The scale is not a good measure of what you are losing or how you are losing. There is a big difference in losing fat or losing muscle and water. If you want to lose weight the right way do it with a doctor who can watch you appropriately to make sure you are not losing muscle but building muscle. Sometimes you might get on the scale after eating appropriately all week and exercising appropriately all week and still not lose a pound, maybe even gain a pound. But with the right doctor and the right scale, he might be able to tell you that you gained 3 pounds of muscle and lost two pounds of fat so you actually did very well that week. However, if you got on the scale at home you would feel frustrated and dejected because you would feel like you gained weight not understanding that you actually lost bad weight and gained good muscle.
