Syncing Weight from Withings Scale

Just wondering if there was a way to sync weight from a Withings scale?

I have things set up so that my weight measurements on my Withing scale are ‘automagically’ uploaded to my Withings account and from there I use Weemple WeightNet to sync that data to my Strava account. That seems to work OK, but so far it doesn’t seem to have transferred across to Intervals.icu

It may just be that I need to be a little more patient, but should weight data from Strava get imported into intervals.icu?

Thanks,
Al.

You need to go to /settings in Intervals.icu, click the “Weight Sync” field and change it to “Strava”. Then your weight should sync whenever an activity is downloaded from Strava. Intervals.icu stores weight on each activity to track history.

Thanks… I do have that set, and have just noticed that it does seem to update my weight on the ‘Settings’ page to be in sync with that from Strava (and therefore my Withing Scales), so the data is getting through the Intervals.icu, but the value and therefore plot on the ‘Fitness’ page (which is where I was looking before) hasn’t updated and still only shows the original weight values and a straight line.

See straight line for weight in screenshot attached.

Weight on settings page shows 160.9lbs from Strava, weight on the chart above is stuck on 161.7lbs

It will only “record” a new weight for the fitness chart when your next activity syncs. Thats probably the issue.

Thanks David,
It seems to be working now. I think you were correct (surprise surprise!) although it hadn’t updated after syncing yesterday’s (windsurfing) activity but once a cycling activity synched today the weight in the fitness chart updated as well.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Tx. I have just changed the /fitness page to use your current weight from /settings when plotting fitness into the future. Previously it would just carry the weight from your last activity forward. So now it will update immediately when your weight changes.

That’s brilliant, thanks for that… Although something tells me my weight might not be trending in the direction I’d like over the next couple of weeks! :slight_smile:

I have synced Apple Health to Strava. Does anyone know if this will pull weight from Apple Health -> Strava -> Intervals icu? (I have enabled Weight Sync)

Yes. If the weight is correctly updated in Strava it should be picked up each time an activity is downloaded by Intervals.icu.

Hi David,

With this configuration:

Is it possible so sync weight from strava (my scale is not garmin, that’s mean weight is updated into strava every day) but the activities from Garmin?

At this moment, activities are OK being garmin ones what I see, but weight does not sync from strava maybe because activity is not synced?

How can I import daily weight from strava and activities from Garmin?

Thanks!

Healthfit will also do this. I synced back a full year of weight data. Wish I could go back further actually and get my eFTP estimated for previous seasons.

I’m using IFTTT Applet “Withings weight to Strava” and it works

That should work fine. You weight should be synced from Strava whenever a new activity is received even if that activity is not synced because the Garmin version already exists.

I will turn that on for myself and see what happens.

Thank you David, it worked today! :ok_hand:t2:

@David , this doesn’t seem to work for me: When I have rest days the (daily updated) weights are correctly shown on the individual days on the activity page, but the Fitness graph of weights is “stuck” at the last value from a workout day.

I have fixed this. The old weight chart was using different data to the weight plot on the custom charts. I have replaced it with a “custom chart” like the FTP and FTP/kg ones:

Hi,
Sorry,
I can’t find this item in the settings. :upside_down_face:
can you help me please?

is this what you’re loking for? “Update weight from strava”

Are you using Withings?
BreakAway also supports updating weight from Withings to interval.icu & Garmin Connect


thank you very much, the option has already been set for some time, but the weights are not updated.
For now I use a Renpho scale, associated with ios health and then with strava.
I would like to switch to withings, they seem to be the most reliable in detecting physical parameters. Do you recommend it to me?

Sorry… I do not have a withings / Garmin scale so i cannot recommend.

So, strava has your weight correct? And it’s just not going into Intervals.icu from Strava?
