Your Jeans As Your Scale

Have you recently started to exercise, but haven't seen the number on the scale move? Maybe your using the wrong scale. While reading fitness expert Rachel Cosgrove's new book, The Female Body Breakthrough, I came across a very interesting recommendation. Use your jeans as your weight loss gauge.

Simply get a pair of jeans that is 2 sizes too small. Now try to get into them and note how far you can get them up. Then every couple of weeks keep trying to fit into your jeans, again noting how far you can get them up. Each time you try them on you will notice that you fit into them a little bit more, but your weight on the scale may not have changed to much.

Once you fit into them now use these jeans to gauge your progress. If you continue to fit into them your are maintaining your progress, if they are too big you've lost weight, and if they are too tight, well you've gained some weight. You're jeans are now your scale!

So why do your jeans fit, but the number on the scale only goes down a little? It's because when you exercise you will gain muscle as you lose fat. However, one pound of muscle takes up roughly less than 1/4 the space as a pound of fat.

Live Fit,
