Focusing too much on weight can make you miss the real results that matter - the ones that actually make you feel good in your body and in your life.
Let me tell you about a few women I’ve worked with:
- One client lost just 2kg in three months, but she dropped two jean sizes. Her body was changing in all the right ways - her waist was smaller, her arms and legs felt stronger, and she felt good in her clothes again.
- Another client was frustrated that the scale wasn’t moving, but when we compared her measurements, she’d lost 12cm from her waist and bust. Her clothes fit better, she had more energy, and she felt stronger in the gym.
- A third client came to me with the goal of weight loss but was blown away when she realised lots of other benefits: she was sleeping better, waking up with more energy, and not relying on snacks to get through the afternoon. For the first time in years, she wasn’t constantly thinking about food.
These are the results that don’t show up on the scale.
What You Might Be Missing
When you focus only on the number on the scales, you miss out on recognising:
✔️ How your clothes fit – Dropping a jean size feels way better than seeing a random number on a scale. ✔️ Your body composition changes – You might be losing fat and gaining muscle, which won’t always show as a drop in weight.
✔️ More energy & better sleep – Waking up feeling refreshed instead of exhausted is a huge win.
✔️ Improved digestion, mood, and focus – The right nutrition fuels your body in ways that impact every part of your life.
A Better Way to Track Progress Instead of obsessing over the scales, try focusing on:
✅ How your clothes fit
✅ Your energy levels
✅ Your measurements
✅ Your sleep quality
✅ Your strength & fitness improvements
✅ How you feel in your body
If you’re making changes but feeling frustrated because the scales aren’t cooperating - pause. Look at the bigger picture. Because real progress isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about feeling better, moving better, and your quality of life.
