DON'T Weigh Yourself to Measure Progress | Do This Instead!
(Watch this video on YouTube here - https://youtu.be/ybjgPa9kcAU)
Another big mistake women make when trying to get fit is they obsess over losing weight, when in fact, that's not actually what they want to do.
When you say you want to "lose weight," what you actually mean is lose fat.
When you say you want to "tone up," what you actually mean is gain muscle.
Body composition is the percentage of you that comes from body fat and the percentage that comes from lean muscle mass.
Therefore, what you're actually trying to do is optimize your body composition, not lose weight.
You're trying to decrease body fat and increase lean muscle mass.
If you follow the steps above - hit your macros and strength train - you will do this very quickly in less time and energy than you ever thought possible!
I am really against using a bodyweight scale in general because too many women have emotional issues with it.
Beyond that, the scale is only telling you your total weight - not your body composition. Which essentially means the scale isn't worth your time and energy.
Therefore, instead of using a scale to track your progress, you're going to use 2 things:
1 - A measuring tape
2 - Photos
That's all you need to see progress happening.
Every 2 weeks or every month, take 5 different photos:
Front, Side & Back (with your arms at the side for front & back, arms in front for the side photo)
Front & Back Double Bicep Flex
I like the double bicep flex because you can see your muscle definition more than when they're not flexed.
Important - always take photos in a bikini or bra & underwear in good lighting with a clear background to see your body as clearly as possible!
You can take photos every week if you want, but the changes might be too gradual to notice week to week. However, you'll definitely be seeing changes month to month, if you're following the process laid out in this guide!
