Should I Measure Myself Regularly or Just Rely on the Scales?Updated a month ago
š Should I Measure Myself Regularly or Just Rely on the Scales?
Tracking your progress in more than one way is a brilliant idea. The scales do not always tell the full story, but your measurements and how you feel can reveal the real changes happening in your body.
āØ Why Measurements Matter
šŖ Muscle vs Fat Loss
If you are exercising, you may be gaining muscle while losing fat. Muscle is denser than fat, so even if the scales do not move much, your waist, hips and other measurements may still be changing, showing true progress.
š Non-Scale Victories
The number on the scales is just one part of the journey. Looser clothes, more energy and feeling better in yourself are all huge wins that cannot be measured by weight alone.
š The Scales Do Not Always Tell the Whole Story
Your weight can naturally fluctuate from day to day due to hormones, digestion or water retention. Measuring your body helps you see the bigger picture, even when the scales are not shifting.
š Spotting Trends Over Time
Tracking areas such as your waist, hips, arms and thighs helps you notice the small but powerful changes that add up over the weeks.
š Stay Motivated
When the scales feel frustrating, seeing inches lost can be just the boost you need to stay focused and keep going.
šļø How Often Should I Measure?
Once a week or every two weeks is ideal. This gives your body time to make visible changes and helps you avoid getting caught up in daily fluctuations.
ā
The Best Approach
Track both your weight and your measurements to get a complete picture of your progress. Remember, success is not only about the number on the scales. It is about building confidence, better health and a New You.
š Trust your journey. The wins are there, and they come in many forms.
