    How does everyone calculate their average weight for the month/week?

    Happy Scale doesn't give those figures, and it always seems like a pain to do it myself.

    I have Happy Scale export my weight to the Apple Health app and that displays all the averaging info that I use - week, month, and year ☺️

    Hi @Orphia !
    I use either Weight Guru (where I record my weight each morning) or Health on my iPhone. Just saw the other poster! I have MyNetDiary exporting into the Health app.

    I've got an Android phone, so the options are a bit different, but my Fitbit account is linked to MFP and the Fitbit app provides weekly averages. I do calculations for my monthly average, but at least it's only 4 numbers then.

    Height: 5'4"
    Total weight lost: About 43 pounds
    Time it took to lose: 1 year and 2 months
    How long in maintenance: I hit my goal weight in the beginning of January 2018, but officially started maintenance in mid-March 2018 after figuring out my calories for a couple of months.
    Maintenance weight range: 108-111.5

    Average weight recorded from January: 110.6
    Average weight recorded from February: 109.5
    Average weight recorded from March: 109.0
    Average weight recorded from April: 109.1

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Started the week off really low, below the lowest end of the range and the lowest that I've been since I started maintenance. I was back in range for the rest of the week though, although most of that is from water weight, so I think that I'm still probably at the low end of the range. This is good though since I'll be away for the next 1.5 weeks with plans for a lot of eating out at nice restaurants and stopping at pastry/dessert shops, so I'll have some leeway and can enjoy eating everything.

    I log my daily weight in Excel. I also track other biometric data when the button on my scale is working (body fat % estimate, body water content, bone mass). I have a column that automatically calculates a ten-day rolling average. It's actually not necessarily a ten DAY average - it's more of a ten ENTRY average. Some days I am away from a reliable scale, so it's just the average of the last ten days. That's the same as what Trendweight does; I use that, too. Once a week, I just run a seven day average off to the side. That one is just for the week, so it's a six-day average if I didn't weigh one week. At the end of the month, I run a monthly average. Easy peasy!

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: sorry all I typed my age wrong last post I am 49 not 40. Stuck to the plan all week. A little under calories but my moms coming tomorrow and we are having turkey. I love turkey and have some calories to spare. Traveling some next week, so I will have less control as I can’t cook and won’t have a food scale. I’ll make it work though.

    Aimed to get to low goal range before Chrimbo. I'm happy, and looking forward to an enjoyable, festive week this week.

    Note to self: Your weight will be up at the next weekly check-in - and that's a good thing!!

    Success of the week: My scale weight is coming back down. Some was fluid retention from muscle repair.

    Struggle of the week: My seven-day and ten-day average weight is still going up, but that will change as scale weight continues to come down. I am almost back down to the top of my maintenance range.
