Measure Your Success
To stay on target, track your progress from the very beginning. Use these four easy steps to get going, then chart your progress once a week after that.
Start now and you’ll be on your way!
Step 1 – Height
Record your height without shoes, standing on a flat surface, with your chin level and facing straight ahead. You will only need to take this measurement one time!
Step 2 – Weight
Weigh yourself wearing only shorts and a t-shirt. Use a standard bathroom scale and record to the nearest pound.
Step 3 – Body Mass Index (BMI)
Using your height measurement from Step 1 and your weight measurement from Step 2, determine your BMI using the BMI Calculator.
Step 4 – Waist Circumference
Measure your waist, midway between the bottom of your rib cage and top of your hip joint. Hold a tape measure against your skin and keep it parallel to the floor. Record this measurement after a normal exhale.
