When You’re Losing Weight
It’s important not to put too much stock in the exact number on the scale, because it can and will vary. This is especially true when you’re dieting. Small weight gains and losses are common as your body adjusts to fewer calories and more exercise. Your scale is a valuable tool when used to track weight over a period of weeks and months. Be aware that different scales often give different results. The scale at your doctor’s office may show one weight, and your scale at home another. So don’t get too caught up with a single number.
