Track Your Weight Loss
Progress
By Fiona Gordon
|
• Reward yourself regularly, (don't use food as a reward)
buy a new outfit; get a new hair style, even if it's just a
grin of approval in the mirror.
• Don't weigh yourself every day. Instead, get on the weight
scales once a week to avoid discouragement.
• Instead of obsessing over your weight, keep track of your
waist measurement, body fat percentage or clothing size.
• Have 2 pieces of clothing to help you track your progress.
! That's way too tight and one that fits perfectly at the
start of your diet. Try them on every 4 weeks.
• Create a small graph like the one below with one line that
shows your weekly target progress and the other that shows
your actual progress. Make your target progress very
realistic, say 2 kilos a month so that you can easily exceed
it and keep highly motivated.
