1. Body Measurements

Muscle is denser than fat. You can lose 5lbs of fat and gain 5lbs of muscle. The scale says "0 change." The mirror says "Wow."
Fitblues lets you track Waist, Hips, Arms, Chest, Thighs. If your waist is shrinking and arms are growing, you are winning.

2. Progress Photos

Fitblues has a secure "Photo Gallery." Take photos monthly in the same lighting/pose. The visual changes are undeniable proof.

3. Strength Standards

Are you stronger than last month? If yes, you built muscle. Period. The "Strength Graph" in Fitblues Analytics is your best friend.

4. Clothing Fit

Are your jeans looser? Is your t-shirt tighter on the sleeves? This is the real world test.

5. Energy/Mood

Do you feel better? Can you play with your kids without getting winded?

Conclusion

Don't let a number on a plastic box dictate your self-worth. Look at the big picture with Fitblues Data.
