The Scale isn't moving....

I won't say I've been dieting, but I have been watching what I'm eating. Also, I've been working out 3 times a week on the bow-flex. It really works you good. My husband got a scale that measures body fat, water percent and weight. Nothing is changing on the scale. Its very frusterating, but he says, "You're gaining muscle, and you look much better". I tell him I don't care, the number on the scale hasn't moved in 3-4 weeks. And no one asks you what your body fat is, they ask what you weigh.

Re: The Scale isn't moving....

I'm not sure which brand scale you have, but I think my body fat scale is a piece of crap, because it can't possibly be accurate. I've lost 20 lbs so far since I had my son almost 3 weeks ago and yet I haven't lost any body fat percentage? Doesn't seem possible to me. You most likely have gained muscle and it's just not registering on the scale. Personally, I don't trust those scales. I doubt your husband would tell you that you look better if it wasn't the truth. Don't beat yourself up over numbers

Re: The Scale isn't moving....

Don't look at the scale!!! Your husband is right - you're losing fat, but you're gaining muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, so the scale will stay the same but you'll look and feel thinner. If you must measure something, measure inches or how your clothes feel. You'll notice a big difference there! Don't give up, you're doing GREAT!!!!

Re: The Scale isn't moving....

You had it only half right......when is the last time someone asked you how much you weighed? People really only go on the visual of how you look.

Go on how much loser your clothing is getting!!!!
