    omg that should be regular POSTERS not “losers”.

    There’s some glitch that won’t let me go back and edit posts lately, so that one is now writ in digital stone. 😂😂😂😂

    This is annoying not being able to edit.

    Trendweight has launched a newly updated version. Still free. Allows login via free Google account which is good if you don't want another login and have a Google account or two with minimal shared info.

    Still pulls weight from Fitbit app. Fitbit app on phone still just requires a Google account and the phone app can be selected as your "Fitbit" to count steps via phone. Point is, you can add your weight in without buying anything. Also multiple scale apps can be set up to export to Fitbit if you want.

    Last time I checked weightgrapher looked no longer maintained. I think Libra was pushing for subscription. Happy scale same.

    Well, since the overwhelming majority of posters here either want to be or have been losers at one point or or another . . . .

    🤣

    Bad news about Weightgrapher.

    In my experience with Libra (daily use!), if it's pushing for subscriptions, IME it's not pushing very hard. I maybe see a quick, easy-dismissed one-page reminder every few days. It's not obnoxious, at least to me . . . not obnoxious enough, apparently, since I haven't subscribed yet. 😉

    i do weekly calories… some days a few hundred lower… some days higher… it has worked for me!

    (If this can be considered the same as calorie cycling..)

    Yeah, calorie cycling (or zig-zag dieting) is where you eat more calories on some days and less on others, but your weekly total still lines up with your goals. A lot of people like it because it makes dieting feel less strict—you can enjoy higher-calorie days around workouts or social events without blowing progress. Some say it helps with energy, gym performance, and sticking to the plan long-term. The key is keeping your averages in check; it’s not a free pass to binge. If you hate rigid diets, this can be a flexible and sustainable approach.
