    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I haven't been as committed to logging lately. Each time I stray from tracking, I inevitably eat too much sugar. Definitely have some major sugar cravings going on! I lost my streak at the end of October (840+ days), so that was kind of disappointing. Overall, though, I am managing to just stay in range. I'd love to be a few pounds less right now as I will no doubt be indulging through the holiday!

    Checking in early as away again this weekend. All good as I have dropped down a bit and seem to be hovering nicely around where I want to be. Work Christmas party tonight which will have temptations but it’s at my place so no doubt I’ll be rushing too much to really indulge! The challenge now is to stay on track up to Christmas and ensure that while I’m off work (teacher) I can keep up the activity.

    Happy weekend all x

    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.

    Name: missperfectpitch
    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
    Average weight recorded from May: 109.3
    Average weight recorded from June: 109.7
    Average weight recorded from July: 110.1
    Average weight recorded from August: 109.7
    Average weight recorded from September: 110.3
    Average weight recorded from October: 110.1
    Average weight recorded from November: 110.2

    Week of...
    December 1: 110.3 (trend 110)
    December 8: 108.8 (trend 109.4)
    December 15: 109.9 (trend 109.7)
    December 22:
    December 29:

    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.

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

    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!
