Weight Loss Tip: What The Scale Is NOT Telling You

Body composition and fat distribution differ from person to person. As such when it comes to measuring your weight loss progress, using clothing sizes and taking circumference measurements is more useful than weighing yourself because both allow you to see if you are losing inches, which is more indicative of changes in your overall body composition. An ideal body composition is one that encompasses a low percentage of fat weight and a high percentage of lean weight (i.e. muscle) relative to overall body weight.

I can second that! I justed weighed in for the third time and although my numbers on the scale remain the same, my body fat composition is changing! Apparently, I'm losing body fat and gaining muscle or something like that.
