I agree with Barbieq13. I weigh myself every morning and it gives me accountability. I have a scale that shows me every .2 pounds. So even if I were to only lose 1.5 pound in a week most days I should be losing at least .2 pounds a day. If I'm not losing at least .2 pounds I review the day before and I see what I could have done better and if I did then I know that those meals are good and I can reuse them. It keeps me motivated. If I let a day go then I feel like I can cheat and then not weigh myself and then cheat again and not weigh myself. I've only ever had success sticking with things when I weighed daily. If I go on vacation or skip I get off track. This is something I have to work on because I can't let one day derail me.
