Is Your Weight Ideal?
The Ideal Body Weight Chart is a great benchmark to gage where you are in comparison to the weight standards that have been setforth. This is, in all fairness, a ball park figure of where your weight should be. Therefore, it is right to presume that your weight can be slightly off from the pounds featured on the chart.
You should take into account muscle mass when reviewing the chart. Muscle weighs more than fat. This explains why some people who are smaller in appearance - weigh more!
Another factor to take into account is bone density and good ole genetics. :)
The scale can be discouraging, so don’t rely on it to determine your success. I think that it is reasonable to weigh yourself, but Not everyday or even every week. If not seeing the pounds melt away quickly enough deters you from continuing with your regimen daily weigh-ins should be avoided. Twice a month is more than enough.
