Challenge stigma
Questioning assumptions about weight, health, intelligence, discipline and character.
Meet the founder
This started with one question.
Why are we teaching people to fear bodies?
Beyond the Scale was created to challenge weight stigma, body-based bullying and the idea that somebody's size can tell you their health, worth, habits or character.

Francesca Nicolaides founded Beyond the Scale to challenge the everyday messages that teach people their bodies determine what they deserve.
With experience working in school environments, Francesca has a particular interest in prevention and early education: helping young people recognise weight stigma, question harmful appearance pressures and build healthier, kinder ways of talking about bodies and food.
Beyond the Scale is built around a simple principle: you cannot tell someone's health, worth, habits or story by looking at their body.
We cannot prevent body shame while teaching people that some bodies are warnings.
