Measuring Progress

Using the scale to measure progress towards a weight loss goal seems to be the gold standard that we use. But there are so many factors that go into scale weight - our body's gravitational pull towards the earth - that we don't have control over and really mask what we're using the scale for letting us know how we're doing towards our goal. In this episode, you'll learn other methods that you can use to determine the progress that doesn't leave you feeling frustrated & that you're not progressing. Because sometimes, scale is the last thing to move when we want it to.Hey! I love hearing from you. Send me a text. Let me know what resonated with you.
