Some are basic, some are bit more complicated, and all of them can be deceiving.Our current feature graph is the basic weight loss graph. This graph simply shows my daily weight changes. Daily measuring of your weight is generally not recommended while dieting because body weight fluctuates a lot. You are more likely to see progress when measuring once a week. Like all statistics, your weight can be deceiving. If you are exercising, you will be adding muscle. Muscle tissue is more dense than fat tissue and you could be significantly improving your health but see no noticeable weight loss. You can also dangerously lose weight while not significantly improving your health by exercising and eating a proper diet, therefore, body weight should not be the only body statistic that you track. To accurately measure your weight, I suggest getting a weight scale that can actually measure in smaller increments such as .1 or .2 lbs. I have found that most of the scales that you can purchase off the shelf simply do not accurately do the job. You can test this by weighing multiple times a day and if the scale's measurement does not change then it is probably changing in huge increments. One of my old scales seemed to change only in increments of 1.2 lbs and that just wasn't acceptable for my stat loving self. I currently have a Salter Electronic CR-2032 and we love it, but it simply can't be found anywhere that I know of. If you are searching for a new weight scale, I quickly searched Amazon and turned up this weight scale as a good starting point for shopping.
