Whether you're losing weight, building muscle or just staying accountable, Periscope shows you where you're really heading, without the noise. SEE THE REAL TREND Your weight naturally jumps around day to day. Periscope's smoothed trend line cuts through the fluctuations so you can see true progress.

Drag across any chart to explore day by day, and share a report with friends. APPLE HEALTH SYNC Use a smart scale? Connect Apple Health and your weight history comes in automatically. Weights you log in Periscope are saved to Health too, so your other health and fitness apps stay up to date.
