How To Track Your Weight When Using Weight Loss Drugs

---

Obesity is an epidemic across the western world, the health industry is capitalising on this epidemic to provide effective treatment to patients. Due to this, clinicians have become more aware of the need to offer weight management advice. Getting regular check-ins and appointments to discuss weight tracking is creating an overwhelming demand for the NHS, so how can you easily understand the progress you are making from home?

Managing your weight remotely may become emotionally draining when stepping on the scales daily eagerly waiting for numbers to start going down but the realism of this is that scale weight does not match body changes and most other methods of tracking are built on calorie based behaviour change.

You need an app that takes into consideration more than just weight, reminds you to take photos to consistently track changes and encourages adding healthy habits into your routine to adapt your lifestyle to the differences of your body.

Benefits To You

Digital technology is allowing you to easily track your current health situation and can be a game changer when motivating your weight loss journey. Being able to actively look at visual representation of your progress is shown to support healthy behaviours and create a clearer understanding of how your fitness efforts are affecting your body composition. Our app ‘mybvi’ offers you the clarity of confirming the medication is working, it will build your trust in the process and it improves those conversations when discussing your results. Our graphs, habit trackers and photo journals allow you to get that personalised visualisation that will increase your dedication to yourself.

Best Way To Use Mybvi

Download the ‘mybvi’ app, enter your demographic information, take 2 scans following the instructions in-app, wait and then receive your results. Our tech will produce results based on your scans for measurements; waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, total body fat, visceral fat and a body volume index score. By scanning fortnightly, these measurements will give you more than enough information to see exactly how your body is changing from the inside rather than just a number on a scale. This information is invaluable when on weight loss drugs, to understand how your body is changing when you're putting something slightly unknown into your system and you're not sure how it will react.

Final Thoughts

Using a digital tool to track your weight loss whether you are doing it naturally or on weight loss drugs is invaluable to understand the way your body is changing to reach your desired outcome. Digital tools like apps can be motivators or validators to your situation, giving you the clarity of what you are seeing in the mirror. A scale can’t tell you where you've lost the weight or how quickly and definitely can’t show you it visually. Mybvi is the perfect tool when looking for an easy weight loss tracking app, download today and get a 30 day free trial to see for yourself how much it can add value to your life.
