What Is the Weight Lost Column?
The Weight Lost column inside the Compliance Tracker shows how much weight a client has lost within a specific time period.
You can now control exactly how this weight loss is calculated using two modes:
Overall Weight Loss (from the beginning of their program)
Weight Loss Based on Current Filters (dynamic, based on weekly/daily view & selected time range)
This gives you maximum flexibility depending on how you prefer to track progress.
⚙️ How to Enable & Configure the Weight Lost Column
Step 1 — Open Compliance Tracker
Go to Compliance Tracker
Click Fields (top right)
Enable Weight Lost column
Once enabled, a settings icon appears inside the column header.
Step 2 — Choose Your Calculation Mode
Click the Weight Lost column on "Configure" header to configure it.
You will see two choices:
Mode 1 — Since Start of Program (Overall Weight Loss)
What it does:
Calculates weight loss from the client’s very first recorded weight
Up to the most recent weight entry
Example:
Starting weight: 200 lbs
Current weight: 185 lbs
Weight Lost = 15 lbs
This mode ignores filters — it always shows lifetime progress since the client started with you.
Best for coaches who want:
✔ Big-picture progress
✔ Total transformation tracking
✔ Overall journey view
Mode 2 — Use Current Filters (Dynamic Weight Loss)
This mode is selected by clicking:
👉 Use Current Filters
When enabled, FitMetrics calculates weight loss ONLY using the date range currently active in the Compliance Tracker.
This works in:
Weekly View
Daily View
And supports these dynamic filter ranges:
Past This Week
Last 2 Weeks
Last 3 Weeks
Last 4 Weeks
Weight loss is calculated as:
First weight recorded in selected time range
→ compared to
Most recent weight in the same range
📌 Example — “Last 2 Weeks” Filter
If you select Last 2 Weeks, then:
FitMetrics looks only at weight entries from that date range
It finds the earliest and latest weight entries from the past 14 days
It subtracts them to show weight lost during this period
Example:
Weight 2 weeks ago: 190 lbs
Weight today: 187 lbs
Weight Lost = 3 lbs (last 2 weeks)
If a client has no weight entries in that time range → the weight lost will appear blank or zero.
🔁 This Works Live With Your Filters
This is the magic of dynamic mode:
Whenever you change filters…
Switching Weekly → Daily view
Switching Last 2 Weeks → Last 4 Weeks
Changing the date range
…the Weight Lost column automatically recalculates for each client.
