📣A REMINDER📣
1. BODY COMPOSITION IS CHANGING When the scale doesn’t move, you are losing body fat while gaining muscle. Your weight may stay the same, even as you lose inches, a sign that you’re moving in the right direction. However, if the scale doesn’t change, you may not even be aware that you’re getting real results, especially if you are not tracking your progress.
2. YOUR WEIGHT FLUCTUATES EACH DAY Sometimes this could be down to water retention due to hormones or an excessive salt intake. Drink lots of water and lower your salt intake to avoid fluid retention and stop stressing over the number on the scale.
3. YOUR WEIGHT DOES NOT ALWAYS SHOW HEALTH Just because someone is thin does not mean they are healthy.In fact a heavier person may have better overall health due to lifestyle choices like eating a balanced diet.Focus on practicing healthier habits and be consistent.For improved health you need to make changes that you can keep to for life. Better blood pressure, improved cholesterol levels are all measures of improved health which may not change the number on the scale.
4. YOUR MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT As you work out, you are building lean muscle which weighs exactly the same as fat but is leaner. if your clothes are looser but the scale is the same, this is because of the lean muscle you have built. Building lean muscle has lots of benefits. Building muscle will help boost your metabolism so you can burn fat even whilst you rest.
5. YOUR CLOTHES TELL THE TRUTH If your clothes fit better, then the number on the scale is not important. Let your clothes be the gage in deciding if you’re healthier lifestyle is paying off.
6. IT CAN BREAK YOUR DAY It all depends on how much muscle and fat you carry and where! Stop focusing on your weight and just worry about adopting a healthier lifestyle.
7. YOUR SCALE DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR EVERYTHING When you step on the scale you are weighing every tissue, cell, the food you ate and the glass of water you just drank. Realise the scale does not account for everything and the numbers do not show the bigger picture of fitness and health.
