Why haven’t I lost any weight on the scale?
October 4, 2010 by Deb
I overheard a member today at the gym saying that they haven’t lost ANY weight and just couldn’t understand what they were doing wrong.
Anyway, it reminded me of conversations I have had with clients over the years. They will tell me how they’re feeling fitter, stronger, leaner, their clothes are looser and they are in a few notches on their belt. People have noticed and commented on how they are looking but all of this counts for nothing because the scales haven’t moved. (Sound familiar?)
My first reply is to get the scales moving you need to throw them out the window! Either that or understand that there is a lot of good things happening and that your weight (which measures everything, good and bad, muscle, fat, blood, bones, water, hair etc etc etc) on the scales isn’t the only measure that is important. In fact it can be one of the least important especially if it takes away from all of the other great changes you are making to your body and health.
So what I am trying to say is focus on the positives and don’t let small negatives ruin your mindset and motivation!
Have a great week,
Deb
