This suggests that daily self-weighing is an effective and safe weight-control strategy among overweight adults attempting to lose weight.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effectiveness of a multimodal online well-being intervention: a randomized controlled trial.
Well-being encompasses physical, psychological, and social aspects of health and predicts healthcare utilization and expenditures. Despite their potential clinical impact, interventions that leverage social network effects to target well-being are uncommon. ⋯ A multimodal online intervention leveraging social network effects significantly improved well-being over control. Higher levels of participation as well as increasing levels of social integration were associated with greater improvement in well-being.
