I know there are a lot of weight trending apps out there but I am wondering which ones you are using and maybe why? Later I will try some of them out.

Kthxbye

    Weight training or trending?

    I use libra for trending.

    For training I use programs, not necessarily on apps.

    For most it's an either/or. Happy Scale is only available on iOS. Libra is only available on Android.

    Then you have Trendweight, which just requires you to have a Withings or Fitbit account (you don't even need a tracker, just sign up). And probably some other similar sites.

    I use Happy Scale because iPhone.

    I was just wondering, because MFP tracks weight, why would you used a different app for weight?

    This just occurred to me..

    I just got happy scale last night and it’s super informative. I didn’t have it until now because I was logging in MFP and didn’t see the point, but now i actually see my averages are showing me losing way faster than intended and I need to adjust. They’ve got milestone goals and decent projections so you can see when you’ll reach goal.

    Doesn't trend properly. It just records your reading.

    My scale syncs here and to trendweight.com. For some reason I've yet to figure out, it doesn't sync well to Libra. Comes through in chunks (like a week at a time) and hasn't sync'd sind Dec 9th for some reason. Trendweight, MFP and Garmin all are sync'd fine, just not Libra.

    Because of trend, not explicit in MFP. I thought that was the question.

    Because MFP doesn't give you a trend

    I use Happy Scale on my iPhone. You input your weight (I do it every day) and it creates a trending graph. The MFP graph shows spikes and dips where the fluctuations are. The Happy Scale graph shows a more gentle trend that evens out those spikes and dips. I don't freak out about intermittent gains anymore because I can see that my weight loss progress is moving in the right direction. Try it for a month and see what you think. It's free.
