‘Just a little reminder that scales don’t justify your success,’ she explained under the photo.
‘Here are two clear examples of how 70-71 kilos looks on me. Now I know I definitely would rather the right image.
‘Ignoring the physical differences, the way I feel internally, how strong and fit I feel, how alive I feel and my bodies overall health is incredibly better in the right image.’

‘I wanted to share it with you because I thought it could help someone out there working hard towards a goal,’ she said.
‘In three weeks I put on 200 grams of scale weight, put on 1.8 kilos of skeletal muscle mass, dropped 3.2 per cent body fat, dropped 2.2 kilos of pure fat and decreased my visceral fat level from 5 to level 3.’
Some of her 570,000 followers were astounded at how much her body could change in less than a month

‘Most women would kill for the first picture. You look amazing,’ one woman commented.
‘Love this!! It’s so true!! The scale doesn’t always reflect how much you’ve changed your body! I love that you put your actual weight too,’ another added.
‘So just remember you are running your own race, no one can compare to you and SCALE WEIGHT can not justify your success,’ Chontel finished her post.
