Do all of you step on the scale every day? For me that would be maddening. I gave it a try since a buddy of mine weighs himself daily, and it's like one morning I'm at one number, the next morning it's different, and it keeps bouncing around. I stick to Friday mornings, roughly the same hour. I've got a Renpho Elis 2X that logs everything through my phone too.
On my dashboard, the key numbers (as far as I'm concerned) come from my all data sheet: latest blood sugar, A1c, weight, body fat, visceral fat, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL. Each one has a red or green arrow showing whether it's gone up or down since the previous reading.Rdg1970 said:
How does your dashboard look? Also, you lean toward Gemini? For me, it kept making a bunch of assumptions and came off almost lazy next to Claude.oldrunnerguy said:
Same here. Thanks to Gemini, the nerd inside me has fully come out. I've got Google spreadsheets where cells turn green for normal blood readings and red for out-of-range values, every dose recorded, weight, fat %, and plenty of biometric data all laid out, plus a dashboard showing the key metrics that refreshes itself, all vials labeled, and precise inventory maintained on its own sheet, and so on. And not a single person cares besides me, which suits me just fine.maayws said:
At the start of my weight loss journey, my plan was simple: just log my weight, nothing more.
But somewhere along the way, it snowballed into me tracking everythingMy measurements, goals, little milestones, and all the random notes I wanted to remember.
My NIIMBOT M2 was bought to label my medication originally, yet it also became part of my weight loss journal. I began labeling sections such as meal ideas, progress notes, and monthly goals, which helps me locate things faster.
It’s such a small thing, but having everything organized makes the whole process feel a little easier.
Anyone else like keeping track of the little wins?
Sure, it’s not like the number drops every single day, but seeing it there motivates me to start the morning. For 3 days straight my weigh-ins have come in lower each time: -1, -.5, and -.5, which adds up to 2lbs across those 3 days. Over the past 15 days I’m down 8.2lbs. Reta is great lol. Every day I train 1 hour of cardio along with 21 heavy sets.
From where this oddball sits, that's not strange at all!maayws said:

Just watch out when you're dropping 4lbs each week.
I get what you're saying, but for me the first thing that happened was dropping a handful of pounds, and then the scale went back up once I brought gh into the mix. My lifts have climbed as well, so I realize this rate of loss isn't going to hold. All told, from June 16th until now, I'm only down 12.4lbs. Every day I inject 5.5ius of gh, plus 225mg of Test Cyp per week as prescribed TRT.
LoseIt! is what I use for weight tracking too…my tracking has gone through periods of consistency and gaps for roughly 11 years. Watching the ups and downs fascinates me, since every increase can be linked to a specific stressful thing going on — difficult jobs, getting hurt, moving a house. I paid for the lifetime plan and have zero regrets. Back when I logged food and macros, the app felt very user-friendly, and I really liked the recipe tools plus the ability to store foods I eat often.
