I'm at the point where I just don't weigh myself in the second half of my cycle. Everything after ovulation is weight gain. I chose to believe the lightest weights that I see before ovulation!!! 🙂 Thanks for the content, Jordan!
Omg thank you!!!! I literally gain almost 10 lbs before my period!!! Which to me is insane! Imagine going from 122-132 in a few days while changing nothing 😢
Same!!!! I got my period 2 days before my doctors appointment and I was feeling really good about my weight, how my clothes were fitting, etc…. Until I stepped on their scale at the office 😩 I allowed it to ruin the rest of my day but the next day I reminded myself of what Jordan is talking about, got myself up off the couch and back to life so to speak LOL
I love the idea that you only compare the weight monthly. That idea that you are looking for a trend is so helpful for me with consistency. When you start to see a consistent downward trend, it gives motivation to keep going! Great points in the video about why daily fluctuations shouldn’t throw you off completely!!
Thank you for this video. I sent it to my mom, who is a habitual scale user.. and I mean hourly on the day to day. I've thrown mine out and just use a tape because that darn scale anxiety causes me to want to binge. Super glad to have someone with your blunt knowledge on here.
Can't tell you how much I needed this and how grateful I am for you. I've definitely been in the habit of comparing today's weigh-in with the same day from last week for years now and it can feel disheartening to see the scale go up. Thank you, Jordan for reminding me to chill tf out and not get so bogged down by the numbers. Respect. ✊
I 100% used to jump on the scale 4-6 times a day, fully undressed, just to see "how things I did affected my weight" the same way you did in this video buttttt I really believed it was actually showing me my "progress." I guess I deep-down knew it was crap because I would shut the door and be as quiet as possible so my husband didn't hear me because I didn't want him to judge the amount of times I was stepping on the scale (or ask me whyyyy I was undressing completely every time I used the bathroom!" I now have a healthy relationship with the scale and number in general because of you and other online fitness people DOING THE GOOD THINGS!
My weight fluctuated so much and only after following you I realised that it's super normal. Depending on water, food, stress, activity, hormones.. Lol, thanks to you, I stopped worrying about it and started to focus on goals and foods that make me feel good.
Hi Jordan! I have been a silent subbie but I have been appreciative of your videos for a while! They are always so encouraging-I would love to be a part of the inner circle! I have recently started my fitness journey.. for maybe the 15th time of my life. I have done keto, paleo, low carb, raw till 4, vegan, liquid fasting, water fasting! It’s crazy and has taken such a toll on me ..BUT I am determined that this time will be different! I am almost down 30 pounds! But I think I was meant to find this video because the scale has been mentally hurting me tbh.. this video came at just the right time 🙏🏼
The scale is such a useful tool, but it's so important to not SOLELY focus on it. How are those jeans fitting? That shirt fitting? Have your lifts been increasing? I've gone down maybe 5 pounds over the last 8 weeks which may not seem like much, but my size 10 jeans are feeling more loose, and the amount I have been weight lifting has steadily been increasing. I've also been able to enjoy my kids birthdays and family time/dinners. Stellar content, as always 🤙
This video was so awesome!! Having you do the visual was great so thank you for that. It's hard sometimes to accept this but it's true! Another great video and explanation. Thank you!
Mind blowing. I love your content. Now I have to go back and look at my trends. I know that since the beginning of November my weight has fluctuated in a 3 pound range.
This just literally opened my eyes to how to really see a real picture of my progress. Thank you for breaking it down with real life examples!! I.e. the stock market and book. I’m excited to see the trends now!
I thought this would be just chronicling your day & weigh-ins but I was pleasantly surprised to receive your little tidbits of information about weight-gain\loss factors/influences. Thanks!
Thank you for this Jordan! There have been mornings where a weigh-in set the tone for the day.... some good, some bad. PS: That baby of yours is ADORABLE!
This is SO helpful!! So many people obsess over tiny fluctuations..this is so great to realize that it's SO NORMAL and our bodies will never be the exact same number!! Thanks Jordan!
The amount of quality content you put out for free is incredible. I’m so appreciative of this content. And you are helping me with my journey. Thank you thank you!! Oh and… your baby is too cute.
Loved this video! This is part of the huge issue i have with WW lifetime membership. It gives you 2lbs of leeway from your “goal weight”. Keep up the great work- educating people one video at a time
This is super helpful, I am a recovering scale addict but I really like the advice of comparing month to month because even week to week makes me a little nutty!
Definitely love you doing these relevant and necessary videos to show people logic and reason. If you put a pound of water in your body, surprise, a pound of weight on the scale!
Thank you for this informative video! Definitely some golden nuggets to keep in mind. The scale can be very discouraging sometimes but I like what you shared about the month to month comparison.
Your insights have been a game-changer for me! I used to stress about the scale, but your advice has shifted my perspective. Now, I'm focusing on overall well-being and feeling great. Thanks a lot!
Love this video. I'm no longer obsessed with the scale changes from day to day or within the day. This video gave me confirmed for me several reasons why I should continue to disregard fluctuations on the scale. And I love the tip on how to use the scale properly. I cannot wait to try it. 😅
THIS!!!! We need more of this!!!! And your video regarding blood sugar lol.... These videos are going to help people significantly. Weight fluctuations/ the scale are one of the biggest stumbling blocks for a lot of people.... You are changing lives and I thank you for that!!!! 😊😊😊
This video has a perfect timing to me, cause I’m tracking my weight, nutrition and working out on the last 2 weeks better than what I’ve ever done it since I’m at the IC, and sometimes it’s just hard not being emotionally attached to the scale. Thanks Jordan
I appreciate all of your knowledge and insight, as this has been an issue I have struggled with for quite sometime. Your knowledge and presentations are so spot on! Thank you.
This was well timed to drop into my inbox!! I know weight fluctuates for many reasons and currently I am going through a high stress time in my relationship. I am tracking and weighing and have had my weight spike up by a kilo randomly a couple of times and it is hard not to let it bother you even though I know for sure it's not fat gain! Watching this has really helped remind me all the reasons and to look month on month...thank you Jordan 😊😊
its actually crazy how much the scale weight changes hour to hour & day to day, and emphasises how important it is to try and move away from having an emotional connection to our scale weight. Its just a number, a tool etc
Such an interesting video Jordan! Thank you for everything that you do! Have followed you for a long time now and you have single handedly changed my perception about many things 😁
This is such a great insight! I have body-checked a lot, and noticed the difference/fluctuation from first thing in the AM to last thing PM but never realised how much variation there could be within the day! Thanks also for the tips on how to use the scale effectively to understand the long-term trend, this is such useful info.
Love this and need to share with others that get hung up on the scale. Since I am in maintenance and don't have much to lose or gain; when we have a gym competition, I try to eat the same thing the day before at the beginning and the end.
Thank you for this. Just yesterday I stepped on the scale and saw the highest weight I’ve seen. 10 min later I stepped on a different scale and weighed 3 lbs lighter, then about an hour later I stepped on again a different scale and now weighed .5 lb more. It’s all over the place and I’m getting back into every day tracking on the same scale at the same time so I can do monthly trends not daily trends. Which is hard and I don’t know how well I’ll do. But I’m going to try
Really helpful, especially chatting about salt holding water. Now I know ahead of time I may weigh heavier the next day I am armed with that knowledge 😊
Thank you for this! I am always struggling with the scale. It’s just so discouraging and trying to un-program my mind to think this is bad has been such a challenge for me.
I used to be super affected by a weight change on the scale...until I tracked weight daily and learned about fluctuations, absolute game changer for my mental state. The scale lost its hold on me. I started tracking trends and averages, exit scale stress 🙌 I now find it fascinating seeing how daily life can affect it.
As someone who used to weigh myself several times a day this is like a horrible flashback for me. I’m a once a day weigh in person now….pre food/water/exercise. And about 4 months ago I reached the point where I’m no longer attaching emotions to that number on the scale. Big mind shift for me and has been a great realization.
Thank you for this . I have learned so much from you. Thank you for all the reminders. I was avoiding the scale for the last few weeks. I think 🤔 do better weighing in daily and like you suggest compare monthly. GO IC!!!
Been following you for the past 6 years and constantly looking for your stories to be updated. Thank you for the video and your passion to help people achieve their goals! I would also like to thank you for informing me about cortisol and weight, ever since I watched your other video on "The Science of Weight fluctuations" I have been trying to relax my nervous system so much more. I have anxiety so I'm constantly worried but I now try to relax my anxiety and it's been really helping me live better. Thanks Jordan :)
Excellent content Jordon !! Great info as most people only look at the scale and if has gone up in ruins their day!! Seeing these examples is very useful and makes your point very valid !!
This is such a great informative video and really helped me understand daily fluctuations. Thanks for all your help! I watch your videos often and have really made great progress in my fitness goals! I’m down 15 pounds and now I don’t get frustrated when my weight goes up a little bit! Thanks Jordan!

That book reference was it for me. You always make it so simple to understand
Love this video and I really am glad you explained the cortisol dynamic.
So many people get so hung up on cortisol making you fat.😩
I love how sensible and researched your advice is!
This video was so awesome!! Having you do the visual was great so thank you for that. It's hard sometimes to accept this but it's true! Another great video and explanation. Thank you!
Love the way you explain and show things to people. This is helpful for anyone obsessed with scale weight.
Mind blowing. I love your content. Now I have to go back and look at my trends. I know that since the beginning of November my weight has fluctuated in a 3 pound range.
So good! This is something I’ve learned from your insta and I don’t freak out about weight changes anymore
This just literally opened my eyes to how to really see a real picture of my progress. Thank you for breaking it down with real life examples!! I.e. the stock market and book.

Love this demonstration of how daily life impacts the scale. And the discussion of how to use the scale in a healthy manner. Thank you

Thanks Jordan, very informative for all of us who fear/hate the scale ❤
This is super helpful, I am a recovering scale addict but I really like the advice of comparing month to month because even week to week makes me a little nutty!
Thank you! Great content to help with those feelings of failure!
Thanks! This is so encouraging to see. I know it but it’s hard to remember when that scale is reading more.
As a visual learner, it really helps to see this rather than read it online or on paper and try to figure out whats happening.
Definitely love you doing these relevant and necessary videos to show people logic and reason. If you put a pound of water in your body, surprise, a pound of weight on the scale!
So hard not to focus on the scale fluctuations. Definitely a helpful video.
Nice tip on how to compare weigh-ins (month to month)… Helps make more sense out of all that data.
Omg! The book and chapter comparison is brilliant!! As a big reader this was speaking to me 😊
Such practical commonsense advice that we need reminding of every now and then. Love the menstrual chat. Thanks
Thank you for this informative video! Definitely some golden nuggets to keep in mind. The scale can be very discouraging sometimes but I like what you shared about the month to month comparison.
🎉 on point as always!! Excellent education for free, all day, everyday! Bring it Jord!!
I Love this! All your content confirms my inner knowing. Thank you. It has empowered me in the choices I make with food.

I would love to be part of your inner circle! Thank you so much for putting out all this amazing content I’m always learning from you

This is great info! I definitely over analyze the scale!
Appreciate this so much!! Needed the reminder today! 🎉
Thank you for this. Saving to show clients ❤
In the fat loss video, you had a top six, where does water fit in that list? Calorie deficit, protein, fiber, sleep, walking, strength training.
Very informative information, it all makes sense! Thank you for the tips after the 12 minute mark!
So interesting! I'm glad to finally use the scale as only one metric!
Needed this video so much. I find your information so helpful and relatable. Thank you.
I swear you read my mind sometimes when these links pop into my email
Great info for everyone to understand! I appreciate the education you are trying to get out there.
Such an interesting video Jordan! Thank you for everything that you do! Have followed you for a long time now and you have single handedly changed my perception about many things 😁

Most useful aspect was learning about when to weigh in. Thanks !
Thank you for being so real! It really helps me!!!
Love your content. You make it very easy to understand
Great video! I’ll have to watch this video every so often to remind me of the fluctuations when down on myself. 😊
Love how you explain everything and the reasoning for things. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us
Anyone else feel like Jordan always talks to your soul with how his honest attention to you is during his videos?
I absolutely love this video. Thank you for this!
Such great information Jordan! Wow very eye opening.
I used to be super affected by a weight change on the scale...until I tracked weight daily and learned about fluctuations, absolute game changer for my mental state. The scale lost its hold on me. I started tracking trends and averages, exit scale stress 🙌 I now find it fascinating seeing how daily life can affect it.
Thank you for this. Never worrying about fluctuations anymore

You’re the best Jordan !! Thank you for helping me get better relationship with the scale & food !
Thank you so much for your awesome content Jordan! So informative and practical. You have helped me so much on this journey
I love the way how you explain everything!!! It make everything so simple!! Thank you!!!
Love this video.. It’s can be easy to get bogged down by the scale. Thanks for the great content
Bless your soul, sir.
This is amazing. I knew you could alter your weight by various things you do, but not by so much weight!
i want to be in IC haha. but this really helped a lot most especially the salty food and water retention.
Excellent content Jordon !! Great info as most people only look at the scale and if has gone up in ruins their day!! Seeing these examples is very useful and makes your point very valid !!
super interesting!! thanks for this video!
This is such a great informative video and really helped me understand daily fluctuations. Thanks for all your help! I watch your videos often and have really made great progress in my fitness goals! I’m down 15 pounds and now I don’t get frustrated when my weight goes up a little bit! Thanks Jordan!
When I started my fitness journey I weighed in every morning. I now have an amazing graph showing an amazing plunging trend.
Thanks for this video
Hey Jordon can you do a video on 1 buzz ball a day and show weight loss. That would be fun
Thank you so much for this content! This is so helpful for us to not get hung up on the scale!
Jordan, I hope you can see this, I have 2 weighing scales but it shows two different readings
I really needed this--especially right before Thanksgiving. Thank you for all you do!
This is so good Jordan. Thanks!
Great information! Thanks Jordan.
Definitely needed this today! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for all you do!!! You have helped me so much you have no idea what a huge impact you are!!❤❤❤
Great video like always! Wondering if a female trainer has done something like this on IG, RUclips or any other platform.
It's just insane to me how the body fluctuates. It never seizes to amaze me. Also, my god you have an adorable little babe.
Jeez, thank you for this!
