Do you weigh yourself? Do you measure the inches lost? Do you take your body fat? How accurate are the devices you are using?
When I first started out as a trainer many years ago, I was taught to measure everything. Height, weight, circumference measurements from your calf to your neck, body fat, and flexibility.
The first thing that happened was that when I gave my clients their body fat percentage it ruined the rest of the session, not to mention the rest of their day.
These days when I see clients, I let the client decide what they want measured, but what I've found is this.
Most people want to look better and feel better about themselves. They want to be able to look in the mirror and see some muscle definition rather than flab. They want to fit into a smaller dress size, or for the guys go down a pants size.
My suggestion to you is have someone take a picture of you. Take a good look at where you are really at with your body. Don't beat yourself up, if things don't look as good as you'd like...this is only a starting point. Measure your waist, and ladies maybe the hips.
I don't encourage weighing on a scale. You can tell if you are losing weight because your clothes will be fitting better...don't get attached to weighing a certain number.
What I do for my clients is I set up a private page for their photos and measurements. You could do the same with a free account from blogger, and just keep it private. Once a month or so take a new picture of yourself, do your measurements, and check your progress. If you are moving in the desired direction then great. If not, what do you need to do?
You'll notice that I try to keep things pretty simple. You don't need to log on to a fancy pay site just to record this info.. In a couple of clicks you can record and compare your progress.
If I can be of any help, just let me know
