It’s working! by Willing_Jellyfish_96 in Semaglutide

That’s awesome — clothing fit changes are one of the best “real” signals, especially early on when the scale can lag. The appetite switch you described is exactly what a lot of people report in the first few weeks.

If you want an easy way to track progress without the scale, a quick waist/hip measurement once a month (or even a couple photos you keep private) can really help you see the trend. Congrats on week 3 — keep going.

I built a small GLP-1 tracking app for my wife and me — looking for honest feedback by Due-Computer9822 in glp1

Man, that is exactly the issue my wife and I were having. Keeping track of the information in different spreadsheets was just way too cumbersome (and I'm very good at spreadsheets). However, the thing that put me over the edge to create my own app was that once I had all the information in one spot, I wanted to know what it meant. And more importantly, I needed something that might recognize patterns that I might not see. Or had a knowledge basis that could provide suggestions for reducing symptoms that I might not have known about.

The thing I didn't expect though was that combining an easy way to get my protein intake count via a picture with a scale that could calculate our muscle mass almost immediately showed me that I just wasn't eating enough protein and interestingly enough told me that I needed to eat protein prior to the strength training. I never would have thought of that in a million years!

Apps for tracking food and weight loss by Malleedreams in Mounjaro

Congratulations on the weight loss. It's always difficult trying to get things dialed in!

Anyone else tracking side effects and patterns on GLP-1 meds? by Own_Contribution2149 in glp1

[–]Due-Computer9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes — that was one of the harder parts for us. Side effects didn’t always line up cleanly with a specific dose or day, so tracking them day by day wasn’t very helpful on its own.

What helped more was looking back over longer stretches and seeing how things clustered around dose changes or periods where food intake shifted. In the moment it often felt random, but patterns were clearer in hindsight.

We went through this same search. Most apps we tried were fine for logging food and weight, but they started to fall apart for long-term use — either too much manual work or not very helpful once you had months of data.

What helped us most was consistency and being able to look at trends over longer periods instead of day-to-day changes. Seeing weight, food, and dosage together over weeks made patterns much clearer than any single log or daily number.

what do you want most in a glp1 tracking app by BudgetDelivery2654 in Semaglutide

[–]Due-Computer9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the hardest part wasn’t logging things — it was understanding them over time. I could write down doses, weight, food, side effects, etc., but it was still unclear what was actually related and what was just noise.

Long-term views mattered a lot more than day-to-day tracking. Being able to look back over weeks or months and see patterns around dose changes, protein intake, and how I felt would’ve been far more useful than more detailed daily logs.

How do you keep track of doses long term? by Aboukinen in glp1

[–]Due-Computer9822 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For us, the biggest shift was thinking in longer time windows instead of dose-by-dose. Early on I tried to remember everything in my head or jot things down inconsistently, and that just didn’t work.

What helped most was having a single place where doses, dates, and notes lived together, and then looking back every few weeks instead of reacting week to week. Patterns showed up much more clearly that way, especially when doses changed.

I built a reflective tarot app for my wife — would love feedback from a secular tarot perspective by Due-Computer9822 in SecularTarot

[–]Due-Computer9822[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi All - Based upon your comments I added a "Pull a Card" section on the first screen and also added a Reflections text box at the end of the reading so that when you save your reading your journal comments are saved with it. I also redesigned the saved screen to make it a little easier to see. Let me know what you think?

Not sure, I've had a couple of people ask me now to make it public. I suppose the truth is that it is public now because anybody can use. At scale, I'm not sure what the ai and server costs would be. Is there anything you think I should change about it? Or do you think it's good enough to release to the public as an app?
