1. What is Weight Loss Progress?

Weight loss progress measures how much of your weight loss goal you've achieved. It's calculated by comparing the amount of weight you've lost to your total weight loss goal.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weight loss progress formula:

Where:

• \( lost \) — Weight already lost (kg)
• \( goal \) — Total weight loss goal (kg)

Explanation: The formula calculates what percentage of your total weight loss goal you've already achieved.

3. Importance of Tracking Progress

Details: Tracking weight loss progress helps maintain motivation, allows for adjustments to diet/exercise plans, and provides measurable milestones toward your goal.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the weight you've lost so far and your total weight loss goal in kilograms. Both values must be positive numbers, with goal > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should I measure progress weekly or monthly?
A: Weekly measurements can show short-term trends, while monthly measurements better reflect long-term progress and reduce daily fluctuation effects.

Q2: What's a healthy rate of weight loss?
A: 0.5-1 kg per week is generally considered safe and sustainable for most people.

Q3: Why isn't my progress linear?
A: Weight loss often fluctuates due to water retention, muscle gain, hormonal changes, and other factors.

Q4: Should I only track weight?
A: No, also consider measurements, body fat percentage, and how clothes fit, as these may show progress when scale doesn't.

Q5: What if my progress stalls?
A: Plateaus are normal. Reassess your calorie intake, activity levels, and consider consulting a nutritionist or trainer.
