Stay Off that Scale

I have a confession.

I'm overweight.

This is me at 5 2 and 150 pounds.

I’m overweight according to the BMI scale

l can run a mile and a half in 11 minutes

I can hip thrust 205 pounds.

So clearly I'm a person that is not out of shape.

Scholarly sources everywhere have proved time and time again that the BMI is just not accurate in this day and age.

In fact, it wasn't even created with us in mind.

The major issue with it is it does not account for muscle mass so, you could be 150 pounds of pure muscle

or you be 150 pounds of fat. Which is why I think it's so important when you start in your fitness journey,

stay off that scale.

Focus on how you look.

Focus on you feel .

Document your changes with pictures and enjoy the journey <3
