Jump on the scale! Yes I said it; jump on the scale. I probably weigh myself everyday and some people say this can be a bad thing which I understand to some degree. 1- Mostly because a number isn't everything and I get that (a number doesn't take muscle mass, height, bone structure, age, etc. into consideration, it's simply a number) 2- We can sometimes get obsessed over this 'meaningless' number.
Therefore, I encourage you to find your own method of keeping track of your body and its progress or lack of progress. When I step on the scale and I'm up a few pounds, then I drag myself out for a walk and cut out the sweets that day. If I'm on the lower end of my weight, then I proudly tell my husband to check me out. Weighing myself keeps me on track and stable.
Maybe your method might be how you fit into your jeans. Are you noticing a muffin top......(it doesn't even sound attractive) so get up and get moving!
Is your stomach getting flatter even when you sit down? Then celebrate (but not with food).
It is important to note that your body is different every day. Some days you will be bigger or weigh more but this is why we keep track, so that we can be ever so cautious.
I leave you with this image: allow yourself some wiggle room but be careful when you get too close to the edge.
