How Body Composition Tracking Keeps You Motivated | Total Health and Fitness / The progress that can show up before the scale moves
"This offsetting pattern is also why losing weight fast is not automatically good news. If a chunk of what you lose is muscle, you have made the next stage harder. We dug into that trade-off in losing weight or losing muscle. None of this is a promise that your scan will show a particular pattern on a particular timeline. Bodies differ, and results depend on the person. The point is that when change is happening, tracking lets you see it instead of guessing."
