How to Create a Weight Loss Graph

Using a weight loss graph can help you maintain steady weight loss and allow you to determine where changes in diet or exercise need to occur. You can create a weight loss graph using Microsoft Word. By tracking your weight on a weekly or monthly basis, you should be able to meet weight loss goals, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Entering in your weight each week can motivate you to stick to a healthy diet and exercise plan.
