Measurements
Often times someone trying to loose or gain weight will only use the scale to track their success. However, taking measurements is just as important if not more important than the scale is. If weight training is involved you tend to build muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat, which sometimes will cause the scale not to go down, or even make your numbers higher!
Yesterday I took my measurements and I will take them again in 2-3 months based on the advice of Joe the trainer (who took my measurements). I also will not be going on the scale until June 28th 2010 (well thats the plan atleast); its easier said than done. I usually weigh every Monday morning, but since I’ve starting weight training I have decided to decrease the amount of times I go on the scale.c
