How do you verify the weight loss?

For all official weigh-ins, you'll be prompted to submit your official starting weight. Our standard weigh-in process involves you submitting 2 photos: one of you standing on a scale in lightweight clothing (no shoes, hats, belts, watches, coats, or outerwear), and another of the scale’s readout with your weigh-in word written on a piece of paper.

What you'll need

  • A scale (preferably digital)
  • A digital camera or smartphone
  • A full-length mirror or someone to take your photo

  • I know we all have big goals for this diet bet, but I also want you to know that small weight fluctuations up and down are normal in the short term. It breaks my heart when people beat themselves up over what the scale says from one day to the next! You are made up of more than muscle and fat!!! It may have nothing to do with either.

    A pound of fat is 3500 calories. Which is why we create small caloric deficits everyday that eventually add up to a pound lost. Easier said than done but that’s another topic.

    If I gain 2 lbs since the day before, that means I would have needed to eat 7,000 calories above maintenance for that to be fat. Assuming I could have processed and fully stored that fast. A little less than 11,000 calories for me! I’m not Michael Phelps! There’s no way!

    What could it be? Water, waste, inflammation, hormones, stress... there’s so many metabolic processes that your body goes through during the day. It’s a dynamic system, constantly changing. So you can’t expect weight loss in a straight line. Take a deep breath and let go of that kind of pressure.

    If you feel like you are stuck and it’s been a longer time period, I promise the answer is in your nutrition! This is a long term learning process, don’t be afraid to change something up and find what works!

    And yes this is my weight. I typically think of my weight as a range instead of one number. If I see anything between 137 and 142 I know I am maintaining a good balance.

Thank you so much for this post, I needed this today! The first week I lost four lbs then this week I am back up three lbs. I am losing inches and my eating has been the same, only change is water intake this past week hasn’t been as much. I am definitely getting discouraged.

Thank you for explaining it this way. We would love if you can share with us how you structure your day nutrition-wise and what types of food you personally eat. It’s easy to read about it, but seeing someone who’s doing great share their reality is always helpful! Not to copy, because we’re all different, but as an example. Thank you!
