There are different types of calculators used as wieght loss calculators like: the BMI – Body Mass Index Calculator. BMI is the number calculation based on the person’s weight and height to know the trustworthy indicator of body fatness for any body.

How to calculate the weight loss: While initiating the log, the first day enter your weight both in the Trend and Weight columns. Then compute the figure for trend column as: deduct preceding day’s trend from today’s weight – note result with (–) ve sign if it’s so; move the decimal position in the resultant figure one set to the left, round-up the figure to one decimal position by plummeting the second decimal and adding the first decimal by one if second decimal position is 5 or more. Add this figure to preceding day’s trend number and insert in today’s trend column.

Now for calculating the number of pounds you lose or gain every week, deduct the final trend figure for the month from the first trend figure, then split it by 4 for obtaining wieght loss per week. For instance, if on day one of the month, the trend figure was 147 and on the month’s last day it’s 140 means you shed 7 pounds during the month, so weekly loss is 7/4 or 1.75 pounds.
