Hi. Does anyone know what the orange figure is on my progress chart? I can’t work it out although I bet it’s a very obvious answer

    I'd like to help, but I'm not sure what you're referring to. Can you say something about what labels/words are around it, what page it's on, or even post a screen shot?

    On the iOS app (can’t speak for any other platform as that’s all I use) on the ‘Progress’ line graph there’s a small orange square with a number in it, at the right hand end of the graph line.

    I’ve wondered what it represents too but as the number is always slightly lower than my current progress weight I’ve figured it must be some sort of prediction of weight if the current trend is continued. 🤷‍♀️

    For example, my current weight is 8st 7lbs and the little orange box says ‘8.5’ (that could be just a different way to express eight and a half stone, of course, but the number hasn’t always been proportional to that form of numeric expression).

    I never close out my diary but I wonder if it’s a graph version of that ‘if every day were like today in 5 weeks you’d weigh....’.

    Would be about right at this point for me as I’m losing at about that speed! 2lbs in 5 weeks might be pretty accurate.

    Edit to add, because I’m an idiot:

    Having just gone and played around with the time span of my progress graph it’s now obvious that it is simply expressing 8st 7lbs as a decimal representation. The ‘Y’ axis of the graph clearly shows weight represented in that way, which I’d not noticed before. 🙄

    I do not like this new feature at all. First of all it blocks the progress graph. And it has you focusing more on your current weight as opposed to your progress etc. It is redundant to have current weight in so many places. I am hoping this is something that can be opted out of. Otherwise after 8 years here I may have to find another option for myself.

    On iOS it states the current weight.

    Yep. I just weighed in a moment ago, and it’s the weight my scale reported.

    Gotta love Bluetooth.

    *overnight weight gain courtesy of killer middle eastern lunch and subsequent visit to the ah-mazing attached grocery store. Thanks to @cmriverside for identifying the kaak bread that led to most of this. *burp*

    Still have rose petal Turkish delight on the counter, but had to throw out the rest of that very very tempting kaak.

    (Another weird thing about weight loss is feeling compelled to explain every gain. )

    I'm assuming you ate all those kaaks? :wink:

    There were a dozen. I, um, might have eaten half.

    That’s why I had to kick them to the curb.

    hahah, I've been known to "rescue" food from the garbage after trying to save myself. I hope you poured soapy water on them and then threw them away....


    um


    I never had to do that. Nope.
