Progress and weight
What are Seasons, and how do I start one?
By the Platify team
A season is a stretch with one focus: Cut, Maintain or Build. Each season has its own target weight range and its own daily calories. Open your Progress tab and tap Your seasons to see your current and past seasons, which is free on every plan. Starting a season is part of Premium, and it unlocks once you reach your first goal.
What are the three kinds of season?
- Cut: lower body weight at a sustainable pace.
- Maintain: hold a comfortable range while life continues.
- Build: add muscle gradually with a steady surplus.
How do I start a season?
On your Progress tab, tap Your seasons, then Start your first season, or Start a season if you have had one before. It takes three steps:
- Pick Cut, Maintain or Build.
- Set your target weight range with the two-handle slider. Platify shows a rough date you might reach it.
- Check the daily calories and target range, then confirm.
When you confirm, your daily calorie and macro targets change to the season's numbers, which is one of the reasons a target can change.
When do Seasons unlock?
Starting a season needs Premium, plus one of these:
- you have reached your first goal weight,
- your goal is to maintain weight, or
- you have started a season before.
On Premium, if none of those apply yet, Start a season shows a note that your seasons unlock at your first goal. Keep logging your weight so Platify can see when you get there. On the free plan, Start a season opens the Premium plans instead.
Can I run more than one season at once?
No. One season runs at a time. Starting a new season ends the current one, and the finished season moves into your history under Your seasons.
Frequently asked
Do I need Premium for Seasons?
To start a season, yes. Viewing your seasons on the Progress tab is free on every plan.
Why can't I start a season yet?
Seasons unlock once you reach your first goal weight, or straight away if your goal is to maintain weight. Until then, Start a season shows a note that your seasons unlock at your first goal.
What happens to my targets when a season starts?
Your daily calorie and macro targets change to the numbers you confirmed for that season.
