Your scale doesn’t tell the whole story

For many of us, checking our weight on the bathroom scale can be anxiety-producing. While knowing your weight is important, Leslie Heinberg, PhD, Director of Enterprise Weight Management, says it’s also important to realize that sometimes the scale isn’t always telling the whole story.

“The scale is a horrible barometer of behavior change,” says Dr. Heinberg. “You can do everything right today — you can exercise, you can have great intake that really would make any dietitian thrilled — but then you get on the scale, and you’re up 2 pounds.”
