STEP 3
Set up weight_rawdata
It is strongly recommended that you weigh yourself at the same time each day (eg. straight after waking up before going to the bathroom) to limit any large weight fluctuations and provide a more accurate weekly average.
Below are the options for tracking your daily weight. Each option comes with a description on how this method works, who it would work well for and any requirements.
