Add body measurement feature

[Monique65]

Can you please add a feature to track your body measurements: chest, waist, hips, thigh, and arm? I would like see my progress in inches +/-. When I'm not losing weight, I want to make sure the body inches are still going down. Thanks.

Hi @Radkateford. Thanks for explaining why you'd like to add and track your body measurements along with your weight in the Fitbit app. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. The status of this request has been updated as "Under Consideration", so don't forget to add your vote to show your support!

It is my understanding that the Fitbit app once had the ability to manually add blood pressure and body measurements etc...

Will this be coming back? Be nice to keep all my health info on one app. Just like the other options (food, water...)those who don’t use it can disable. Just a spot to manually input would be great. Thanks

BMI is not necessarily the best way to know if you're at a healthy weight.

Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to add body measurement feature. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". I hope to see you around.

Make it a complete fitness tracker and bring back body measurements PLEASE 

[louy13]

I would so love to be able to track inch loss on my fitbit. So often weight stays the same or increases so having a way to log and see inch loss would be so inspiring.

Yes please add body measurements.  I am currently using a different website to measure and calculate bmi. I don't understand why this isn't in Fitbit already. Especially as this was first suggested years ago.

I would love for this feature to be added back, I also think it would be great to allow us to add progress photos as well!  I'm really hoping the google partnership opens new doors to better tracking features!

In my case, I am attempting to build muscle and the weight gain from that makes my actual weight on a scale difficult to interpret. Body measurements would help me not only determine whether I am losing fat, for example my waist size but also increasing muscle mass in my arms and legs.

[LilChelleBelle]

yes please add a body measurements section! 

[mirtai4]

The Body Measurements would be very helpful since the BMI is so outdated and not really helpful.

Ability to record body measurements. (Bust, waist, hips, etc)

There should be a place to track your body measurements because you may not be losing weight while gaining muscle, but the body definition and measurements do change.  This is a feature Fitbit is missing out on for sure.  Who wants to track things through two separate apps.  I'd like to submit a request to bring this back as well.

[Sred4d]

I posted asking for this feature as well. It would be nice to keep all information in one app for reference.

Just expressing my support for this feature too. 

More basic and kind of more important than all the other fancy features that you guys are implementing.

I too would love to be able to add my waist circumference (maybe thigh and arm circumference as well) in the same tile as weight and BF%.

I've been going to the pool 3 times a week for a couple of months now and, although the scale is not moving down, I have noticed that the definition of my body is changing.

I really think it's part of the same journey.
Please, consider adding this feature!

[Sred4d]

Thank you for adding your comments. I really hope enough people show their support for this feature to get it added.

Just another request to put body measurement back on the dashboard.  I need something other than weight to keep me motivated.  During the menopause it is difficult to lose weight, but you can change measurements and view these in a positive way.  Important for mental health during this transition in life, and to feel a little control during an uncontrollable time.  It would certainly help those in a similar situation to me.

Sometimes we measure some personal metric such as biceps circumference, chest, skinfold, etc. in order to track our progress. How convenient it would be if we could log these in a fully customizable log on the dashboard.
In the 'log' tab, we would give a name to the new metric to track, set the units, and have it plot automatically like others.
