Stop letting the day to day scale fluctuations run your life

we love data, but you’ve got to be able to read it

While the scale is one of many metrics we look at, it’s arguably the worst interpreted.

We often see prospective clients putting too much weight on the day-to-day measurements (or fail to take measurements regularly), and don’t spend the time to look at the 2 and 4-week trends.

We don’t expect everyone to be an Excel wiz, so instead, we recommend all of our clients download either HappyScale (iOS) or Libra (Android). to take charge of looking at their own weight trends!

Imagine you’re in a fat loss phase....

... and you see this.

You might think to yourself, “Wow, this is failing; nothing is happening, and I should probably slash my calories.”

WHEN IN REALITY....

You have an iPhone, and you’re using HappyScale.

You see that weight is trending down -0.9lb and you don’t change anything. You know the process is working.

You have an Android, and you’re using Libra.

You see that weight is trending down -0.9lb and you don’t change anything. You know the process is working.

takeaways

If you are just “looking” at the day-to-day weigh-ins without having a lens to look at the data through, it’s easy to make incorrect assumptions based on the “visual” scale fluctuations.

In our cohorts and 1:1 coaching, we have built-in trends modeling into client check-in forms so our clients can smooth the noise out of the fluctuations.
