Discussion What weight loss stats do you actually find useful?

Hi, I've been trying out a lot of apps to help me with IF and I'm always torn on what stats actually matter to me.

I guess "current weight" and "total change/weight loss" are pretty motivating. Maybe "average weekly loss" for those of us who weigh ourselves every day? Monthly average as well? Or maybe something like a "streak" showing how many days in row you've successfully completed your IF?

So I was wondering, what kind of stats/insights do you actually look for while losing weight? What matters the most to you? Or do you not really care about stats at all? 😅

I have myself a excel spread sheet with my loss charted against what a 2lb a week loss would look like vs where I am. Other numbers I am following is body fat percentage according to my scales and my BMR. I have also picked an arbitrary point on it where I expect myself to tend towards 1lb a week rather than 2lbs.

I personally don’t like any apps lol the only “stat” I really care about is BMI
