Body Comp v Scale?

Did you know that muscles make up 40-50% of your body weight?  What about the fact that they are comprised of 72% water, 20% protein, and 8% minerals, glycogen, & triglycerides?  Did you read the post on Greater Muscle Mass = Higher Metabolism?  Do you realize that a pound of lean muscle not only drives your metabolism but takes up far less space in your body than fat?  So your scale didn't move!!!  How do your clothes fit?  Wouldn't you rather be healthier and in smaller clothes than the scale going down at a fast rate?  Really???  Personally, I'd rather be 10 lbs heavier than folks would ever know and in smaller clothes than 20 lbs less than folks would ever guess because I'm in larger clothes.  That's right, if you are "dieting" and/or over exercising you could very well be ticking down on the scale but your clothes not fitting much better and certainly not in smaller sizes because you are not losing the fat.  Get over what the scale says and go by the tape measure!
