Scale isn't moving on TRT even though my clothes fit looser?
I've been on TRT for two months and while my waist is shrinking and shoulders look broader, the bathroom scale hasn't budged an ounce. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
What you're experiencing is classic body recomposition, where optimized testosterone levels simultaneously burn visceral fat and build lean muscle tissue. Because muscle is significantly denser than fat, you can actively shrink down and drop clothing sizes while the scale refuses to move an ounce. Instead of relying solely on bathroom scales, track your progress using waist measurements, progress photos, and how your clothes fit. At HeydayMD, our clinical team helps you look beyond the scale during regular check-ins to ensure your TRT protocol is driving true metabolic health.
