Weighing Every Day Matters: Daily Weighing Improves Weight Loss and Adoption of Weight Control Behaviors

Are Breaks in Daily Self-Weighing Associated with Weight Gain?

Regular self-weighing is linked to successful weight loss and maintenance. However, an individual's self-weighing frequency typically varies over time. This study examined temporal associations between time differences of consecutive weight measurements and the corresponding weight changes by analysing longitudinal self-weighing data, including 2,838 weight observations from 40 individuals atte...

The efficacy of a daily self-weighing weight loss intervention using smart scales and email

OBJECTIVE To examine the impact of a weight loss intervention that focused on daily self-weighing for self-monitoring as compared to a delayed control group among 91 overweight adults. DESIGN AND METHODS The 6-month intervention included a cellular-connected "smart" scale for daily weighing, web-based weight loss graph, and weekly e-mails with tailored feedback and lessons. An objective measu...

nonexistence of two circulant weighing matrices of weight 81

‎in this paper‎, ‎we prove the nonexistence of two weighing matrices of‎ ‎weight 81‎, ‎namely $cw(88,81)$ and $cw(99,81)$‎. ‎we will apply two‎ ‎very different methods to do so; for the case of $cw(88,81)$‎, ‎we‎  ‎will use almost purely counting methods‎, ‎while for $cw(99,81)$‎, ‎we‎ ‎will use algebraic methods‎.

Weighing in on glycemic index and body weight.

This issue of the Journal includes a provocative observational study by Hare-Bruun et al (1) on a topic vigorously debated among scientists (2–9)—the role of the dietary glycemic index (GI) in the development of obesity. The concept of GI was developed by Jenkins et al (10, 11) at the University of Toronto more than a quarter-century ago as a physiologic, rather than a structural, approach to c...
