Many of my clients are 100% focused on weight loss. As they start working out with me and increasing their fitness level, their pants feel loose, but they are not losing weight (according to their scale). The lack of actual pounds lost on the scale is very frustrating, and can wreak havoc on your motivation.
I'm sure most of you know that muscle weighs more than fat, and lean people are actually a lot heavier than you think. A 5'6' woman with 20 percent body fat weighs about 140 pounds. In comparison, a 5'6" woman with 30 percent body fat weighs 160 pounds.
Don't be frustrated when you start working out and you don't see the scale go down right away. We need to focus on decreasing body fat and not watching the scale. Eventually, the scale will go down, but you need to focus on clean eating and daily workouts. Many people think that since they are working out, they don't need to eat clean.
WRONG ... don't do this to yourself.
You need to workout everyday and keep an accurate food journal. Your workouts need to be high intensity, muscle building, and time efficient.
You can do it!
I have read whole article which belongs to trainer which guides for increasing Lean Body Mass.We all need to focus on decreasing body fat and not watching the scale.
