Get Rid of the Scale

Here’s Your New “Scale”

Some people may wonder how they can accurately track their progress if they’re being told to put the scale away and not track body fat percentage. There are several other indicators you can track that are, in my opinion, more accurate and don’t fluctuate nearly as much on a daily basis as your bodyweight.
Use the following tools as your new “scale”:

-How you look in the mirror
-How your clothes fit
-How you feel. Do you feel strong and healthy? Do you feel better than ever? Do you have more energy? Are you performing well in the gym, or other activities? Do you find daily tasks easier?
-Focus on your actions. Are you eating well? Are you training consistently? Are your actions in line with your goals?
-Keep track of a few measurements like waist, hips, thighs, and arms. I recommend having the same person measure you, and take note of how you stand, time of day (preferably first thing in the morning), etc. You want everything to be the same each time. And, ladies, I suggest not doing this around your menstrual cycle.
