Measurements other than the scale

Probably many of us had a time when we were very fond of our scale, measuring ourselves everyday. You know, hoping for results. On a previous weight loss journey I learned how helpful body size measurements can be when the body got tired off the bullshit we made it go through and the scale didn't move anywhere for a while.

I'm curious, other than the scale and the tailors tape, is there any other way, possible measurement practice that can help observing ourself, and the change we succesfully achieve?

I mainly curious about options that can be done at home. Not looking for some laboratory testing :)

Thank you if you have any recommendations!

Expected weightloss 3 month lock in?

My weight gradually spiraled out of control over the last decade. I’ve always been overweight, but now I’m morbidly obese.

M, 42, 5’11” 300 lbs

The last couple of weeks I started walking, and eating better. I managed to keep consistent despite heatwave. Even though I haven’t really indulged in food, I eat or plan a couple of times. Invited to BBQ and stuff.

I decide to fully lock in the next 3 months. As a kickstart of my weightloss journey.

Plan:

- stick to meal plan I made (averaging around 2100 kcal, 150 gr protein , 80 gr carbs)
- walk a hour in the morning, a half hour in the afternoon, a half our in the evening. So about 14-15k steps a day
- strength training every other day
- 7-8 hours sleep daily, consistent bedtimes

What would be a realistic expectation weightloss wise this 3 months.

I am actually hoping for 40 pounds.
Is this realistic? I know 2100 kcal isn’t that low, but I will be active.

Also I imagine in the beginning weight loss will be faster. Also going from 300 to 260, is different than going from 220-180, right?

Hi everyone, I'm excited to be co-hosting an AMA for the r/loseit community next week, Wednesday, July 8 at 4-5pm (EDT).

I am a registered dietitian and nutrition manager for Almased with over 15 years' experience helping people on their weight loss journey. As a mom to two young kids, I understand how difficult it can be to stay consistent, which is why I am a firm believer in making nutrition and healthy living as simple as possible.

The key focus for this AMA will be on "How to avoid losing muscle mass when losing weight (and the important role of protein)". However, if you have other nutrition-based questions, please ask away.

Feel free to start posting questions and I will be back to answer them all during the event. Thank you!
