This chart is just one of hundreds of body measurement resources to track your own improvement.
The home scale might be better in the trash can than in our bathroom or bedroom. Doing body measurements once per month can help avoid the emotional roller-coaster of gross weight fluctuations.
If you follow the healthy habits most days, you will grow stronger and your mental health will be more serene.
Please read all of yesterday's NSVs and the majority are a testimony to the truth of the statement above.
Thank you to everyone who shared your Non-Scale-Victories.
If you have not yet shared your story, I encourage you to do so in today's post.
Thank you

truth: I untangled myself from daily weighing last summer. I really REALLY do not miss it.
But I have to say that in order to maintain you have to have metrics you track. I watch my calories in and measurements. My waist is the biggest give away and as long as it stays the same and my clothes fit well I feel quite happy about it all. 5 -

This was a question from @MrsHoffer from yesterday.Mrs_Hoffer wrote: »TerriRichardson112 wrote: »NSV: My scale continues to show that my body fat %age is falling, my body muscle %age is rising, and my BMI puts me in the normal range for my age and height.
@TerriRichardson112 This is terrific news! Can I ask what scale do you have? I'm just wondering how does the scale know muscle mass % from body fat %? I think I'd like to get one of those scales!
This is my scale. The label is on the bottom of the scale.
I treated myself to this analyser scale when I hit my 40 lb goal. You can program it with age/ gender/height/activity level for up to 6 people. It automatically identifies the user and displays weight, then cycles through the other stats. It weighs in either kg/lbs, and analyses body fat, water, and muscle %age, and bone weight. It gives your BMI and Recommended TDEE (daily calories)

Really frustrating day, but rather insignificant compared to what some of my friends on here have to deal with. Thinking of you, @Mrs_Hoffer and @lesdarts180.
Through my employer I got the opportunity to get vaccinated today. However, I would have to go to Toulon, a 3-hour train journey from Montpellier where I live. I thought it would be worth it, as otherwise I won't qualify until end of April / beginning of May, so I booked tickets, cancelled appointments for today. Then yesterday Astra Zeneca vaccination was suspended in France, so I frantically phoned and emailed my employers, to find out what was happening.
Finally got email this morning, saying No, vaccinations going ahead. Rushed to catch my train, 3-hour trip, only to find vaccinations had been cancelled, so went home again, 3 hours. Got home, to an email from employers saying "Where are you?" as my appointment was in the Military clinic next to the main hospital. I had shown my appointment slip with all the details to at least three people at the main hospital. So, here I am, spent all day travelling to and from a vaccination I didn't get ...
On the positive side, I walked to the hospital in Toulon, spurned the bus, beautiful sunny day, 15 minutes each way (uphill one way!), so 30 minutes, + 2 x 5 minutes home to station = total 40 minutes walking.
Stayed under calories, tracked. @MadisonMolly20179 -
@Chinkiri that must be the worst waste of a day. I only had to drive 20 minutes to the local racecourse for my jab. I do hope you get another chance soon.2

Second day of being in control of what I eat. And I mean that. Macros still quite good. 👍
Lots of calories left. Almost all exercise calories - this includes 1h of walking (lunchtime w kids, in the evening w hubs) and a HIIT workout wirh Heather Robertson.
Hugs to those of us going thru hard times 🤗.2 -
To jump into the scale conversation I have the Fitbit aria and it does weight BMI and lean vs fat percents. Never have had trouble with it either
All three done today5 -

@Chinkiri Ugh, I am sorry that sounds so frustrating! I'm glad you were able to get some sun and your walk in though.
I use the app Progress to track my measurements. It's nice as it tallies how much you've lost in each area. I'm using the free version, though, so it only lets you track 6 areas.
Exercise: Yes (Hills & HIIT intervals 30, light arms 10)
Calories: Yes
Tracked: Yes5 -
Exercise? No. Super busy day and my sons bday dinner tonight. I have no energy left. :-(
Calories? Yes
Tracking? Yes
I’m sad to say that’s pass day 3/3. I’m not going to give up but I am disappointed...7
