Ep. 198 Here's Why Your Weight REALLY Isn't Moving

The REAL reason your weight isn't moving might surprise you...

And that reason has to do with how you are measuring your weight in the first place: the scale.

Most women will randomly step on the scale one day to see where they are at, or they weigh in at the doctors office. They’re shocked to see a number higher than they expected or heavier than they've ever been before. They decide to go on a diet, or to start exercising more and eating healthier.

They continue to step on the scale each morning and at first they see the number go down… they feel excited. After a couple of days it goes up and now they feel frustrated. They continue like this… back and forth with weight up and down, and after a few weeks the scale is up even HIGHER than it was when they started… now she feels like “what the hell” this is pointless, and goes back to her “normal” eating routine.

See how this could be a problem when it comes to weight loss?

In today's episode, we're going to breakdown how to use the scale properly as one tool for weight loss, how to be aware of normal fluctuations, how to use multiple metrics to assess progress, why you should also focus on performance goals, and much more!
