You must have seen people weighing themselves on a weighing
scale now and then, just to make sure that they are losing weight and are going
in the right direction.
But what if I say, the weighing scale is not the only
indication of your weight loss. Yes, many other signs help you to know about
the weight loss journey.
Losing weight for the first three-four weeks is quite easier as
compared to the later weeks. The body loses its water weight much faster than
that of its bone weight. You might have experienced that the weighing scale
showed a continuous dip in your weight during the initial days of your diet and the exercise which kept you going, but there comes a stage when the weighing scale
stops working in your favour, which lets you down and in turn, you start losing
your hope.
Instead of losing your hope, you should check out the other
signs that will be helpful for you to know about your weight loss. This blog will cover 7 different signs of losing weight so let's start.
