What is True Weight?
True Weight helps you see the real direction of your progress without getting distracted by the normal ups and downs of daily weigh-ins. Everyone’s weight can fluctuate from day to day due to meals, water retention, hormones, sleep, or even the time you step on the scale. These changes are completely normal and don’t necessarily reflect fat gain or loss.
The True Weight feature smooths out these daily variations to show a clearer, more reliable trend — displayed as a blue line in the app. By focusing on this line instead of each individual weigh-in, you can better understand whether you’re moving closer to your goals over time. It helps take the stress out of short-term fluctuations and keeps you focused on long-term progress.
How is True Weight calculated?
True Weight is based on an algorithm called an exponential moving average (EMA). In simple terms, it looks at all your past weight entries but gives more importance to the most recent ones. This creates a smooth, realistic trend that reacts naturally to changes in your weight while ignoring short-term spikes or drops.
Because it highlights your overall direction rather than every small change, true weight gives you a more stable and motivating view of your progress. However, it's just one tool in your journey. For the most accurate picture of your progress, use it alongside other indicators like body measurements, how your clothes fit, and what you see in the mirror. This comprehensive approach will help you make better decisions about your health goals!
