Weight can mislead, especially for two people with different bodies.
Here is a simple, kind tracking system.
- Weekly: waist and weight average.
- Monthly: photos in the same light.
- Performance: reps, steps and workouts.
- Privacy: share what you choose.
Beyond the Scale
Weight changes daily with water, food and hormones. Track several signals together.
- Waist measurement at the navel
- How clothes fit
- Photos from the front and side
- Strength and stamina gains
A Simple Weekly Check-In
Measure at the same time each week and note sleep, steps and workouts. Spend ten minutes sharing what you each noticed.
Photos and Privacy
Take photos monthly in the same place and light. Keep them private, and share only what each of you feels comfortable with.
Keeping It Positive
Celebrate habits as well as numbers. If a week goes badly, note one thing to change and move on without blame.
Keep it simple, do it together and adjust for each person. If either of you has a health condition, speak to your doctor first.
