This project can be used to send yourself a text message with your daily weight.
There are a number of dependencies you'll have to meet to use this project.
Here is what I suggest:
- A Withings wi-fi equipped scale (available on Amazon.com ~$80USD)
- An account at trendweight.com that syncs with your withings scale (free)
- You will have to have an AWS account with your email verified through AWS SES (free) ** I also recommend that you move your AWS SES account out of the sandbox
- You will have to have installed the AWS CLI and configured Boto3 (free)
In the dad_bod_text.py file you will see a number of standard PIP dependencies:
- pandas
- numpy
- requests
- time
- datetime
In the same directory as the Python script you will need a file called "weight_chart.xlsx" that has two columns. The first is the date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD and in the second column your weight lbs or kgs will work.
A simple "Python3 dad_bod_text.py" will do the trick
