87 | Frustrated By The Scale? Instead Of Weighing, Try These Other Methods Of Measuring Progress

Hey Mamma!

I see you over there-getting on the scale once a week and then disappointed when there's no change, or worse, it's going up!!😱

I've got some encouragement for you. In today's podcast episode, I’m diving into ways to measure your progress that don’t involve stepping on the scale.

I know a lot of moms can get caught in the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the ups and downs of our weight. It’s so easy to get discouraged when the number on the scale doesn’t reflect all the hard work you’re putting in to lose weight, right?

I talk about why the scale can sometimes be misleading and what other methods you can use to track your progress in a way that feels better and more motivating. Some of the things I cover in the episode include:

• How taking measurements (instead of focusing on weight) can show real changes in body composition

• The magic of progress pictures and how they help you see changes the scale can’t

• Paying attention to how your clothes fit and, even more importantly, how you feel—because that matters too!

I also touch on how to track progress in the gym by looking at things like how much weight you’re lifting, your reps, and your RPE (rate of perceived exertion)—all great ways to see improvement without relying on numbers that can feel discouraging.

I think this episode will be a game-changer if you’ve been stuck or struggling with motivation, or if you’ve ever felt like the scale just isn’t telling the whole story.

I hope you enjoy it and find a fresh perspective on how to measure your progress in a way that’s both encouraging and sustainable.
