I recently read this article (click the link) on the variety of factors including social, physiological and psychological that play key roles in weight loss. The article is focused on women and the different factors that can make it more difficult to see results on the scale from week to week, including social pressure to be thin and hormone fluctuations. My favorite part of the article falls smack dab in the middle and states that with all these outside factors, a person’s weight isn’t always the best way to gauge fitness level. “A lot of people need to divorce from the scale and start dating body composition” -Roberta Anding, Spokesperson for the American Dietetics Association
