Why Your Weight Might Not Drop—But Your Body Is Changing
One month.
That’s all it took for the transformation to begin —without obsessing over the scale. Here’s what our latest InBody scan results show for members who tested in both January and February:
⚖️ Body fat is down 16 pounds
⚖️ Muscle is up 10 pounds
⚖️Total weight is down just 5 pounds
Wait… what? More muscle, way less fat, but only a 5-pound difference on the scale?
That’s body recomposition in action. And it’s exactly what we coach at Agents of Change Personal Training.
The Scale Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story
Most people chase a number on the scale, thinking that if it’s not dropping fast, they aren’t making progress. But here’s the reality: when you follow a well-designed resistance training program and fuel your body correctly, you’re not just losing weight—you’re changing your entire body composition.
Fat takes up more space than muscle, so as you shed fat and build lean muscle, your physique tightens, your shape transforms, and you get that scuplted, toned look you desire.
That’s why our members feel stronger, move better, have more energy and their clothes fit better even if their weight hasn’t changed much or has even gone up a tick.
And that’s why we don’t let the scale define success or our self worth (guilty of this – 🙋🏻♀️ – and more to come on this topic in an upcoming blog post).
How We Get Results Like This
What makes these results possible? A strategic approach to resistance training and nutrition—not random workouts, not extreme dieting, and definitely not endless cardio.
Here’s how we coach it:
Resistance Training That Builds
• We focus on training in a way that continually challenges the muscles to grow, reshape, and strengthen.
• Our members lift weights with intentionality, not randomness. Every movement is designed for a purpose.
Eating to Support Muscle, Not Starve the Body
• We prioritize protein, because muscle needs the right fuel to grow.
• We balance macronutrients so the body sheds fat without sacrificing muscle.
• We ditch extreme dieting and create habits that fuel longevity.
Consistency Over Perfection
• One great workout won’t change your body—but stacking great workouts over time will.
• We train for the long game. Our members don’t just get results; they keep them.
What This Means for You
If you’ve been frustrated by the scale, it’s time to shift your focus. Ask yourself:
• Do I have more energy?
• Have I been consistent with my training and nutrition?
• Am I feeling stronger during my resistance training?
• Are my clothes fitting better?
These are the real indicators of progress. And if you’re not seeing them yet, stay consistent and give it more time.
And these results? They’re just the beginning.
