I'd like to add my 2cents regarding use of body weight scales
If you just have to, dont weigh yourself more than once a week at the most frequent.
Truthfully though, alot can happen in the week to obscure your results and demotivate you because the scale isnt showing you love; water intake, water retention due to exercise, not eating enough fiber causicng slower gastric emptying, etc.
I'd recommend weighing yourself one month apart that way you can not only get a better scope of your progress, but you can mentally separate yourself from the obsessing over the results.
Focus more on putting in the work week to week ; Fasting+high fiber foods+water Intake+ regular daily exercise+ and paying attention to your overall mood and energy levels.
the results will come, but you'll never get there if you allow the scale to mindfukk you and kill your drive before you can even reach a goal.
Also one other things regarding scales
Make sure your current weight isnt close to the maximum capacity of the scale because you will get wildly inconsistent readings, usually the ones that send you into a binge eating depression
or in some cases show numbers that are 7 - 25 lbs less than you actually weigh, giving you a false sense of progress, then you jump on a more thorough scale like the ones at the doctor's office and get Terry Tate tackled by reality and start self juelzing.
if you're currently 300 lbs to 330 lbs, you want a scale with a maximum weight capacity of 400 lbs +
If you're 250 lbs or less most scales sold in places like Target or Walmart will give you an accurate reading as it's common for majority of scales to max out at 300 or 330.
Dont be too cheap with choosing a scale either, read reviews and do research.
I can guarantee you most $15-$20 body weight scales are programmed horribly, drain batteries too quickly and just shyt in general Most of the solid to good quality scales are in the $34-$62 range roughly....again roughly and doesnt take ito account discounts and special offers and shyt.
I know some use fat calipers or whatever, but this could still help.
