Daily weigh-ins will drive you crazy because the number swings for reasons that have nothing to do with fat loss. Hydration, constipation, sodium, even the time of day can make that number meaningless.
Here’s what actually matters:
1. Fat-free mass (your muscle + water + organs)
Bioimpedance tells you how much total body water you have, which helps estimate muscle. More muscle means more stored water and better metabolic health.
2. Your waist
If the scale is dropping but your waist isn’t shrinking, that’s muscle loss.
3. Your ratios
Waist-to-height: your waist should be under half your height.
Waist-to-hip: under .8 for women (under .7 is even better).
You want to lose fat, not muscle.
Track the right numbers so you can see the right progress.
