Description

If you've ever stepped on the scale and felt frustrated—even though your clothes fit better and you're feeling stronger—this episode is for you. We're breaking down one of the most misunderstood truths in fitness: muscle doesn't necessarily weigh more than fat, but it takes up way less space and makes a much bigger difference in how your body looks and feels.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why the scale doesn’t tell the full story of your progress

  • The real difference between muscle and fat (and why it matters)

  • How to measure success without obsessing over a number

  • What you should focus on instead of chasing weight loss

Whether your goal is to lose fat, build strength, or just feel better in your skin, this conversation will help you rethink the way you measure progress.

Challenge: Skip the scale for one week. Focus on how you feel, how your clothes fit, and the strength you're building.
