How the Withings WiFi iPhone setup works

leave a comment »

First of all if you’ve yet to purchase your Withings scales you might be aware that one of the coolest features is your ability to connect your weighing scale to your iPhone our Android.

This is achieved via a free service which links your WiFi scales to the internet.

Your web dashboard is the extension of your WiFi scale.

Then, from your web browser, or from the free iPhone  app supplied by Withings,  you’ll be able to log on and see all your weight data.

And don’t worry, it’s totally confidential, so no one else will see how much you weigh!

leave a comment »

Okay, as I write it’s only Tuesday night, but Wednesday is my weigh in day. So at 7 am tomorrow morning after my shower but before my breakfast I’ll be stepping on my Withings Wifi body scales to see how I shape up, or I hope down, this week.

Needless to say I’ll be checking out my weight graphs on my iphone, I haven’t quite got Withings working on my Android phone quite yet.

Have switched to using android phone with Withings WiFi scales

leave a comment »

I’ve been pondering switching to a google a Android Phone for a while, but one thing stopping me was the idea of not being able to see those clever Withings graphs showing my weight loss progress.

Fortunately I recalled that Withings body scales also work with the newer Android cellphone operating system.

Panic over.

Out at the gym and was showing off the result of having my weight chart on my iphone courtesy of the Withings body scale gadget this morning.

All were suitably impressed. And I’ve lost weight!

What I really like about Withings weight scales

leave a comment »

One of the thoughts that ran through my mind as I invested in my first pair of Withings weight body scales was whether these would end up being anything more than just a gimmick.

I mean seriously. Does anyone really need their bathroom scales to interact with their  home computer or mobile phone for that matter?

Answer: Of course not!

So now that I’ve owned these Withings scales for a while do I think that they are still nothing but a gimmick?

Actually no. Quite the opposite in fact. I’d actually go as far as to say that I am starting too wonder why all weighing scales aren’t automatically connected to your home WiFi and reporting in your weight.

For that matter, why doesn’t your fridge liaise with your online grocery shopping list and order up the stuff you’ll need to save you the hassle?

Actually I believe that could be on its way next. Until then I’ll carry on allowing my bathroom scales to report into my PC, Mac at work and iPhone. And in turn do my best to shed those few extra pounds just in time got my fridge to stay automatically adding my favourite stodgy desert to my grocery via my WiFi too.

Summer is a great time to enjoy your Withings body scales

leave a comment »

With beaches and bikinis the fashion wear of choice during summer holidays across Europe, I’ve been showing off my iPhone app which talks to my Withings scales.

Around the bar at our holiday hotel, I’ve become quite a star. Yes I know what you’re thinking. I sound like a geek and all that. But what so many weight  conscious people are interested in is of course looking great around the pool.

And what the Withings scales give you is real motivation to succeed and do better with your own weight loss.

So I show people my Withings weight iPhone graphs and this seems to inspire people to get on with their own diet.

Actually I’m never quite sure whether people are more interested in losing weight or simply tracking their weight loss on iPhone widget thing.

Weighing in and Tracking my body weight mass on my iphone

leave a comment »

Travelling on the bus into work I was checking out my latest weight chart from my Withings body scales and to my surprise the guy siting next to me had the exact same Withings app as me.

When I said in my previous post that your weight is safe when using a wireless set of scales. I should add that you do still need to watch who and where you look at your weight app.

Will other people be able to see my weight if I use Withings body weighing scales?

leave a comment »

The fact that your Withings body  weighing scale is able to talk to your PC, Mac or iPhone might lead you to wonder whether other people will be able to hack in and discover your body mass index too.

A worrying thought for some. But a quick check of the Withings operating instructions reveals that simple wifi protection via security settings is all you need to prevent that from happening.

Withings weight  spying panic over then!
