THE SCALES ARE GOING DOWN… BUT WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?
When you’re losing weight, the number on the scales isn’t the only thing worth paying attention to. In fact, the scales are simply showing you the combined weight of everything that makes up your body at that moment.
That includes:
💪 Muscle
💧 Water
🦴 Bone
❤️ Organs and tissues
🥩 Body fat
🍽️ Food and fluid in your digestive system
⚡ Stored glycogen and other body stores
…and if your lucky enough to be a female of a certain age menopause likes to add a bit now and again too! 👊🏼
So when the number changes, it doesn’t automatically tell you which of these several things it is that has changed.
And that’s why we need to look beyond the scales.
The goal shouldn’t simply be:
❌ Get as light as possible.
It’s about becoming:
✅ Stronger
✅ Fitter
✅ More active
✅ Healthier
✅ More confident
✅ More capable
✅Happy in your own skin
What’s the point in simply chasing a smaller number if we’re not also working towards becoming a stronger and healthier version of ourselves?
This is something I’ll be focusing heavily on as I develop my GLP-1 support programme. I don’t want to just help people lose weight. I want to help people build a better lifestyle, improve their health and feel better in their own body. That’s why I’ll always encourage people to look at the whole picture, not just what the scales say.
More on this soon…
