Today I’m going to break down some of the most popular ways you can measure progress.

BMI
BMI stands for Body Mass Index, which is defined as a formula used to estimate your body fat in proportion with your height. Once calculated, your BMI is compared to a table to help determine your weight range (underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese). A BMI between 18.5 to 25 is generally considered to be within the healthy weight range.

Weight
Measuring your weight with a set of scales is an easy way to track your progress at home, but it does have its flaws. A basic set of bathroom scales can’t determine whether you have actually lost fat or overall mass (which may include water). You should weigh yourself only once a week!

Waist size
Measuring your waist size can help estimate the amount of visceral fat, or the fat distribution within your torso. Many health professionals use a combination of BMI and waist size to determine whether their patient fits in the healthy weight range.

As a general indicator, the theory says your waist should be less than half of your height measurement. So, someone that is 170cm tall should have a waist size smaller than 85cm.

Progress Photos
I recommend taking full-body progress photos every four weeks. Progress photos can help show visible changes, which don’t always translate on the scales! Photos can also be a great motivator, keeping you on track to achieve your fitness goals. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. I also need to add, this is by far my FAVOURITE way of keeping track of progress. You can be surprised just how many small changes occur in your body, that you miss because you see yourself daily in a mirror. This is especially a good way to measure change for those people who haven't seen a shift in the scales - a photo can prove just how far you have come.
