Depending on the day, the bathroom scale is either the most loved or the most hated item in your house. But what if the numbers staring back at you aren't always a reflection of the shape you're in?
"Just because the scale isn't moving, it doesn't mean that you're making zero progress toward your fitness goals and dream body," Dr. Mike Roussell, cofounder of Neuro Coffee and Neutein, told INSIDER. "The scale is a poor marker of short-term progress because it doesn't differentiate between changes in water, fat, or muscle," he added.
To avoid this false plateau, Roussell said to make to sure to track your progress through several different data points, including girth (chest, waist, and arm size) and body fat percentage.
"Don't expect to lose two pounds per week every single week until you reach your goal," he said. Some weeks you'll lose less, and some weeks you'll lose more; that's just part of the natural process of weight loss.
