Central to these evidence-based approaches are increased physical activity, decreased caloric intake, regular self-weighing, and the tracking of these behaviors. Objective: This exploratory descriptive study surveyed adults who are legally blind to identify strategies related to tracking physical activity, diet, and weight. These health behaviors are essential components to evidence-based weight loss programs. We also identified areas where we can better support adults who are legally blind in their independent efforts to change these behaviors and improve their health. Methods: Participants (≥18 years of age) who self-identified as being legally blind were recruited using email announcements in low vision advocacy groups. They completed an interviewer-administered survey on the telephone and an in-person visit for standardized assessment of height and weight. Results: The participants (N=18) had an average age of 31.2 (SD 13.4) years; 50{\%} (9/18) had normal weight (BMI 18.5 to <25); 44{\%} (8/18) were female; 44{\%} (8/18) were Black; and 39{\%} (7/18) were Non-Hispanic White. Most participants (16/18, 89{\%}) used their smartphone to access the internet daily, and 67{\%} (12/18) had at least 150 mins of exercise per week. Although 78{\%} (14/18) of the participants indicated tracking their weight, only 61{\%} (11/18) could indicate how they tracked their weight, and 22{\%} (4/18) indicated they tracked it mentally. Providing individuals with a talking scale was the most consistent recommendation (12/18, 67{\%}) to facilitate independence in managing weight through lifestyle changes. Even though 50{\%} (9/18) of the participants indicated using an app or electronic notes to track some portion of their diet, participants reported challenges with determining portion size and corresponding calorie counts. Most participants (17/18, 94{\%}) reported using apps, electronic notes, smartphones, or wearable devices to track their physical activity. Although strategies such as using wearables and smartphones could provide measurements (eg, step counts) as well as recording data, they also pose financial and technology literacy barriers. Conclusions: Technology-based solutions were identified for tracking weight, diet, and physical activity for weight management. These strategies have financial and technology literacy barriers. A range of strategies for adopting and tracking health behaviors will be needed to assist individuals with varying skills and life experiences.
