Windows 8’s default Health & Fitness app mostly contains articles on fitness and nutrition. However, it has a useful weight-tracking feature that lets you log your weight whenever you want. The app then automatically plots these values on a graph, helping you keep track of your weight over a period of time.

Open the Health & Fitness app (a heart-shaped icon), click the Health Tracker tile (in the Fitness section), then click the Start Tracking button at the bottom left. In the Weight field (see screenshot below), enter your weight (you can change the measurement from kilos to pounds by clicking the ‘kgs’ button). The date is set to the current day by default. Enter any relevant notes in the Note field (optional), then click Add. After a few weeks, go to the same Health Tracker tile, click Add Measurement at the top and enter your new weight. You’ll now see your weight change automatically plotted on a graph.
