Am I Really Losing Weight?

Losing fat is just like a sport - you need to keep score to know if you're making progress. How will you know how well you're doing if you don't measure yourself against something? The point is not to become a scales-slave. This will leave you hating what you see every time you step on them and losing focus on other more important things where your weight loss and fitness are concerned. You look at the scale in the morning, and just because of that extra 1-pound, you decide what's the point anyway? In that way, scales can detract you from achieving real results.
