What Counts As Progress For Weight Loss?
If you are frustrated because you don't see the scale going down every day/week... just know that there are many other signs of progress that you might not be thinking about!
Are you looking leaner in the mirror? Are you seeing visual changes? Those are huge signs of progress that the scale doesn't show you!
Are your clothes fitting better? If so, that is fantastic! That means you are losing body fat. If your pants are looser, you are on the right track.
Don't get too caught up in the number on the scale. It can be easy to get attached to the scale!
Just know that the number on the scale does not solely define your progress.
It is entirely possible that the scale isn't going down but your clothes are feeling looser, meaning you are definitely losing weight.
How about your food choices? Are you making healthier choices when it comes to your diet and nutrition? If so, that is amazing! It's not easy to make the healthiest food choices. Good on you!
Are you feeling more energized? Or perhaps your workouts are going great and you are feeling stronger. That is fantastic.
Do you feel more confident when you walk around? If so, that is AWESOME! That is a huge sign of progress that the scale doesn't show you!
Don't get discouraged if the scale isn't consistently going down.
There is so much more to think about than the number on the scale.
You are doing MUCH better than you think you are! Okay???
Have a great day.
