Monitor Your Weight Reviews

by KMM_622

I have been using MonitorYourWeight for years (personally) and it’s been very helpful to see the changes in my weight over the past couple years on the graph that’s provided. I give it 4 stars because the body fat % does not seem accurate and the estimated calorie needs are just that - a very rough estimate. If basing calorie needs off this number, keep in mind it’s just a starting point and working with a dietitian will give you much more accurate information based on many different lifestyle and physical factors.

MonitorYourWeight is great at helping me see my results as I get healthier. The graph shows my progress in weight loss and I love that I can enter my measurements! The only thing I’m having an issue with is the icon. I’ve toggles the switch to on so it is supposed to show how much weight I’ve lost on the icon. It just says 120lbs. No matter what toggle I turn off or on. Now that’s not a big deal BUT it is one of the reasons I chose MonitorYourWeight. 🤷🏻‍♀️

MonitorYourWeight great while it worked. My wife showed the doctor and she was impressed with it. However on Christmas Eve it just stop working and now it doesn’t recognize my email address for the account. I paid for the synchronization and now I can’t even get into my account to reactivate synchronization.

UPDATE:
I received a quick response from Support and it seems they had problems with their Server. I just had to recreate my id user my same email address and that corrected the issue. Thank you Support for you quick response. I have changed my rating from 1 star to 4 stars.

It is good graphing and history functions. However, MonitorYourWeight doesn’t lend itself to a situation where you stopped a diet, took time off and restarted. You’re stuck with the original starting weight. You’re stuck with the original time. There is no way, easy or hard, that I’ve found to be able to reset it or point the starting weight to a date. It would be great if there were easier controls to do that. I don’t want to lose my previous weight loss history but can’t seem to get this to use a current point in time to start with.

What I like about MonitorYourWeight is that you can create more than one profile. I am setting small weight loss goals so I can celebrate along the way. So when I finish one, I create a new profile with a new goal. I also created an overall weight loss profile so I can see my whole journey, although some may find this tedious because it means logging the weight twice. MonitorYourWeight is password protected and also gives % of how close you are to your goal and has graphs. It also syncs with your other apps like Apple Health or FitnessPal if you use those. There is also a place to add some notes when you enter your weight, in case you want to say what is going well or what isn’t, or what your goal is, etc.

Turns out I have been using MonitorYourWeight since 2012, which I didn’t realize. It was interesting to look back through my entries to see my journey and when I’ve done well and when I haven’t.

It's simple but works exceptionally well. It includes only the essential functions and displays the essential information, hence it's very fast to load. The weight curve and trend curve is clear enough for evaluating your performance.

Only minor con is that it requires you to put in a target or it will estimate a target for you. I wish the estimation function could set a target date besides a target weight.

This is very motivating and easy to use without any fluff—my favorite such app. Some things that would make it even better for me:
1. I like the feature of clicking on a past entry and telling you the x,y values. Would be great to extend this to touching a future point on the extrapolation lines—such as for the full graph, finding target date/wts along the way (for example, when I’d cross from one BMI range into another.
2. Ability to set both new-and long-term goals
3. Ability to customize measurements, or at least provide more useful categories. It provides for both left and right arm measurements, which seems a little anal or silly, yet just one bust or waist value. As a female I’d like to track both boob size and bra band circumference, and as someone who sports a double belly I’d want more detail around the midsection as well.
4. I can’t seem to get the “display lbs lost on app icon” to work but think that’s a nice feature.
5. Be able to vary the axis scales
6. Be able to enter comments with wt entries. I’d love to be able to annotate my history with things like “started going to gym” or “2week vacation” or “now fit size X jeans!” For extra motivation and for capturing more of the full picture.
Thank you!

I’ve been using the free version of MonitorYourWeight since 2016. I’m on my way to my goal weight. It’s easy to enter weight changes and it shows original BMI and lower BMI as I lose weight. My only gripe, I wish the font was larger so I could read what the home screen says as I lose my weight. The font is so tiny. If this were optimized for iPad, I could use it on my iPad, but it shows a small screen there, too.

Two weeks in and I keep waiting for some snafu to arise, but so far so good! It’s perfect for my basic needs: tracking my weight with the date I entered it, noting my goal. It might have more features that are useful but I’ve just not needed to go exploring within MonitorYourWeight . I’m just pleased it’s not riddled with ads that I have to wait 5 seconds to clear. Hearty recommendation!

My wife lost 50 lbs in one year and I, who just started, lost 7 months for the past 2 months. The success so far is because of MonitorYourWeight.

According to the many studies based off the National Weight Control Registry of NIH, regularly monitoring of weight helps in achieving our goals. And MonitorYourWeight provides all the relevant data aside from actual weight.

Awesome app.

I had been scared for quite some time to face my weight, but MonitorYourWeight makes it easier and even includes a password setting. It tracks your progress through linear graphs and also calculates your estimated daily weight loss, and helps you set goals and lets you know how long it will take to achieve those goals, realistically speaking. Also calculates and recalculates your caloric intake needed to lose the weight. Overall, great app.

by Angelraj

It’s very helpful to be able to track weight in one app. I love the simplicity of use, which allows you to enter daily weight as well as notes. I like being able to see the graph with the anticipated date of reaching your goal, which adjusts according to progress. I also appreciate that you can add previous days info, and make corrections easily.

I have been using MonitorYourWeight now for several months and find that it works very well for me tracking simple weight loss with a goal in mind. What I really like about it is the feature that compares the time elapsed with the amount of weight lost.
The viewing of the chart is good and it's various views though I wish it had more presets, and smoother zooming in or out when the phone is in landscape orientation. I would definitely recommend MonitorYourWeight.

MonitorYourWeight is perfect for what I need- an easy to use app that tracks my weight. It gives you all the info you need to see exactly where you are on your weight loss journey. You can see graphs showing your progress, estimated times to achieve your goals, stats showing the rate at which you are losing weight etc. It has many more features if you are interested, such as a whole bunch of body measurements and I titration with other apps etc.

I recently started a diet to lose some weight and I came across MonitorYourWeight. I’m by no means a health nut or an exercise guru or anything like that so some of the features on the other apps didn’t really appeal to me too much.

This one though, with just a few minutes I had set up my weight and target weight and a nice little graph with other statistical info to show if I’m on track or not. After using it a few weeks I must say I enjoy the simple yet useful information that is provided as I go along my weight loss program.

I was introduced to graphs when using the Noom program. When I stopped Noom I lost access to my graph -that’s when I found “MyWeight”. I like it for its simplicity. I have found using a graph over time lets you see your losses and plateaus. I for one have long plateaus between weight loss. It is so easy with weight loss to just throw in the towel when the scale doesn’t move. But seeing the plateaus on the graph- knowing if I ride it out weight loss will come again was a game changer for me. Also a great tool for people who weigh everyday to maintain a steady weigh.

I’ve use all the apps and this one really stands out because it’s so simple and shows all the stats to help keep me motivated. I love being able to customize my goals and see the calories and time projection. Seeing the progress and time to goal is so motivating too, and the graph view is perfect. I love the lines that compare your progress to your goal. Thank you for this awesome and free tool!!

One suggestion - would be awesome if this could link to push data to Apple health app, I like keeping my weight updated there too and that would save a step.

MonitorYourWeight does exactly what it says- it monitors your weight. Very simple and easy to use. It’s my daily go-to every morning when I get on the scale. I use another app to log my meals and to weekly report my weight. But MonitorYourWeight is essential to my daily weigh-in. Easier than keeping a written log. I like that it has a pin lock and, after upgrading to premium account, it syncs between my devices. I also like the choice of colors for my scale and the graph lines that show my progress. I highly recommend MonitorYourWeight to anyone who wants an honest account of your weight loss journey. Highly recommend!!

I've used MonitorYourWeight off and on over the past two years to support my weight loss goals and have enjoyed watching its evolution into a full-featured, easy to use tool. With its help my BMI is down to 22.5 and still falling 👍

Update after another year or so. I reached my weight goal and continue using MonitorYourWeight to avoid backsliding. Check and record my weight once a week, usually Mondays. If I see a trend that I don’t like, I check it daily. Just being aware of my weight causes me to make better food decisions and keep my weight in a healthy range. (I’ve tried using detailed food diaries, but they are too tedious for me)

I am loving MonitorYourWeight, it's helping me keep track of how my weight fluctuates day to day. I am using the notes a lot, to keep track of the total calories ingested, calories burned, net calories, my workout, ounces of water, vowel movements, sleep hrs, menstrual period, etc. Things that influence my weight. I wish they could do something where you can have those options by default were you just enter the numbers for those things I mentioned above, that would be super awesome!!!

I lost 30 pounds for no medical reason or reasons. After almost 100 lab, x-rays and seeing various Doctors, I was given a pill that increases your appetite. So I needed to keep track of my daily weight for the Doctor

So far after 2 weeks I have gained five pounds and MonitorYourWeight does a great job of following my daily weight and I highly recommend it. Thanks for MonitorYourWeight.

by HJBoos

I have really enjoyed MonitorYourWeight. There’s a ton of apps on my phone, but only 6 or 7 that I use everyday. And, after reading research showing that those who merely checked and recorded their weight each day lost more weight and kept it down. This year I tried it and found that I will have lost 50 pounds this year alone. Thank you!

by ThomHall

I’ve tried lots of weight tracking apps. This one is the best for those who do intermittent fasting. I like how MonitorYourWeight allows me to set a goal, then it draws a graph of the path to success. Best of all I can see a range that I should shoot for which is a huge help. I really hope the developer keeps updating it by making the UX a little cleaner. Functionally, it’s exactly spot on. Great job.

by CrazyAmy76

I’ve been using MonitorYourWeight for several years now and I love it! It’s simple and user friendly. I love that I can track my husbands weight as well as my own with multi user option AND that I can set each of us our own color background for quick user identification! I’ve tried numerous other weight tracking apps, but hands down this is my FAVORITE!!!

I was looking for an app that would track my weight loss as I was tired of trying to figure out how much weight I lost with pounds and ounces. Not only does MonitorYourWeight do that but it also keeps a running history of my weight loss so I can visualize my progress. It even has a graph with graphs out my progress as well. I also love the projected goal date.
