Get off that Scale!!!

      Many people make the mistake of constantly weighing themselves and tracking their progress based on the scale alone.  The problem with this method is that their weight can fluctuate daily depending on a multitude of factors.  Trying to lower calories too low too fast can cause muscle loss, additionally hydration can cause weight fluctuations.  Weighing in everyday can cause frustration and make individuals want to give up.  Healthy fat loss is 1-2 pounds per week.  Any more than 2 pounds runs the risk of losing quality muscle.  Losing weight takes time so don't get frustrated and I suggest ditching the scale.  Does the number really matter anyway??  What matters is staying focused, pushing past setbacks, looking and feeling good.  KEEP UP THE WORK!!!!
