Break Up with the Scale: Why Fat Loss Matters More Than Weight Loss After 50

Is the scale helping you measure progress—or stealing your joy? In this short Friday Extra Credit episode of FAT LOSS SCHOOL, Amy explains why weight loss and fat loss are NOT the same thing, especially for women over 50. The number on the scale includes much more than body fat, and normal changes in water, glycogen, digestion, food intake, workouts and other factors can cause daily weight fluctuations. Meanwhile, a woman can lose fat, gain muscle, become smaller and stronger—and weigh exactly the same. You'll learn why body composition matters, why two women at the same weight can look completely different, and better ways to measure fat-loss progress, including waist measurements, clothing fit, progress photos, strength, energy, daily function and long-term weight trends. Plus, Amy challenges us to consider something even bigger: Has losing weight taken up too much space in your identity and your life? The scale is information. It isn't your grade—and it certainly isn't your worth.
