You’re putting in the effort to lose weight. True Progress goes beyond simple smoothing, turning your weigh-ins into clear trends, early warnings and an Outlook gauge that helps you see when to keep going and when to adjust. ONE HIGHER READING SHOULDN’T TAKE THE WIND OUT OF YOUR SAILS A moving average smooths the ups and downs. True Progress looks for changes in direction and pace, showing them as clear sections of trend. A higher weigh-in can sit above a falling line. Seeing that bigger picture can make it easier to keep going. A STEADY TREND. A CLOSER LOOK WHEN IT MATTERS. The main trend takes a longer view so you don’t have to chase every daily wobble. Second Opinion checks more responsive trends to see how many detect weight loss, and whether that support is building or fading. Unusual Readings shows whether your latest weigh-in stands out from your own normal fluctuations. Your Outlook gauge weighs the available signals together, with the reasons underneath. It can flag a developing slowdown while your main trend is still falling, or highlight encouraging signs while it’s still rising. You get a clearer reason to keep going or take a closer look at your routine. GIVE YOUR EFFORT SOMETHING TO AIM FOR An estimated goal date makes your destination feel more tangible. Milestones give you smaller wins along the way. When you reach your goal, or need a break from losing, maintenance helps you follow your weight within a range you choose. WHY THIS IS PERSONAL For four decades, my late father’s statistical software helped manufacturers distinguish normal variation from meaningful changes in weight. In 2016, he used it to analyze my weigh-ins during a weight-loss challenge in Australia. It helped me keep going when a higher number shook my confidence, and reconsider my routine when progress changed. Alongside diet and exercise, that understanding helped me win the challenge. I built True Progress to put that kind of clarity in your hands. Paul, creator of True Progress STANDARD: INCLUDED AT NO COST • Adaptive weight trends, early warnings, weekly rates and a seven-day projection. • Second Opinion, support for weight loss over time, Unusual Readings and your Outlook gauge. • Goal forecasts, milestone timelines and achievement celebrations. • Weight maintenance with personal limits and level-change analysis. • Interactive weight entry or Apple Health import, in kilograms, pounds or stones and pounds. • 17 additional Apple Health charts, including body fat, sleep, blood pressure and fitness, with moving averages and limits. • Notifications and Home Screen widgets to keep progress in view. • Shareable progress and achievement images, plus PDF reports for your healthcare professional. • Animated explanations, themes, light and dark modes, and adjustable text. No True Progress account needed. GO FURTHER IF YOU WANT TO Plus adds Momentum, What If and Rewind. A surprising weigh-in can be the first hint of a change. Momentum tests how your latest scale weight would affect your trend if it persisted for four more days. The result helps your Outlook judge whether that reading deserves closer attention. Use What If to try hypothetical future weigh-ins, or Rewind to revisit the past week and see how your outlook developed. Your real records stay unchanged. Pro includes Plus and adds advanced Apple Health change detection. See when your usual level shifted, by how much, and receive alerts even when that change stays within your limits.
