Weigh every morning

This may not work for all metabolisms-- but I weigh myself every morning using a digital scale. That way I can see my daily progress, even if it's just .2 pounds less. It keeps me from splurging because I'll see the results the very next day versus the end of the week.

MORE INFORMATION:
I use a digital scale, a dial scale won't work too well for this.

Weighing Food With Postal Scale Is a Big Help

My postal scale doubles as a food scale for weighing meats and cheeses to help keep me on track. It's always handy and leaves no doubt about my calorie intake for a meal.

MORE INFORMATION:
Hint: To prevent the scale from getting dirty, I place a sheet of plastic wrap on the scale before weighing the food.
