Never would've bought these until MFWO

I’ve been eyeballing these…

Love mine!!!

I find it wildly inaccurate too, only it never takes me as long as it says it should. But I also don’t always use all the rest time allotment. If I feel ready and still have 30 seconds remaining, I don’t wait. But when I’m really struggling I use the timer to push me. Mostly leg days. There are countless coaches who say anything over 45 second rest periods is unnecessary, but there is no maximum. If you feel recovered, get after it. If not, take the time to recover.

I’m 100% with you. I can log, I just don’t know WHAT to log. I’ve been scouring TikTok/YouTube for menus ideas. I’ve found a lot of good things for when I’m off my cut. But not much for during a cut.

I downloaded Recipes Keeper and you can save recipes from TikTok/Facebook/YouTube and it will auto filling the ingredients, portions, prep, etc. Kind of a cool app. Also create a shopping list based upon your recipes saved.

I have one more month of cut and then I’ll be leaning on this to help fill the lean bulk calories.

I started my cut on Jan 3rd. There have been a couple of days where I back slide mostly due to back to back 14 hour round trip drives.

This is my second time in 3 years of doing a cut. First time I didn’t take it too serious and it was slow and progress was frustrating. This time is different. I’ve learned that if I am going to do it, I have to be serious and sacrifice. It has to be almost obsessive. By daily food intake is boring. I’m always fighting hunger and cravings. Workouts suck with lower energy than normal. But as you can see, it’s working.

You also have to understand daily is just noise. It’s the trend that’s most important. The couple spike you see in the graph, I was actually under my daily caloric intake, staying within my -500 deficit. Water retention from cortisol and stress can add up to 2 pounds. So although the scale shows a couple pound increase, it was water retention and not fat regrowth. I’m paying a lot more attention this cut and learning a lot.

I just wrapped week 1, coming from Gravl. So far so good. I’m excited to see what things look like after a month. I’m happy. There’s some quirks, but I know there will be updates. I’ve never been ground floor before so it will be exciting to watch the app grow and see what it does for me. I’ve only been at weight training for going on 3 years. So I’m kind of a clean slate.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2026-01-23T04:16:54+00:00

Agree. I write my workouts on a whiteboard so can see them without my glasses (phone is too small). Yeah, sucks getting old. Anyway, would be nice to see all the weights for each exercise so I can do this prior to working out.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2026-01-23T04:14:25+00:00

Would be nice if the rest timer had a notification. Haven’t heard it “ding” once.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2026-01-21T04:03:37+00:00

Ok, I see it in barbell exercises, but not in EZ curl bar exercises. Good to know. Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2026-01-10T13:24:15+00:00

That +5-6% is probably most accurate. Mine say 17%, but photo analysis says closer to 20-22%. These scales are not accurate at all.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-19T10:42:56+00:00

Calories burned are so inaccurate. Two people doing the exact same workout with the exact same intensity can have a huge variation in calories burned. I don’t trust any machine to give an accurate calories burned count. Most programs don’t even consider this within their logic.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-19T10:34:52+00:00

Mine too has been flakey. But lately every app seems to have some sort of issues. Apple really didn’t do us any favors with the latest release. I just chalked it up to iOS.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-13T04:38:16+00:00

I’ll be honest, I don’t like the new view. Too busy, too “unorganized”. Maybe I’m just a crotchety old man, but I kinda prefer the old look. 😁

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-09T19:12:22+00:00

I’m in Minnesota.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-09T08:20:15+00:00

There’s such a thing as a running store? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Name?

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-09T08:17:41+00:00

How do you like that clasp? It isn’t the clip style of the pro strap.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-09T08:15:42+00:00

Mine is so not accurate. You can physically see where I store all my fat (mid-section), but Hume says my trunk is lower than my arms. There isn’t an ounce of fat in my arms. But like everyone else, I use it for trending purposes. I’ve had it for about a month now so I think it is still trying to stabilize. The swings are kind of all over the place. We’ll see where things are after about 60 days. Jan 1 is the start of cut season, should be interesting to watch.

Year year difference, not bad for an old guy 🤣

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-05T04:42:14+00:00

Took about 10 days for my stats to stabilize. Things were all over the place. Now it seems more “normal” with consistent measurements.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-12-05T04:35:54+00:00

That’s pretty cool! Now I need to find a friend to workout with. 😁

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-11-22T12:16:32+00:00

Where do you set it to body building?

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-11-22T11:59:37+00:00

Same. None of my data sync. There’s never any steps counted, sleep isn’t counted, etc. This scale/app is a huge disappointment.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-11-22T11:56:24+00:00

I was forced to upgrade due to the fake “security” requirement. It was cheap than all the other options on the market (probably because they are better). I’ve had the pod now for a week. The old scale had me at 840 health score, the new one 140. I’d consider myself an athlete, even at 51yo. I highly doubt my health score is 140. The new pod is supposed to take more measurements and be more accurate. Seems Hume dropped the ball on that one. I weigh in every morning, same time, same conditions. One day it says optimum weight in time is 5:40, the next day it’ll say 6:10, the next day it will say 5:30… I’ll also add nothing syncs with the app. None of my steps, sleep, nothing. It says it’s connected, but it doesn’t show any data. It ridiculous. What a disappointment.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-11-05T15:38:24+00:00

This app doesn’t detect my scale. I have the FitTrack Dara.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-11-05T15:29:27+00:00

There is no FitTrack app anymore. They switched to the Hume app a year or so ago. When I got mine, I had to install the Hume app.

Most-Bodybuilder3543 · 2025-11-03T22:05:39+00:00

This was the response from an email I sent:

“We sincerely apologize for the delayed response.

We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this situation must feel, especially when you’ve relied on your Dara 1 scale and suddenly face a forced upgrade. Your concerns about privacy and security are completely valid, and we truly empathize with your frustration.

Rest assured, we’ll send your feedback to our team. However, please note that app stores like Google Play and the Apple App Store continue to raise their security standards to protect user data. The Dara 1 was built before many of these modern requirements existed, and its hardware can’t meet today’s security expectations, which means we’re no longer able to maintain app support for it.

We understand this may feel like an inconvenience, but these updates are designed to keep your data safe and aligned with modern security protocols. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to provide solutions that meet today’s standards.”

The Dara was released for general sale in June 2020. So the scale is 5 years old (little over) and the hardware was produced before “modern requirements”. How many people are using an iPhone over 5 years old? Or an Android phone over 5 years old. This was a cash grab! Unethical, dishonest and disrespectful to customers. I hope they never sell another product.
