To determine your progress, you need to track your Starting Weight and the Time Elapsed since your last measurement. This helps in identifying trends over specific periods.

Step-by-step calculation:

• Step 1: Determine total weight change (e.g., losing 10 lbs).
• Step 2: Note the time elapsed (e.g., 20 days).
• Step 3: Apply the formula: (10 / 20) * 7 = 3.5 lbs per week.
