    Hi,

    What are 'Body Scale id' and 'Body Scale Key' found in Settings?

    Thanks,
    Ted

    I haven't finished the integration, but it is for the WiThings scale. See http://www.withings.com
    It's an Internet-connected scale with a nice push API which means that seconds after you step on the scale Slowgeek will automatically get your current weight and body fat index.

    I have that scale and it's, indeed, very cool. It works like a charm with Runkeeper, and I can't wait to see it integrated here!

    It's not actually very hard to do. The only hard part is figuring out how to display the data. Where would you like to see the data? As a separate weight over time graph in the "Summary Graphs" section? And it should obviously not be public by default, so I would also need a privacy setting for it.

    How about a separate tab, eg 'My Weight' or 'My Stats' (I'm not great at thinking about names for things.) If people who don't use the scale could enter maybe a couple of stats manually (eg, weight, body fat%) as well, that woul be cool and everyone could get something out of it.

    If you could integrate the http://www.tanita.com/en/bc1000/ Tanita scale that works with Garmin that would be awesome, but it looks like the Withings one is far more widely supported.
