Episode 611: Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss – Why the Scale Is Lying to You

You’re eating better, moving more — but the scale won’t budge. Sound familiar?
In this episode of Candidly with Coffee, we’re breaking down the difference between weight loss and fat loss, and why relying on the scale alone is one of the biggest mistakes midlife women make. From hormones and body composition to water retention and muscle gain, the number on the scale rarely tells the full story.

What you’ll learn:
✔️ Why the scale can be misleading, especially during body recomposition
✔️ How fat loss shows up in photos, clothes, and strength — not just pounds
✔️ The mindset shift needed to stop obsessing over goal weight
✔️ How small untracked bites and “kind of consistent” habits sabotage progress
✔️ Why chasing a number leads to burnout — and what to focus on instead

If the scale is making you feel like a failure, this episode is your reality check. It’s time to shift your focus to what really matters — how you feel, look, and live.
