Mova uses your current weight for energy estimates. It doesn’t track your weight over time. Update it when it changes, so your calorie estimates stay realistic.
Movement considerations are shown here but can’t be changed in the app.
Target weight
Go to Profile & settings › Goals & personalization › Target weight. You can also choose I don’t want a numerical target.
A target must be below your current weight, and not below the healthy range for an adult of your height. Otherwise Mova shows This target isn’t below your current weight or Mova can’t use this target, and you can choose a different target or continue without one. Your target gives context. Your plan focuses on the walking.
