Helpful Monitoring Tips:
Stick with your scale. Avoid weighing yourself on health club scales
or other scales, since measurements can vary among devices.
Try to measure yourself at the same time of day, like first thing in
the morning.
Dont eat or exercise for two hours before you get on the scale.
Dont get upset by short-term weight gains or plateaus. Remember,
the goal is long-term fitness.
Once you reach your desired weight and body fat %, use your body
fat scale once a week to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Monitoring Body Fat Promotes Healthy Weight Loss!
Amy and Sue are both 54" and weigh 150 pounds. Each has a starting
body fat % of 35.75%. To get fit, Amy cut calories and tried a "fat-free"
diet. Sue reduced her calorie intake, but added regular aerobic exercise
and strength training.
At the end of eight weeks, each woman lost 15 pounds. Whats the dif-
ference? As you can see from the chart, Amy actually got "fatter," gain-
ing body fat. Sue lost weight and decreased her body fat.
Losing weight alone does not mean getting fit!
