How do I check my weight without a weighing machine?

You can estimate your weight using a few methods that don't require a weighing machine:

 

Use a tape measure and calculate body volume: Measure certain body dimensions (like waist, chest, hip, etc.) and use a formula that estimates weight based on these measurements. There are various formulas available online for this purpose.

 

Use displacement method: Fill a bathtub or a large bucket partially with water, enough to submerge yourself completely. Measure the amount of water displaced when you get in (your volume). Then, using the density of water (1 gram per cubic centimeter), you can estimate your weight.

 

Compare against known weights: Use common household items with known weights (like bags of sugar or flour) and compare how heavy you feel against them. This won't give you an exact weight but can provide a rough estimate.

 

Fitness assessments: Some fitness assessments involve estimating weight based on body fat percentage and other body measurements. While not as accurate, they can give you a ballpark figure.

There isn't a perfect way to get your exact weight without a scale, but there are a few methods to track changes in your weight or body composition:

 

Measuring tape: Take measurements of your waist, hips, and thighs at regular intervals. If these areas are getting smaller, it suggests weight loss.

Body fat calipers: These handheld tools estimate your body fat percentage by measuring skinfolds at specific points.

Progress photos: Take pictures of yourself from the front, back, and sides at regular intervals. You can compare these over time to see body composition changes.

Clothing fit: Try on clothes that you know fit you well in the past. If they feel looser, it suggests weight loss.

Body awareness: Notice how your clothes feel, your energy levels, and how easy exercise is. Generally, increased energy and easier workouts can indicate weight loss.
