Weight Tracking at your fingertips
We’ve responded to another popular feature request that we were hearing about frequently on our message boards: Weight tracking!
You already tell us your weight when you use our calorie calculator or fitness calculator, so we’ve saved your weight as it’s changed over time.
Now, we offer a new My Weight page, where you can see a visual representation of your weight historically. You can revisit this page anytime your weight changes to update the information we keep on file.
Check it out, and let us know what you think!

Hey, great job! I haven’t visited in about a month, and I’m liking all of the changes I’m seeing. You guys are building a first-class site here. Good work!
JOhn.

What a fantastic site!
The weight-tracker feature is critically important. I learned this from the director of a school for autistic children. She told me that simply writing down your weight each day, or the number of pages you’ve written, doesn’t have an especially powerful effect on behavior. You need to chart your progress.
She had been able to “un-stick” a fellow graduate student who’d gotten blocked on his dissertation by telling him to chart his progress towards completion.

I’d also like to see you incorporate whatever principles of formal self-experimentation, which Seth Roberts has used, into the site. I think you’re probably doing that now with the new feature that allows users to enter notes about how they feel.

I love, love, love the weight tracking feature. I weigh myself once a week and I am so excited that I now have three points on my chart. I have a real trend set. It is so encouraging to look at that progress and make better choices to continue to see it go down. BRAVO on this wonderfully fabulous site. I am making real progress and I KNOW it will stick because I am doing it one day, one meal, one snack at a time. Keep up the great work
