'''Weight tracking''' logs your weigh-ins and turns them into a clear trend, so one heavy-scale morning never becomes the headline. Turn it on in Settings, then log from the '''Weight''' page.
Weight is the anchor for the rest of Loopa: your [[Weight forecast]], your [[Goals]], and your [[BMI and body composition]] chip all read from it.
== Log a weigh-in ==
On the Weight page:
- Pick the date. It defaults to today and cannot be in the future.
- Enter your weight in your unit (lb or kg, set in Settings).
- Tap '''Log weight'''.
The page updates in place, no reload. Log once a day, ideally first thing in the morning after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking. Same scale, same conditions, every time.
== Read your trend ==
Once you have two or more weigh-ins, the '''Trend''' card charts them:
- The '''bold gradient line''' is your 7-day rolling average. This is the number that matters. It smooths out water, food, and salt swings.
- The '''faint dots''' are your raw weigh-ins, so a single odd reading stays visible but never drives the trend.
- The '''amber dashed line''' is your goal weight, when one is set.
- The footer shows your high and low for the range.
== The header at a glance ==
The gradient header sums up where you stand:
- '''Latest''' weigh-in and total change across your logged entries.
- Your '''goal''' weight and a '''BMI''' chip with its band.
- A '''goal ETA''': "On pace to reach [goal] around [date]." If the average is not moving toward your goal, it reads "not progressing" instead.
== Edit or delete an entry ==
In the '''History''' table, each row shows the date, the weight, and the change from the previous weigh-in (green for down, red for up). Use '''edit''' to correct a value or '''delete''' to remove it. The trend, header, and BMI chip all refresh together.
== Tips for clean numbers ==
- Weigh at the same time of day, on the same scale.
- Do not chase the daily number. Watch the 7-day average line.
- Expect the scale to bounce 1 to 3 lb day to day. That is water, not fat.
