Tracking Mistakes & Scale Mind Games
In this week’s Learning Lab we dug into two issues almost everyone faces at some point: scale frustration and protein tracking. Michael shared how he’s dropped from 216 to 174 pounds while doing everything right—sleep, steps, workouts, tracking—yet still saw the scale tick up a pound. The reminder here is that a single pound doesn’t equal fat gain.
Christie asked if she could track protein without weighing food, and the answer is yes. Cups, spoons, photos, and the hand-portion method can all work if you use them consistently. The real win isn’t perfection—it’s consistency in whatever method you’ll actually stick with.
If Michael’s and Christie’s situations hit home, consider volunteering your own questions for a future Learning Lab. These sessions are most valuable when we break down real scenarios from members, because everyone gets to learn from them. If you’re open to on-air coaching—whether it’s about nutrition, training, or mindset—reach out to me directly or post in the discussion board. We’ll line up your topic for a future session so the whole community can benefit from your experience. And as always, keep sharing your wins, struggles, and questions in the group so we can continue building momentum together.
