How to measure for weight loss?

I'm starting a new diet and exercise plan for weight loss, and I want to track my progress accurately. Besides the scale, what other ways can I measure for weight loss to see real results?

I love my food too much to check the scale daily, it just ruins my mood before breakfast! I prefer measuring progress by how comfortable my favorite kurtas feel around the waist after a week of eating light. It's much more satisfying than numbers.

Actually, weighing scale weight fluctuates so much because of salt intake or water, yaar. Best is to buy a simple tailor tape and measure your waist at the belly button level once a week. It keeps things real.

In our times, we never had these electronic scales or apps. We simply noticed how energetic we felt while climbing stairs and working in the garden. Trust your stamina and digestion; they are the truest measures of good health.

For me, tracking inches worked way better than tracking kilograms. I used to measure my waist, hips, and arms every Sunday morning before breakfast. It helped me stay motivated even when the scale didn't budge.

When I did my annual checkup at Apollo, the physician advised tracking the waist-to-hip ratio rather than just body weight. Ask your doctor clearly about your target fat percentage and let them guide you with professional clinical measurements.
