How To Measure The Success Of Your Healthy Lifestyle

One of the best measures of success in lifestyle change is an improvement in how you feel physically and mentally.
Do you have more energy?
Do you feel more motivated and in control?

Answereing yes is a great indicator about your whether or not your lifestyle is changing for the better, especially since health and well-being is measured by how you think and feel and not just the change to your body shape.

Being aware of how your eating habits have changed and also being more physically active is a good sign that you have changed for the better.  Your fat distribution is a good indictaor, losing inches around the waist and upper body will reduce health risks and you will be happy with who you see in the mirror.

Measuring your weight is not such a good measure of success when you first start changing your lifestyle habits, putting too much emphasis on your weight is not a good idea.  When you start losing weight you may put on a little extra, but don't worry as everyone is different but you will eventually start trimming down.

Measuring your success doesn't start and end with your bathroon scales, it is measured by how you feel, if you are starting to feel great about yourself and being more active then you are leading a healthier lifestyle.

If you haven't already, make the change that you need and be healthy, it's now time to Reshape Your Health

  1. Hi there

    I agree that looking on the scale every day (or several times a day) can be counterproductive and debilitating. Anyway if you're putting omn muscle mass your weight may actually rise, but its healthy weight.

    As a vegetarian I've found eating kelp can sometimes have a regulatory effect on my cravings
