Whether you are trying to lose fat or gain muscle, one question that often gets asked is "How often should I weigh myself?" Some people say throw out the scale.  Some people say weigh once a week.  What are we supposed to do?  This week I'm going over the question behind why we weigh: "How do I determine if what I'm doing is working?" and giving my insight on how I choose to weigh and what other things I do to evaluate my progress.  Because the scale is just one part of the picture, and it doesn't get to determine our value.
