If you must use a scale to weigh yourself, only do so once a week, since your body weight can vary each day as much as 5 pounds. Also be consistent about the time you weigh yourself as your weight fluctuates through out the day. Most fitness experts recommend weighing yourself first thing in the morning right after your morning bathroom ritual.
Thanks, I knew muscle weighed more, but never thought it was THAT much more...
