How to dial in the app to help you analyze your build phase

step 1: set it color neutral

We love Happy Scale, but red = bad and green = good can mess with your head when you’re trying to go into a build and intentionally “be in the red”.

Open your HappyScale app:

Select Settings ➡️

Select Appearance ➡️

Set color theme for losing weight to “Blue”
Set color theme for gaining weight to “Blue”

Step 2: update your settings

Open your HappyScale app:

Select Settings ➡️

Select Weight Goals ➡️

Set objective to “Gain weight”
Set “Starting Point” to the date you started your build
Toggle ON hide entries before start date (this has HappyScale hide your weight data prior to your build so you start with a clean slate)

update your settings Pt 2

Open your HappyScale app:

Select Settings ➡️

Select Weight Goals ➡️

Select My Goal Weight ➡️

Input my goal weight as the topline weight number you’re willing to gain in the build.

Select “Stay Around”
In the goal weight range, put “2.0 lbs.”

update your settings Pt 3

Open your HappyScale app:

Select Settings ➡️

Select Weight Goals ➡️

Select My Goal Weight ➡️

Input in the I commit to gain field the midpoint of your target rate of gain.

For example: most of our intermediate trainee females are targeting around a 0.2 - 0.4 lb/week rate of gain, so you would then select 0.30lbs/week
Feel free to split your goal into as many segments as you’d like!

takeaways

If you’re just “looking” at day-to-day weigh-ins without a lens to look at the data through, it’s easy to make incorrect assumptions based on the “visual” scale fluctuations.

In our cohorts and 1:1 coaching, we have built-in trends modeling into client check-in forms so our clients can smooth the noise out of the fluctuations.
