How to Track Your Progress without the Scale

You are not a number.

Here are other ways to tell if your body composition is improving:

1. Measurements
   Use a tape measure and keep track of your chest, waist, hips and thighs. If those numbers go down, it means your weight and/or bodyfat is going down.
   

2. Strength in the gym
   Track your lifts to see if the weight and/or reps are increasing. Getting stronger usually indicates that you’re gaining muscle.
   

3. Biofeedback (sleep, energy, mood)
   When you’re sleeping well, have good energy and you’re not moody (ie, hangry), odds are that you’re eating a good amount of food for your goals. If any of these are impacted, you may be eating too little.
   

4. Unsolicited compliments
   If your friends and family ask if you’ve lost weight or take notice of your muscle definition, you’re on the right track.
   

5. Body fat (calipers, Dexa, Inbody)
   Measuring bodyfat is much more indicative of your body changing. Weight loss could be water, but bodyfat going down means you’ve lost bodyfat. Use calipers, Dexa or Inbody for a more accurate reading than your scale.
   

6. How your clothes fit
   Notice that your clothes are a bit looser? Maybe it’s because you’re shrinking! Clothing is a great indicator that you’re on the right path.
   

7. Progress pics
   Take pictures every 2-3 weeks and you’ll definitely notice any changes that you may not see day to day.

All of these are great options to track and monitor your progress. Be sure to add these pieces and do not let the scale define your progress!
