“When we feel good, we don’t hold on to things we don’t want, and that includes weight.”

A simpler method involves taking your measurements, in inches, at select points of your body. Once you take these measurements, you can input them into an online calculator, such as LIVESTRONG.com’s Body Fat Calculator, to estimate your percentage.

Tracking your other health numbers, such as your blood pressure and cholesterol, is a smart way to measure your weight without a scale.
