I use waist measurements, body fat %, how my clothes fit, and how strong I am getting. PRs are awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-gauge-your-fitness-progress-if-you-dont-use-a-scale#post-1762336 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 12:10:17 +0000 edelweiss 1762336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't own a scale and try not to weigh myself--it's bad for my head. also, when i work out and gain muscle, i'm not happy about the growing number on the scale. i go by how my clothes fit and how i feel overall (energy, knowing that i've been eating healthy, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-gauge-your-fitness-progress-if-you-dont-use-a-scale#post-1762304 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:59:05 +0000 snowjewelz 1762304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. How my pants fit, since my waist is usually where I gain weight</p> <p>2. If I'm working out, if I am progressively doing harder workouts, more reps, heavier weights, etc... </p> <p>The only time I step on a scale is at the doctor's! I never pay attention to the # b/c it fluctuates so much for so many reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-gauge-your-fitness-progress-if-you-dont-use-a-scale#post-1762303 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:58:32 +0000 Honeydew 1762303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gauge my progress on how clothes fit and how I feel about my endurance level.</p> <p>Muscle also weighs more than fat, so the scale should never matter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-gauge-your-fitness-progress-if-you-dont-use-a-scale#post-1762277 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:51:53 +0000 Lindsay05 1762277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much easier everyday activities are. Postpartum I could barely walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded. Now I can walk/run up a flight of stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-gauge-your-fitness-progress-if-you-dont-use-a-scale#post-1762257 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:41:18 +0000 Sammyfab 1762257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How my clothes fit is my #1 indicator. I should take measurements but I don't like getting hung up on numbers (although these are a much better indicator of progress than weight).</p> <p>I think everyone should throw out their scales!!! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-gauge-your-fitness-progress-if-you-dont-use-a-scale#post-1762252 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:37:15 +0000 Mamaof2 1762252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By how my clothes fit for sure! I do weigh myself but if my clothes aren't tight it doesn't bother me as much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-gauge-your-fitness-progress-if-you-dont-use-a-scale#post-1762172 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:16:39 +0000 autumnlove 1762172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just by how your clothes fit, how you look in a mirror, how you feel? </p>
