It is a good tool. it is a wonderful tool to use if you are a number person, but it is going to make you spiral if it’s the only tool you use.

Especially for women, your hormones, extra sodium, higher humidity, can cause water retention which can show an extra few pounds on the scale. If you know you are in a calorie deficit but are not seeing the scale go down… just keep going. keep fighting to establish better habits and lifestyle.

I am saying this because I spent a whole two weeks seeing the scale not move an ounce when I thought I was doing so well.. then suddenly within a few days after my cycle was over I dropped 5 lbs in two days. Did I lose 5 lbs of fat in 2 days? absolutely not… but I feel less bloated because I am retaining less water.

if the scale is not moving, just keep going. Weigh what you’re eating until you feel comfortable you know how to portion. Get your protien and fiber. Move around a bit more And don’t get discouraged just because fat-loss is not a simple linear line.
