Today, we’re talking about something that confuses and frustrates so many women in perimenopause and menopause: the scale.

You might be doing everything “right” — eating well, moving your body, tracking macros — yet the number on the scale barely budges. Meanwhile, you know your clothes are fitting differently, your energy is shifting, and your body is changing in ways the scale just can’t capture.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged because the scale doesn’t seem to reflect your hard work, this episode is for you. We’re breaking down why your weight can stall even while you’re losing fat, what causes those “whoosh” moments, and how to track real progress that actually matters.

Today I cover:

- If you really can lose fat if the scale isn’t budging

- How to get the scale to work in your favour and stop the fluctuations
