When the Scale Doesn't Change

WEEKLY CLIENT RESOURCE

Good morning, Subscriber First Name,

This week's lesson is so crucial. It's maybe the most important one yet.

So much of the weight loss journey is a mental battle. You will unquestionably go through periods where you know you're doing everything right, but the scale doesn't budge - or even worse, creeps up a bit.

I've been there many times before and I get it - it's frustrating. But I've also been at this long enough that I've mostly become numb to it, because I know the short term fluctuations don't mean much. You need to zoom out and as long as the weekly and monthly trends are heading in the right direction, all is on track.

Weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. As you get going you'll realize more and more that the actual time line doesn't really matter, as long as you eventually get to where you wanna be.

I would rather drop 20 pounds over 9 months in a sustainable fashion that you know you can maintain forever, than drop it in 3 months in an overly restrictive fashion that leads to you gaining it back a couple months later.

But back to the scale - the simplest concept you should understand is that there are many reasons independent of fat loss / gain why the scale might change. Read below for an overview of those various factors, as well as other progress markers you should always keep in mind . . .
