Understanding Weight Loss Percentage
Why Track Percentage?
Weight loss percentage provides a more meaningful measure of progress than absolute weight loss alone. A 10-pound loss means different things to different people based on their starting weight. Percentage gives you a standardized way to track and celebrate progress.

Healthy Weight Loss Rates
Recommended Weekly Rate
0.5-1.0% of body weight per week
This translates to 0.5-1 kg (1-2 lbs) for most people and ensures sustainable, healthy weight loss while preserving muscle mass.
Progress Tracking Tips
Weight can fluctuate daily due to water retention, hormones, and other factors. Focus on weekly averages and overall trends rather than daily changes.
Remember: Healthy weight loss is about creating sustainable habits, not just reaching a number on the scale. Focus on how you feel and your overall health.
