Thank you for FatWatch. I find it very helpful! I'm sure everyone else understands this, but could you explain how the *"number of pounds" to lose*, on the TRENDS screen, is calculated, as it is not a simple arithmetic problem (today's weight - goal weight = pounds to lose). Is the calculation made using the trend line? Or are you encouraging us to reach 1.9 pounds below our 'scale goal', to be in the safe "zone". Just curious. Mary
Weight to lose is simply the difference between your goal weight and the latest value of the trend line. You can see the exact value of the trend line on any given day by tapping the button on the top of the Log view (tap once to rotate through options, tap-and-hold for a menu).
FatWatch does use the concept of a “safe zone” after you have reached your goal. Once the trend line crosses the goal line, you are considered to have achieved your goal until it wanders more than 2.5 lbs above or below the goal line.
Even when “steady” your weight changes a bit from day to day, so if FatWatch didn’t use a zone the Trend screen would be alternating every day between congratulations and warnings.
