Project To Help Me Lose Weight

Hi! I made http://weightgrapher.com/ Essentially, all the websites I've used between FitBit, LoseIT and MyFitnessPal have really poor graphing. When I joined weight loss groups and forums I found most people are afraid of getting on the scale just because of how discouraging daily fluctuations can be. I aimed to fix this problem by bringing exponentially damped averages into the weight graphing, and educating on using your trending weight to see how you're doing instead of the up-and-down of raw numbers. Thoughts? Feedback?

Project To Help Me Lose Weight launched on February 22, 2013 with 18 votes, #76 of 551 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 13 years on.

In plain words

WeightGrapher helps people track weight loss by displaying trending weight data rather than daily fluctuations, which can be discouraging. It automatically syncs with Fitbit Aria scales and visualizes weight history with smoothed averages to show actual progress. Users can add notes about diet changes or habits to correlate them with weight trends. The tool is designed for anyone using a Fitbit scale who wants a clearer picture of whether their weight loss efforts are working.

The scale goes up and down, you can weigh more today than yesterday and still be on track to losing weight. WeightGrapher shows you the trend, letting you see how your decisions are paying off now. No need to manually enter information, if you have an Aria scale by FITBIT® , WeightGrapher automatically downloads your whole weight history, and keeps it up to date every time you step on the scale. Starting a new diet? Riding your bike to work? Keep track of your new habits with notes. They display on your graph, for at-a-glance determination of how they're paying off. Our prediction algorithms use your past weight data. This means we can show you projections based on your performance, not…from weightgrapher.com

    Visualize Fitbit steps with Notch2012 · notch.me · ▲34

    Hi folks, wanted to get feedback on a project before making it 'public'. It's called Notch and the idea is to create a more fun UX for personal health tracking (using data from Fitbit, Fuelband, Withings, etc). The demo project is a first experiment with this. The 'private' signup page is at http://notch.me/start.html. Users go in, add their Fitbit, and it creates a personalized infographic based on their Fitbit steps, like this: http://notch.me/p/7Isumkw5k2P1WhyeUVwFmj Feedback is appreciated! Feel free to email me at [email protected]. Thanks! Eli
