At a glance, it seems that I only lost 50 grams in the past week. My weight yesterday morning was 94.45 kg. But somehow I gained 500 grams in one day, nearly erasing all the loss. This kind of ups and downs during a weight loss program is not unusual. That is why it is recommended that you collect other data as well to measure your progress.
For example, I have lost 5 cm (almost 2 inches) in my waist circumference in five weeks. My trousers now feel loose at the waist. My wife also mentioned that my belly looks smaller now.
Today I got myself a small notebook to manually record my measurements and what I eat and drink throughout the day. Hopefully, this will help me to be mindful of what I take in.
