I have been dying to try the Withing Wireless Scale<\/a> for a number of years now. \u00a0I think it’s so cool that it keeps track of your weight for you and through the app, you can even see a graph that shows your strides and follies. \u00a0Even better, the app is password protected! \u00a0Yeah! \u00a0The Withings WS-30 scale is Withings’ \u00a0first WiFi scale that allows you to track your weight wirelessly through your smartphone or tablet (Apple IOS and Android (Black scale only)).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have been tracking my weight for a month now and have even set up profiles for my two kids to keep track of them. \u00a0They think it’s fun and can hop on the scale at any time and the scale recognizes who they are and sends their weight via Bluetooth (if my iPad is nearby) or WiFi, if it’s not. \u00a0There are a few occasions when the scale can’t figure out who weighed in, but I will get alerts on my app and based on the weight, can assign the weight to the right person.<\/div>\n

The Withings App<\/span><\/h2>\n
The Withing App shows me my weight and how many pounds to lose this week based on the goal I entered. \u00a0However, since the Withings Scale was created with the ability to share, it can send your data to other health\/fitness apps or import data into the Withings app. \u00a0For example, we recently reviewed the BodyMedia\u00a0<\/a>LINK armband<\/a>, which measures physical activity, sleep, and calories. \u00a0Once I synced up my BodyMedia account with my Withings account using my Withings App, I now also see the calories I burned and how much sleep I got. \u00a0So when I gain or lose weight, I have a fuller picture why that could be the case. \u00a0It also accumulates all of your calorie and sleep data so you can see your progress on a bimonthly, monthly, quarterly, half year, or all time period. \u00a0You can also purchase the\u00a0Withings Blood Pressure Monitor<\/a>\u00a0and keep track of your heart readings within this app for an even fuller picture of your health.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I linked my weight from the Withings Scale to my BodyMedia<\/a> account so I can see my weight in that app as well. \u00a0But there’s more apps to link to. \u00a0You can send your weight to the Lose It!, RunKeeper, Daily Burn, Target Weight, and Endomondo apps.<\/div>\n
