Checking Progress Healthy weight loss should be gradual. Only weigh once a week at the same time of day - Chart your weight changes on a weight graph to help you see progress. Measure your waist, thighs, chest, hips and upper arms and record inches lost through diet and exercise. Write down realistic diet and exercise goals each week. Most of all don't get discouraged.
Slow change can lead to permanent change.
