🛑 Stop weighing yourself once a week.
I know that sounds counterintuitive, but hear me out.
When you only weigh yourself once a week, you're getting ONE data point. And that one number could be influenced by so many things that have nothing to do with actual fat loss:
•Where you are in your cycle
°How much sodium you had yesterday
•Whether you've gone #2
•How hard you trained
•How much water you're retaining
•Stress levels
•Sleep quality
So if you happen to step on the scale on a day when you're up 2 pounds from water retention, you're going to think you had a bad week, even if you did everything right.
Here's what I recommend instead: weigh yourself daily.
Daily weigh-ins give you way more data. You get to see the natural fluctuations that happen throughout the week, and you start to understand that a spike on Tuesday doesn't mean anything in the big picture.
What you're looking for is the trajectory over weeks and months, not day-to-day changes.📉
Track your weight daily, then look at the average over the week. Are you averaging about 0.5-1 pound of loss per week? That's your sweet spot for sustainable fat loss.
The scale is just one tool. And when you use it correctly, with more data, not less...it becomes way less stressful and way more helpful.
Stop giving one weigh-in all the power. Start collecting data and looking at trends.
