Weigh-ins and your weight goal

Your weight feeds Gauge's goal math, so keeping it current keeps your targets honest.

Logging a weigh-in

Go to Settings → Health Profile → Log Weight. Enter the number in your units (pounds or kilograms) and save. Your Current Weight row updates immediately and the new number flows into your target calculations.

Syncing with your health app

• iPhone: with Apple Health sync on, weigh-ins from a smart scale or other apps flow into Gauge automatically — and weigh-ins you log in Gauge are written back to Apple Health, so everything stays in one place.
• Android: with Health Connect sync on, weigh-ins flow into Gauge (read-only — Gauge doesn't write back on Android).

Either way, Gauge always uses your most recent weight from any source.

Weigh-ins do double duty now: beyond keeping your baseline current, your weight trend is half the evidence Gauge uses to learn your real maintenance from your results. A few weigh-ins a week is enough — without them, that learning politely waits.

Controlling your pace

If Gauge calculates your targets for you, the Weight Goal setting controls how aggressively you lose, as a share of bodyweight per week:

• Gentle — about 0.3% per week
• Standard — about 0.5% per week
• Max — about 0.7% per week

Gauge holds you to this — it never runs a deeper deficit than the pace you picked, even on rest days. During an event training block, the same tiers apply via the block's "weight during the block" setting, and the deficit pauses entirely during your taper.

If you're on My own numbers mode, there's no pace to set — your targets are exactly the numbers you entered.
