Measuring progress beyond the scale can include various methods such as tracking body measurements, body fat percentage, and fitness performance. Taking measurements of waist, hips, and chest can indicate changes in body composition rather than just weight. Additionally, improvements in endurance, strength, and flexibility during workouts can signify progress. Keeping a fitness journal or using tracking apps can help document non-scale victories, which contribute to a holistic understanding of one’s health journey beyond mere weight numbers.
