Once-a-week weigh-ins are helpful if you're trying to lose weight or maintain your present weight.
On the other hand, if regularly scheduled weight checks leave you feeling anxious, gauge your weight by how you look and by the fit of your clothes. Just don't rely on elastic waistbands when you're evaluating your size!
Some of us like to keep an eye on small weight gains with more frequent weight checks. For me, that means a few times a week.
Whatever your strategy, keep in mind that your weight can fluctuate a little from day to day irregardless of what you eat. You may even weigh more in the evening than in the morning of the very same day.
Does a digital scale have any advantage over an old-fashioned dial scale? Not really. You're not looking for a down-to-the-gram exact measurement. What's important is to keep an eye on changes in weight and nip them in the bud with exercise and smart eating.
