FOCUSING ON THE SCALE



You want to lose weight, so you weigh yourself, right? Yes…and no.

Weight is an easy way to measure your progress, but it doesn't tell you the whole story.

Even if the scale isn't budging, that does not mean that you're not making major progress toward losing weight and getting healthier. You can lose inches, get fitter, gain lean muscle mass, drop body fat, become better hydrated, look better and feel more energized without the pounds budging at all.
 
Remember that the scale tells you only one thing: the total mass of all your body parts at a given moment. Don't put too much stock into it.

Weigh yourself frequently but track all the other signs that amazing changes are happening in your body even if the scale doesn't move. This is the best way to stay motivated for the long haul.
