In today’s episode, we discuss a topic that's been buzzing in online forums and client discussions – the scale and its impact on our emotional health and decision-making. As the second month of the year rolls in, we’re notice a troubling trend: people's heavy reliance on the scale to dictate their emotions and choices.

We shed light on the misconceptions surrounding body composition and body weight, highlighting how different these can be despite sharing the same numerical value on the scale. We walk through a variety of data points needed to get a comprehensive view of your fat loss/weight loss journey. We also share a few actionable tips for staying consistent on the weekend.
