Can You Feel the Weight Loss Tonight?

Gauging Weight Loss Success

Although weight scales are hip when it comes to determining weight loss, a drop in the number on the scales isn't the best indicator of 'fat' loss.

If your weight scales appear to be hung in neutral, ask the following questions and you may find that your weight scales are lying if only temporarily:

- Is your belt moving down a notch?
- Are your rings looser?
- Do your pants fit looser?
- Are your skirts looser and do the hems fall closer to the floor these days?
- What about those tighty-whities? Looser?
- Do your glasses or sunglasses feel less snug on your face?

When Scales Lie - Examples of False Weight Gain

- If you've been hitting exercise at a regular beat, those new muscles weigh heavier than fat which is reflected on the weight scales. Although it may appear that weight loss has stalled OR that you've gained a couple of pounds, in actuality your body is holding less fat and more muscle - which is a very good thing when it comes to a healthier body.

- A sly little pickle can turn the weight scales sour by registering false weight gain due to 'high sodium pickle intake'.

- That 'certain time of the month' is capable of adding several false pounds to the weight scales.

In Summary

Weight scales are perfect for monitoring weight gain and weight loss but should not be a sole source for determining the effectiveness of a diet or weight loss plan.
