Baritastic

Hi, just started using Baritastic, I'm a little confused. In the weight logbook, what does the "moving average" mean. Is the average that other ppl weigh ? It makes no sense to me.

I’m glad we are all confused on that because I saw that and my “moving avg” is always higher than my actual weight so what gives?

Overall I really like the app though. I like the milestone goals and the weekly average and all the other stuff.

Summary. The weighted moving average(WMA) is a technical indicator that assigns a greater weighting to the most recent data points, and less weighting to data points in the distant past. The WMA is obtained by multiplying each number in the data set by a predetermined weight and summing up the resulting values.

Moving average weight mode uses a trend predictor to predict what your weight is, and this usually results in a pretty smooth downward line. Instead of plateauing for 6 days and then losing 0.6 all at once, moving average weight mode is more likely to say you're losing 0.1 pounds all 6 of the days.
It is also known as "happy scale".
