It has been years and this is still not implemented.  This is ignoring a large population (People who weight train, Pregnant women, underweight people, elderly individuals and more).

Hi there @DriesDeSchepper! I'm very happy to say that this request has been implemented, so now you can actually set up a weigh gain goal on your Dashboard. Robot wink

 

Thank you very much for supporting this idea. Any other ideas you might have, feel free to share or vote for them, if it’s already suggested in the Feature Request Forum. Thanks!

Hi @Mcore, that's great news! Is this available in the iOS app too now?

Hi @NxJNightHawk! This option is available on the iOS app. All you need to do is log to the app > Tap the Weight Tile > Tap on "edit goal" on the Weight Log > Select "Gain" and setup your new goal. Here is an example in pictures so you can have a better idea:

I hope this helps you out! Robot wink

@hassi2k7 and @JLMcK4 I still do not have that information. If there are any news about it, this will be published in our website or Community.

I want the ability to have a weight gain goal. I am underweight. Why isn't this an option? Is it just on iOS?

Why does it say implemented when the food diary still won't let you set a weight gain goal?

I don't want to be annoying or be "that guy" but this is becoming such a pain. When I first bought my fitbit, I was told it would help me track weight gain. I'm happy to hear it's on iOS, but it's still not on Android, which I use. Based on other apps, that typically means there won't be an android update for another few months. At this point, I just want to return my fitbit as it's not really doing what I need it to do.

>From what I can tell it's barely even on iOS. You can set weight gain as a
goal but it won't let you tailor your food plan for weight gain. It's
frustrating.

JLMcK4, I know what  you mean.  Baby steps. 

 

I'm glad it's out for iOS.  Now the wait for android....Hopefully the next update has it. 

 

Long overdue update.

two years later and still no support for weigh gain plans... listen to your clients, fit bit. Your service would be complete.
