That's good to hear. I've only recently started working out, and started on free weights with a Power Rack and Barbell (doing Stronglifts). Glad I'm not partially wasting my time, and going onto the good stuff!

I use google docs to track everything, I have 3 years of daily weight measurements, keep a track of my lifts, keep notes on everything.. http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/weekly_weight_2010.png http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/weekly_weight_2010.png http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/weekly_weight_2011.png http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/weekly_weight_2011.png http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/chart_latest.png http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/chart_latest.png Large gain of 5+ kilos this year - trying to get squat past 140kg, hah. Playing rugby next year. The biggest key is keeping a record. Doesn't really matter what you do, as long as you log it. Good luck!

  Great stuff! I have a wireless scale from Withings that logs my weight for me, and I try to stand on it every day or two. I think I should get a tape measure and start tracking that too.

Last comments! What I really regret not doing, was taking a daily photo.. I do have a couple of photos (by luck, not by planning), Also, get a tape measure! starting point, began cycling to work about 2 weeks after this photo was taken (~118 kg, ouch) http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/2009-09-15.jpg http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/2009-09-15.jpg 6 months later with riding every day and body weight exercises (~97kg) http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/2010-03-22.jpg http://www.arcturus.com.au/sean/2010-03-22.jpg I would highly recommend taking some photos, because you don't notice changes yourself, everyone else does. :)

  Great stuff mate! SL says do front, back, side photos every 2 weeks, which I've been doing, but haven't been doing measurements. Think I'll start on that too. One of the fun things about working out is it appeals to my love of keeping and viewing personal statistics :)
