Not seeing the number you want on the scale? Don't panic!

Non-scale victories are progress not related to a number on the scale that helps us see the bigger picture and stay inspired.

Try this!

Think of three things that have changed in the past month, not including the number on the scale.

Let’s dive a little deeper...

1. Think of three things (other than your weight) that have changed in the past month. What healthy habits have you adopted?

2. What impact did each of these have on you? Maybe you’ve learned how to cook, which has helped you enjoy healthier, fresher meals.

3. Reflect on the big picture. How does it feel celebrating these non-scale victories (NSVs in WW speak)? How is that different from when you only focus on the scale?

4. Decide how you’ll remind yourself to pay attention to NSVs on your journey forward.
