16、nt to lose weight? Its time to get up close to your bathroom scale(磅称). According to studies, keeping track of your daily weight can help you lose weight and keep it off.Researchers from University of Pittsburgh and University of California studied the self-weighing habits of 1,042 adults over a 12-
17、month period. The participants, who either never weighed themselves or only weighed themselves once a week, didnt lose any weight. However, those who weighed themselves six to seven times a week lost an average of 1.7% of their body weight.There is older science to back up this study. In a two-year
18、study several years ago, the researchers at Cornell University divided 162 participants into two groups. Half of the participants were given a scale and asked to weigh themselves and record their results every day. The other half werent given a scale or any instruction to record their daily self-wei
