RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip: 

Are YOU scale obsessed (weighing yourself every day/multiple times a week)? If yes, STOP! If you're trying to get in-shape you should weigh once every two weeks, maximum once a week. First of all, the scale is NOT the measure of REAL progress, losing BODY FAT % is, because you CAN lose on the scale but not body fat % = you lost muscle/water weight. Other than body fat %, REAL signs of progress are also the things in the picture. More signs of REAL progress are your clothes fitting better, your blood pressure/blood sugar levels/pulse/other vitals improving, etc. Don't get discouraged if the scale isn't moving as fast as you want, REMEMBER, you didn't get out-of-shape overnight, so you won't get in-shape overnight either. Being healthy & fit takes PATIENCE, DEDICATION, and DETERMINATION.
