Send yourself a daily text message with your weight.

Dad-Bod-Text

This project can be used to send yourself a text message with your daily weight.

Dependencies

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.

Run the script

A simple "Python3 dad_bod_text.py" will do the trick
