Weight Monitor allows you to quickly and easily record your daily weight. Nothing else to get in the way. Just add your weight and see it plotted on the graph with all the relevant information. The monthly graph shows you your weight, your target weight but also your average weight over the last 10 days. Your average weight is a much better indicator of your real weight.

Delete Weight. Just select the Weighs button and find the day you want to delete the weight of. Select the red cross on that row. Select Yes when the dialog prompts you and the weight will be deleted.

The blue line shows the required weight loss line. This line is calculated from the start date & weight and the end date & weight. If you follow this line you will reach your target weight.

The end of the arrow of each red line shows the weight for the day. The line extends to the rolling average weight for the day. If the arrow is downward then your weight is going in the right direction. If the arrow is upward then beware your weight is above the average.

The green line shows the rolling average weight. For each weight entered an average of the last ten days is calculated. This weight is plotted for each day and this is the green line. If the green line remains below the blue line you are winning.

Your daily weight can change too much over just a couple of days and this can be very discouraging when your weight increases.

You can easily see your new weight and how this affects the average on the graph.

Using this new information you can gain confidence that your weight is changing as required.

The graph also shows you the line of required weight loss to achieve your desired weight.
While your weights and the average weights remain below this line you are still on track.
Stray above this line and your are off course. The graph is a powerful visual clue to what is occurring.

Simple to use. Just start it. You just have to set the initial values in the Preferences and you are ready to go.
To set the Preferences you set the Start Date, Start Weight, End Date, End Weight and whether you want to use kilograms, stones & pounds, or pounds.

On the Graph page just select Todays Weight to add you weight for the day. Select Weight to add more than one weight for the month/months. Switch back to the Graph to see the weight(s) plotted. Once you have a few added the Graph View starts to make real sense.

The more weights you add the better the graph shows your progress.

Very good app

Its great idea and very good motivation, I lost almost 20kg with its help...

The ability to import/export date is missing or iCloud

The idea of this app is a good on. BUT: You buy the app for iPhone and iPad. There is no feature for iCloud nor even to export or import your data. Thus when you put in your data into your iPad you got to do it all over again when you want them on other devices. There is a OSX version but without the icloud or export/import ability.

dont bother

I purchased this app. It is not worth the 99 cents. The numbers are wonky and the chart is inaccurate. If I put my weight in at 119 it might show on the chart as 120. Just didnt make sense. The chart is awkward and amateurish. I deleted this app after trying to use it for a few weeks.

Works for me

This is the app recommended by Volek and Phinney in The Art and Science of Carbohydrate Living. The important thing to remember is that the app averages your weight. Each day when you input your daily number, the monitor tells you where you should be that day in order to meet your set weight goal and date. And it averages your numbers to account for daily fluctuations in water weight. It encourages me to stay on track. I like it.

A Simple, Elegant App

This app displays progress and signals if you are trending to your goals in a very simple, straightforward manner. Does what it says it does.

The best, simple, most effective weight monitor Ive found.

Could Do More with a Few Tweeks

If you want to track your weight loss (gain) this does the trick. Very basic functionality to see how you are doing versus your goal. A couple of things could be done better. For example it could default to the last date that you entered a weight value. On the preferences screen the wording around feet & inches could be removed since it isnt needed for anything. Overall I like the app. You get your moneys worth.
