TargetWeight also enables the tracking of physical activity (steps, calories, activity) and wellness parameters such as smoking, hypertension and fruit & vegetable consumption in addition to blood test results like cholesterol and fasting glucose. Self-tracking raises awareness and coupled with easy-to-read red/yellow/green indicators, TargetWeight helps lead to better daily decisions so that users get into a positive cycle becoming focused on living a more active, healthier lifestyle.

“TargetWeight boosted my motivation which is very important when trying to lose weight. I lost 50 pounds and I’m still in control!” reported Jean-Yves Cajelais, a TargetWeight Pro user with an impressive weight loss success story that he shared on Tactio’s fan page.

“I tested TargetWeight for over a year and I realized that this tool motivates me considerably and helps me improve my lifestyle. The app makes you focus on taking regular measures and the layout and coloring of its stats and charts provide a broader perspective on your health tracking. Quickly my target was to lose weight slowly, and to make sure that the result would be maintained for my long-term benefits. In reality, I logged my weight daily into TargetWeight and by doing just that I lost 0.4 pounds weekly for 52 consecutive weeks.” said Emmanuel Gadenne, co-founder of Quantified Self Paris.
