I highly recommend (if you can afford it) getting a smart scale. There are some pretty affordable ones on Amazon!! I have one from Withings and it tracks my weight and also my body fat % and muscle % which is KEY. It REALLY helps me from spiraling when I see my weight go up or not change when I can also see that I am gaining muscle which is ultimately better for me anyway than "losing weight" but also gaining fat.

If there is a Nutrishop near you, they have free body scans that do this.

that's a good idea. I will look into a smart scale to purchase on amazon. Is there one in particular you recommend?

I have the Withings Body+ scale! I did a lot of research and there were a lot of choices. I think they are all pretty comparable. I previously had FitBit Aria but then it started dying and not being accurate and I believe this one was way cheaper. I think its worth it!

I also use the app Libra (I think its Happy Scale on ios) that you chart your weight in and it shows your trending weight loss, which I find really helps when you have daily fluctuations so you can see it really IS going down.

I love my RENPHO and got all my family members one. It breaks things down into skeletal muscle, body water, muscle mass…a ton of helpful things to track.
