My smart Fitbit Scale has also been tracking my weight but I wanted to see this in context of the other goals. In 2016, my average was 82.5, while last year it decreased to 81 kilograms. On one hand, it is the result of more conscious eating habits, on the other hand it is the consequence of a brutal infection during the summer when I lost 6 kilograms in 2-3 days.

My personal favorite is the smart sleep alarm which ensures me to wake up at the best possible time – even when my months-old baby girl wakes me up during the night in the room next to me.
