Background
Frequent self-weighing is associated with successful weight loss and weight maintenance. This study aimed to investigate the association between the frequency of self-weighing and changes in body weight in a large international cohort of smart scale users.
Methods
This was an observational cohort study with 10,000 randomly selected smart scale users who had used the scale for at least a year. Longitudinal weight measurement data were analyzed.
Results
The study found that frequent self-weighing was associated with favorable weight loss outcomes, regardless of specific weight loss interventions. The beneficial associations of regular self-weighing were more pronounced for overweight or obese individuals.
Conclusion
Frequent self-weighing was associated with weight loss and weight loss maintenance in an uncontrolled, free-living setting.
