- Despite the scale's ease of use, It only measures total body weight; it does not account for changes in body fat or muscle, and it does not indicate where the fat is located. Therefore:
- Don't rely solely on one tool to determine your weight. You may be losing fat while gaining muscle, but your overall body weight may be nearly unchanged.
- To see if you are losing fat weight from your abdomen, monitor your progress using body composition analysis and by taking waist circumference measures using a tape.
