Jen is wearing a blue jersey and black helmet, smiling into the camera as she's stopped on the side of the trail on her mountain bike. The episode title is in sky blue font on a white background.

This episode is geared mostly towards folks looking at body weight because they’re seeking fat loss, but it’s applicable to everyone! I see my athletes and even myself freak out a bit over scale weight fluctuations even though they’re feeling better and feeling a difference in themselves in some capacity. The scale plays tricks on the mind!

In this episode, I talk about other progress metrics you can focus on besides the number on the scale, especially if the scale can be triggering for you.🎧
