Loosing weight🙌….
When you talk about losing weight, what you usually mean is slimming down.
You might want to lose weight around the hips, thighs, belly, and arms. But the odd thing about slimming down is that it doesn't always mean losing actual weight off the scale.
It's possible to get thinner without actually seeing a change in your weight. This happens when you lose body fat while gaining muscle. Your weight may stay the same, even as you lose inches, a sign that you're moving in the right direction. Knowing the difference between losing weight and losing body fat can change how you see yourself and your progress.
A typical scale shows your weight, but it doesn't tell you how much of that weight is muscle, fat, water, bones, or organs. A bodybuilder's weight could be off the charts because of extra muscle, but it doesn't mean they are overweight or fat. Knowing your body composition is crucial information if you really want to get results. Unfortunately, the typical scale doesn't tell you that.
Here's how the scale may mislead you.
❇️It measures everything. The number on the scale includes muscles, fat, bones, organs, food, and water. For that reason, your scale weight can be a deceptive number.
❇️It doesn't reflect the changes happening in your body. If you're doing cardio and strength training, you may build lean muscle tissue at the same time you're losing fat. In that case, the scale may not change even though you're getting leaner and slimmer.
❇️It doesn't reflect your health. The scale can't tell the difference between fat and muscle. That means a person can have a low body weight but still have unhealthy levels of body fat.
❇️It isn't always a positive motivator. If you step on the scale and you're unhappy with what you see, how does that make you feel? You may question everything you're doing, wondering why you even bother at all. Focusing on weight may overshadow the positive results you're getting, such as fat loss, more endurance, and higher energy levels.
Be patient - Trust the process & your clothes!!
