Principle 4: Measure Your Progress

Measure Your Progress

Consistently measuring your "progress" by keeping track of your "numbers" with simple tools like the bathroom scale, a tape measure or even a blood pressure cuff can help keep you motivated to stay fit and eat better.

Why Bother?
Regularly taking stock of key health measurements—weight, BMI, waist measurement, cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose—can give you an idea how your overall health is and help you keep track of any weight loss or maintenance efforts you undertake.
