Who else is peeved by the weight change indicator?
Firstly, Cronometer is working on changing this. I think I need to gripe about it, though. When you know you have lost 4.8 lbs over 7 days and yet the weight change indicator now states that your weight has changed by 1.8lbs??????? yes I have had two days within those 7, where my weight hasn't changed, but really??? The graphs are a much better indicator of what is happening on the journey but seeing that weight change indicator telling porkies is frustrating.

average weight change...you may thank them for it after a holiday. i don't use it though, as my bathroom scale is motivating enough.

average weight change...you might like it after a binge, but yeah, not so fun while staying true to your food plan. I just don't use that part as my bathroom scale is enough motivation. helpful if u need to track which foods cause a weight gain though.

I’m totally new to Cronometer
I’d like to know how to enter my weight daily or every few days on the charts? So I can keep an eye on my progress. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
Regards,
MarieW

Something that hasn't happened ever: The weight I enter becomes kg, so everything is out of whack. I may be hitting something wrong, but it has never done it before, and I never go into the settings (except to fix this!).

Hi @launica_3113 thanks for reporting this. If it happens again, please contact support@cronometer.com with details about if it happens on mobile or web, and how you logged your weight. Thanks!

Remember that weight is only one way to gauge progress and its not a very accurate one. There are so many reasons for weight to change that don't necessarily relate to how much fat you have lost, or muscle you have gained.
Be sure to use weight along with other markers like measurements and progress pictures so you have an accurate view of how you're doing. 😊

Happy Scale on IOS is a great app to use. It smooths out the peaks and troughs and breaks down weight loss goals into smaller, more easily achievable segments. You can get the actual weight from scales to Apple Health then into Happy Scale and Cronometer.
I have no affiliation with the company just a very happy user

Trust your scales and your math, not some app...

I like using apps, it helps me. I trust you haven't looked at Happy Scale. It's the moving average that is interesting, and whilst I could easily create a spreadsheet to replicate the app I would then need to input weight each day too. The weight recorded from my scales is uploaded to Apple Health and passed to Garmin and Cronometer, so why not Happy Scale. In any case I'll use as many tools to help me on my quest and I believe Happy Scale has helped me. I have about 5kgs max further to lose and I switched from MyFitness Pal to Cronometer because I feel it is better suited for maintenance
Here's my results since 11th Nov 19. I have religiously monitored and recorded my calorie intake since 11.11.19. My starting point made it progression easy once I was committed.
