Are there any weight trending apps that take TOM into account?

Great idea. Now, how do you suggest I tell exactly which week or two weeks I shouldn’t weigh myself for?

You say upthread that you use a tracker for your period, so...

...so when it fails to predict a late period, I’ll be skipping weighing for the wrong weeks. Won’t that be helpful.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. You track your period so you know when it's late. Don't weigh when it's late.

I don't think you're thinking about trending app correctly. It's not that the app decides what is a fluctuation and what isn't, it's just the law of averaging. Mathematically, it is using a formula that accounts for the last x days, sounds like about 2 weeks. So a 2-day or 7-day change doesn't affect it as much as a 10 or 14 day change. The way the trending app helps is that you can see the monthly pattern so you know it's a predictable fluctuation, not a long term gain. Over the course of 3 weeks, you would still see a loss. Happy Scale shows green or red shading based on where you're at compared to a month ago. If it bothers you that much, you could just a enter a lower weight than your scale shows on the days you "know" it's just a temporary TOM gain.
