Weigh in every morning, before I start lifting and go to the gym

Consistency in early morning in weigh-ins. Consistency in diet. Consistency in exercise. Consistency in sleep. Consistency in everything I'm doing now. Generally speaking, my weight doesn't significantly change from day to day, unless it's from hydration. Per my smart scale, my hydration hasn't significantly changed over the past 7 days...frankly not much of a change since I started using it. Over the past 4-6 weeks since I started using it, my lowest value was 46.8%, and my highest value was 49.3%. Hydration saturation is showing being up 1.5% over the last four days, and up 0.5% over the last 7 days, so I'm pretty sure the 4.2 lbs lost probably isn't water weight loss.

Enlightening seeing results of a calorie deficit diet using a smart scale.

While in a caloie deficit you will almost inevitably also lose muscle mass.

I never suggested your smart scale wasn't accurately measuring your weight
JoesterVT • 06/26/25 12:40 PM ET

If I was making these, I would have them report 'years of life increased'

I don't believe the smart scale works the way you think it works...
JoesterVT • 06/26/25 11:34 AM ET
They claim 98% accuracy, so that's more than good enough for me.
EDGEMAN • 06/26/25 11:45 AM ET

I spelled out exactly where their study was located on their website.

You didn't gain 3 pounds of skeletal muscle mass in 3 days.
