| OK, you
may be losing weight but still don't look as good as Charlize Theron.

If so, consider monitoring your body fat percentage. Because it gives a better indication about how you look than losing weight alone. Most celebrities with defined bodies e.g. Tiger Woods or Britney Spears have low fat percentages, but can carry a bit more muscle than your average joe. Britney needs it to dance and Tiger Woods, to golf. Indeed, many fitness concious people monitor fat more than body weight. A main point to note is that muscle weighs more than fat . So if you put on muscle and lose fat, your weight may stay the same, but your overall look will be far better.
