Why My Progress Line Doesn't Match My Last Weigh-In

You stepped on the scale, logged 150 lbs, and your progress line is sitting at 152. Or your projected weight for tomorrow says 151. That's confusing — here's what's actually going on, and why it's working as intended.

The Progress Line Is a Trend, Not a Dot-to-Dot

The smooth curve on your chart isn't drawn by simply connecting your weigh-ins. It's a trend line — calculated from your full weight history to show the direction your weight is actually heading, smoothed out so that one heavy meal, a salty day, or normal daily fluctuation doesn't create a jagged, misleading chart.

Day-to-day weight can swing 2–4 lbs for reasons that have nothing to do with fat loss or gain. The trend line filters that noise so you can see what's really happening over time.

But It Does Try to End Where You Are

Pokii uses your most recent weigh-in to pull the end of the progress line toward your actual recorded weight. If your reading looks consistent with your recent pattern, the line will land right at your number and the projected line picks up from there.

The further your latest reading is from your recent trend — and the more variable your weight has been — the less the line adjusts. This is intentional. A single reading that's way outside your normal range is more likely to be a temporary fluctuation than a sudden real change, and the chart treats it that way.

So Why Does My Projected Weight Show Higher Than I Weighed?

The projected line starts from wherever the progress line ends. If the progress line ended slightly above your most recent reading — because that reading looked like a dip outside your normal range — the projection starts from that higher point and trends toward your actual recent weight over the following days.

This isn't the chart saying you're going to gain weight. It's the chart accounting for the fact that one low reading often bounces back a little before your real trend catches up.

When Will It Catch Up?

Usually within a few weigh-ins. The more consistently you log, the faster the trend line reflects your actual progress. If you've had a real change — new dose, different routine, dietary shift — the line will follow it, just with a short lag as the algorithm gains confidence that the change is real and not noise.
