How to use it
- Weigh at the same time — first thing in the morning, after the toilet, before food or drink is the usual choice.
- Average each week and compare averages, not days. Skipped days are fine; average what you have.
- Mark dose changes in the last column. The weeks after a change are still settling — semaglutide takes 4 to 5 weeks of weekly doses to reach a steady level.1
- Use the other measures box: waist, how clothes fit and energy can move while the scale does not.
Why weekly averages? See when weight loss slows, which shows how much daily readings bounce around a trend.
