How does my One know my weight?

[matahari_1946]

I don't recall ever entering my weight in the fitbit app or by logging into my dashboard online. In fact, there are no logs for weight or body measurements. But my app dashboard has my weight, which is incorrect, listed there. Any ideas how it got there and how it came up with that number? Is there any way to delete that? I'd rather not even have it show on my dashboard when I sync my One.

Hello @matahari_1946,

Welcome to the community!

When you first create your account, it prompts you to enter your weight and I don't believe that you can skip it.  The reason for this is that Fitbit uses your weight to calculate your calorie burn.

If you don't want to see it on your dashboard, simply hover (move mouse) over the weight tile and click on the little gear icon on the lower left, then click on the little "trashcan" icon to remove the tile.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the welcome and reply! I've had the fitbit for almost three years, just never visited the community. 🙂 There isn't a weight tile on my dashboard when I log in online (I only have two; sleep and steps) but it's there in my app. Weird. This number only showed up today and has never been listed before so I was suprised to see it there and not sure where it got that number from.

Hi @matahari_1946. When you first registered your tracker at Fitbit.com, you were asked to fill out certain information about you (age, gender, height ...) and your current weight was part of that.

Your dashboard is customizable. I don't know which version of Windows you're running, but if you're using Fitbit Connect for Windows PC (as opposed to the Fitbit app for Win 10), you should see a small icon at the top left of your screen made up of nice little squares within a cicle - clicking on it allows you to add tiles to your dashboard. Hovering your mouse over a tile will cause shadow icons to appear at the bottom of the tile; and one of those icons will look like a gear wheel - clicking on it will flip the tile over and the top right corner will have a waste disposal icon that you can tap to delete the tile.

Thanks for the info. I use a Mac so all I'm doing is logging on to my dashboard through fitbit.com. I only have the two tiles showing; sleep and steps. So there is no weight tile displayed when I log on using my computer. The fitbit app on my iPhone was where I was seeing the erroneous weight displayed. I found where to delete that so problem solved. 🙂

Thanks for the input, everyone!
