The scale alone says little. Track the full picture, weekly and fasted:
- Weight (same scale, same time), plus tape: chest, waist (below navel), hips, both arms, both legs.
- Photos every 7 days — front, side, back; same light and time.
- Body fat (visual reference): ~10–12% = defined; ~15% = athletic; ~20% = average; 25%+ = clearly overweight. For exact numbers, see a professional.
Put a number on it with the body-fat calculator.
