weekly, and 38 percent do so every day — giving the scale a resounding endorsement forweight-loss maintenance. • Use a tape measure to stay on track. By measuring your waistline, hips, bust, and even thighs and calves, you can record tangible progress toward your goal. Because muscle takes up less volume than fat, you'll see inches drop, even when there might not be a corresponding change on the scale. Discover eight more ways to stay accountable for weight loss.
