The scale is very overrated. It tells a story but not the whole picture Weight doesn’t give you the breakdown of muscle and fat The goal is to lose fat not weight. You can lose 10 pounds but if it’s all muscle you are actually in a worse position. If you are getting stronger, then keep going.

The scale is overrated if you're not using it as only one piece in the puzzle of your broader goals and objectives* If you have your macros dialed in + have a consistent training schedule, the scale can be a helpful tool if used properly (weighing same time every morning after a deposit on the throne)

It’s 1 number in a world of hundreds of numbers You wouldn’t judge someone on 1% of their body of work Don’t let that 1 number define you

So true the weight scale is a very limiting tool. Also, not all fat is the same, visceral fat seems to be very bad. That in mind, I get a DEXA to confirm I’m losing visceral fat.

Totally agree, but the problem IMO is that a scale is ubiquitous and easy to use. Have you found anything that works as easily for estimating body fat? Most of the scales w/ sensors built in vary widely. Skin flap calipers are tricky to use consistently as well. Other suggestions?

By what method would you lose 10lbs of muscle but no fat? I know what you're saying but this is very misleading. Losing weight, unless you're single digit bodyfat already, or doing an EXTREME cut, would be mostly fat loss. Muscle loss is extremely minimal. Even if you do lose muscle, it comes back very easily
