The purpose of the study was to describe participants' experience of daily weighing and to explore factors influencing adherence to daily weighing among individuals who were successful in losing weight during a behavioral weight loss intervention. Participants completed a 12-month weight loss intervention study that included daily self-weighing using a Wi-Fi scale. Individuals were eligible to participate regardless of their frequency of self-weighing. The sample ( N = 30) was predominantly female (83.3%) and White (83.3%) with a mean age of 52.9 ± 8.0 years and mean body mass index of 33.8 ± 4.7 kg/m. Five main themes emerged: reasons for daily weighing (e.g., feel motivated, being in control), reasons for not weighing daily (e.g., interruption of routine), factors that facilitated weighing, recommendations for others about daily weighing, and suggestions for future weight loss programs. Our results identified several positive aspects to daily self-weighing, which can be used to promote adherence to this important weight loss strategy.
该研究的目的是描述参与者每日称重的体验，并探讨在行为减肥干预期间成功减重的个体中影响坚持每日称重的因素。参与者完成了一项为期12个月的减肥干预研究，其中包括使用Wi-Fi秤进行每日自我称重。无论个体自我称重的频率如何，均有资格参与。样本（N = 30）主要为女性（83.3%）和白人（83.3%），平均年龄为52.9±8.0岁，平均体重指数为33.8±4.7kg/m。出现了五个主要主题：每日称重的原因（例如，感到有动力、掌控局面）、不每日称重的原因（例如，日常被打断）、促进称重的因素、关于每日称重给他人的建议以及对未来减肥计划的建议。我们的结果确定了每日自我称重的几个积极方面，可用于促进对这一重要减肥策略的坚持。
