App has been super helpful so far. Have lost 20 pounds already. I recommend creating your own paper version and posting it somewhere you can see it every day. Weight loss requires a lot of gradual changes to habits which takes time and it can take a while. Weight loss may be slower in the beginning while habits are being modified and then will pick up steam. The progress tracker assumes that weight loss happens at a steady pace through time and so the 'progress score' can be discouraging. Progress score may show that you are behind schedule while you in reality have plenty of time to get the weight off. Use your personal judgement to decide if you can pull it off in the time you have left. Dont let a low progress score derail you!
Hi Lucia and congratulations on your success so far in your HealthyWager challenge! While our progress tracker is there to help you stay on track to hitting your personal weight loss goal (and winning that huge cash prize!), it is merely a guide that we hope participants utilize as a resource. As you mentioned, weight loss is different for everyone and we're currently in the process of updating our tracker to include more information and options. We appreciate your feedback and will take your input into consideration for future enhancements. If you have any specific suggestions or further feedback to share, please reach out to us at product@healthywage.com. Also, if you haven't updated to the latest version of the app, please update it now to get the most current features.
