Aww thank you Tish 💕🥹 
I still can’t belive made it this far 🫶🏽 I appreciate you being there with all your guidance, knowlegde and motivation. So happy I found you for my weight loss/life style journey! 

Ladies the scale is seriously not the one to focus on. I know it took me some time and knowledge to stop focusing on the scale 😩, the minute you just use it as a tool it will change your focus. I can’t stress enough how important it really is to take those progress photos. They will be the ones to help you stay motivated TRUST ME! Put yourself first, stay consistent and be patient and the results will follow 🥹☺️

Lets a have a good lift!! 💕😊

The number on the scale is not the end-all-be-all when it comes to assessing your fitness and overall health because it doesn't provide a complete picture of your body composition and overall well-being. Here's why:

1. **Muscle vs. Fat**: The scale only measures your total body weight, not the composition of that weight. Muscle weighs more than fat, so someone who is more muscular may weigh more but still be leaner and healthier than someone who weighs the same but has a higher body fat percentage.

2. **Body Composition**: Focusing solely on weight can be misleading because it doesn't account for where the weight is coming from. Someone with a higher muscle mass and lower body fat percentage may have a healthier body composition, even if their weight is higher.

3. **Water Weight**: Fluctuations in water retention can cause temporary changes in weight that don't reflect actual fat loss or gain. Factors such as hydration levels, sodium intake, and hormonal fluctuations can all affect water retention and consequently, the number on the scale.

4. **Health Markers**: Other indicators of health, such as energy levels, strength, cardiovascular fitness, and flexibility, are not reflected in the number on the scale. Focusing on improvements in these areas can provide a more accurate measure of your overall fitness and well-being.

5. **Psychological Impact**: Obsessing over the number on the scale can lead to unhealthy behaviors and negative self-image. It's essential to focus on overall health and well-being rather than just a number, as progress in fitness and health is multifaceted and cannot be accurately captured by a single metric.

In summary, while the scale can be a useful tool for tracking progress, it's essential to consider it alongside other measures of health and fitness. Body composition, energy levels, strength, and overall well-being are better indicators of progress and should be prioritized over the number on the scale alone.

Loooove the overall messaging and info about habit stacking. I think it'd be helpful to discuss layering in that new routine within a full working / school schedule too. :)
