What Is BMI and Why Does It Matter?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely used screening tool for assessing whether your weight falls within a healthy range. Used by the NHS, GPs, and weight management services across the UK, BMI provides a quick snapshot of your weight relative to your height. The formula is simple: your weight in kilograms divided by your height in metres squared (kg/m²).
While BMI isn't a perfect measure — it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution — it remains the standard first step in identifying potential weight-related health risks including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.
The NHS also recommends adjusted thresholds for people of South Asian, Chinese, or Black African heritage — a BMI of 23 or above is classified as overweight, and 27.5 as obese. Our calculator includes this adjustment as a one-click toggle.
Why Track Your Weight Loss Progress?
Tracking weight loss offers several important benefits beyond just the number on the scales. Visual progress monitoring helps you see patterns over time — weight naturally fluctuates day-to-day due to water retention, food intake, and hormones, but a chart shows the overall downward trend. Research shows that self-monitoring is one of the most effective strategies for sustainable weight loss.
- Helps identify which lifestyle changes work best for you
- Increases motivation and accountability
- Shows progress even when scales don't move — improvements in energy, mood, or how clothes fit matter too
- Supports conversations with your GP about whether treatment is working
- Works alongside other metrics like waist measurement and BMI
The NHS recommends losing weight at a sustainable rate of 0.5 to 1 kg per week — a chart helps you stay realistic about expectations and celebrate steady progress. Use our free progress tracker above to log your weight loss journey.

Creating Your Free Printable Weight Loss Chart
A simple weight loss chart needs just three columns: date, weight in stone and pounds (or kg), and notes. Start by recording your current weight and setting a realistic goal — for example, losing 5–10% of your current body weight, which the NHS confirms can deliver significant health benefits.
- Weigh yourself weekly on the same day and time (morning, after toilet, before food)
- Record weight in stone and pounds or kilograms — whichever you prefer
- Note any changes: mood, energy levels, how clothes fit, or medication adjustments
- Don't obsess over weekly fluctuations — focus on the overall trend over 4–8 weeks
MyWeightCheck's free progress tracker automates this process, calculating your BMI alongside weight and showing your trajectory visually. Try our weight loss calculator to understand expected progress with different approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BMI, weight loss medications, and our free UK tools.
What should a weight loss tracking chart include?
A basic chart needs date, weight (in stone, pounds, or kg), and optional notes. Include your starting weight and target weight, then record weekly weigh-ins. The NHS recommends weekly tracking as it smooths out daily fluctuations caused by water, food, or hormones. Our free progress tracker does this automatically.
How often should I weigh myself when tracking weight loss?
The NHS recommends weighing yourself weekly on the same day and time — ideally in the morning after using the toilet and before eating. Avoid daily weigh-ins as natural daily fluctuations can be demotivating. A weekly pattern shows the true trend in your weight loss journey.
Is losing 1 kg per week a healthy rate?
Yes, the NHS recommends losing 0.5 to 1 kg per week as a safe, sustainable rate. Faster loss is possible with medical support (such as prescription weight loss medication), but slower loss is equally valid. Consistency matters more than speed — even 0.5 kg per week becomes 26 kg in a year.
Should I track weight loss if I'm taking prescription medication like Mounjaro or Wegovy?
Yes, tracking is particularly useful with prescription weight loss medication. These medications may help you lose an average of 15–21% of body weight in clinical trials, but individual results vary. A chart lets you see your personal response and discuss progress with your prescriber. Use our BMI calculator to track how your BMI changes alongside weight.
Can I use a weight loss chart alongside other health metrics?
Absolutely — weight is only one measure of progress. Consider also tracking: waist circumference, how your clothes fit, energy levels, blood pressure, or blood sugar (if relevant). BMI is useful but has limitations — it doesn't distinguish muscle from fat. A holistic chart including these metrics gives a fuller picture of your health improvements.
