Track Your Weight Loss Progress

• 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 1lb a week so that you can easily exceed it and keep highly motivated.
