How can I add historic weight information?

[leilamashea]

I would like to manually add my previous weight log from another app into the FitBit app so I can have a comprehensive view of my body weight over the years. I tried to do this by pressing the plus sign, however it will not let me and defaults to the current month. Is there a way to mass upload this via a CSV or excel file?

Hello @leilamashea, thanks for joining us, it's great to have you on board! 

At this moment, it's not possible to log in weight in bulk from another app or a CSV or Excel spreadsheet. However, you can manually log in each weight measure using the Fitbit app by tapping on the Weight tile and then on the plus sign. Once here, you'll be able to select the date of the log and your weight and body fat.

If the date is not saving correctly, please log out from the app, restart your phone and log back in.

Additionally, it could be a great idea posting your insight as a suggested feature for the Fitbit app to be able to upload a CSV file or Excel spreadsheet. This is truly the best way to make your voice heard and get the attention from the development team. 

I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and keep me posted in case you need anything else!

It only allows me to add weight from the past 2 months

Hello @mjhaberman80 and a warm welcome.  What happens when you try to log something more than 2 months old?  Using the directions, I can spin the wheels to any date and log a weight.  If I have a weight for that date, a pop-up says I have a weight for that date and asks if I want to replace it.

I'm only given the option to record from December 17, 2019, forward.

Hello. I am having the same issue. There is no wheel.  Instead, a month-long calendar pops up. I'm allowed to hit the left arrow twice to go back 2 months before the arrow disappears entirely. 

I don't mind manually entering old data... i just want to be able to do so! I have weigh-ins at my doc's office going back 10 years, way before I started caring. I'd like to see this all graphed out in my fitbit app.

The app won't let you enter old dates when creating an entry, but it will let you enter any date when editing one.

So, you can just create a dummy entry with any date (e.j. today) and then edit it to enter the correct date.

It's really dumb that you have to do it this way, but at least it's a workaround...

Release 3.26:

My web weight page prior to entry of bogus weight in the iOS app

My iOS Log Weight Screen for 1/1/2011 - 26 months before previously oldest date -  of 300 pounds - no, I never weighed that much. 

Sync'd phone - new Web Weight Page image:

<<edit>>

On the web, I can select February 7, 2011 using the year and month dropdown and then the individual date with in the monthly calendar displayed and book the weight.

And it books to the date I selected:

<<end edit>>

So, for me, it can be done.

Good luck.
