You might want to get a measure of your percent body-fat. There are several ways you can measure your body fat percentage at home. You can use a bioelectrical impedance device.

Alternatively you can learn to use body fat calipers, which can be trickier to get a consistent reading but are a more direct measure of your body fat.
