My weight change
Trials report weight change as a percent of starting weight. Here you can work out yours the same way, set it beside a trial, and keep a private log that charts your weights over time. This is arithmetic and record keeping, not a target.
Quick check
Enter two weights to see your percent change. Add a trial to see how it sits next to that trial's group averages.
Your result will appear here.
Your number is one person's result. It is not a target or a pass-or-fail score, and it can be compared with a trial average only loosely.
Private progress log
Add a weight now and then. The log charts them and shows your change from the first entry. Entries are kept only in this browser on this device. They are never sent to the Atlas or anyone else, and you can erase them at any time.
No entries yet. Add your first weight to start the chart.
Keep in mind. Body weight moves up and down from day to day with fluid, food and timing, so one reading says little. The trend across weeks matters more than any single entry. The dashed lines mark 5, 10 and 15 percent below your first entry, the cutoffs many trials use when they report how many people reached each level. They are reference marks, not goals. Clearing your browser data erases the log, and so does the erase button below it. Download a copy first if you want to keep it.
How the numbers are worked out
- Percent change is (current weight minus starting weight) divided by starting weight, times 100.
- Pounds and kilograms use 1 kg = 2.2046 lb.
- Trial averages come from the papers listed on the trial results explorer, where every figure links to its source, with the limits of each study.
To see what trial groups lost in pounds, use the trial results explorer. For where your weight sits on the standard charts, use BMI and body measures. Talk with your own clinician about what a sensible pace and goal look like for you.
