014: The Scale is Lying to You: Non-Scale Victories to Track Instead
Let’s Walk 1.5 Miles!
If the bathroom scale has ever ruined your mood, discouraged your progress, or made you question your health journey, this episode is for you. Sherie breaks down the problem with relying solely on the scale and shares six non-scale victories that are far more accurate indicators of fat loss and true health.
✔ Ditch the weight-loss mindset and focus on fat loss instead
✔ Learn why the scale fluctuates—and what it can’t tell you
✔ Discover 6 powerful, motivating markers that show you’re making progress
This is your reminder that the scale doesn’t define you—and it definitely doesn’t tell the full story.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn…
[01:00] Why weight loss ≠ fat loss—and why that distinction matters
[04:00] Who should keep using the scale—and who absolutely shouldn’t
[07:00] 3 facts about what the scale actually measures
