Modify the weight for athlete on multiple Rides?

[Aaron Fillion]

Is there any way to modify the weight for athlete on multiple Rides, without modifying the weight on all the rides?

I decided that I would give Golden Cheetah another try, so I installed it and started to import my files.

It seems that the rider weight just uses the CURRENT weight if not defined per ride. So, it appears to me that the only way to get the correct weight is to manually update every single ride one at a time. Considering I have 1500 CSV and 1500 FIT Files, I don't exactly and to edit 3000 files.

I was hoping that I could just select a chunk of rides at a time and and change them all to one value....then do this for another chunk of rides.

Ideally, it would be great to just import a csv file, or data table with the weights directly in to the program, as I have the weight data in a spreadsheet right now. Or even if the weight could be defined under TOOLS > OPTIONS > ATHLETE for various time periods, that would work. Even if the rides were defined with a weight on import...that would help as well.

Did I miss something? or is there no way to batch edit the athlete weight in the rides?

Nothing you can do I'm afraid.

I'll take a look and see if we can change the 'weight' setting in athlete to a history so you can set a date and weight. It shouldn't be too difficult and this comes up all the time.

In the meantime you can manually enter your weight on withings with an arbitrary date (you don't need to own a scale for that).
Golden Cheetah can import from withings and uses the most recent measurement from withings, if no weight is defined for the ride.
I do it like this to have the overall trend (last year 72 kg, this year rather 71 kg).

Thanks for that -- I didn't know you could do that, its quite a neat workaround !

Adding the weight data to Withings then syncing Golden Cheetah seemed like a great idea.

So, I tested it with 5 values in Withings, and syncing to Golden Cheetah worked fine.

At first I was just going to add a few weight readings whenever my weight changed over the years, but then I decided to just add all the my weight data, as it was going to be faster to do that.

In two batches I added 5521 weight reading in to Withings, values starting in 1994.

After doing this, the data all appeared in Withings, but it failed to snyc with Golden Cheetah.

Here were all the steps I took:


1. Create Withings Account. Go to http://www.withings.com and Select Log in - Don’t have an account yet? > create your Account.

2. Go to http://my.withings.com/?force=3 select Share, then select "share on my website" a User id and Public Key will appear.

3. Open Golden Cheetah, select Tools > Options... > Passwords. Under Withings Wifi Scales, place the User Id and Public Key obtained from the last step.

4. Go to the following link https://withings.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201491477-How-can-I-import-data-from-other-systems-into-my-Withings-dashboard-

5. Download Import_Weight_kg.csv or Import_Weight_stlb_fatmass.csv, depending on which units your Withings Account is set to.

6. Manipulate your own data from a spreadsheet program to fit the import format needed by Withings and save to a csv.

7. Go to https://healthmate.withings.com/settings Select Import. Under Weight as CSV Select the Browse and navigate to your CSV with your weight.

8. From Golden Cheetah, Select Tools > Get Withings Data...


----------------------------------------------------
Withings Data Download
----------------------------------------------------

0 new on 0 measurements received.


                      OK

----------------------------------------------------

I tried the following:

1. Searched for a Withings file in Athlete Library > found nothing.
2. Deleted the metricDBv3 from your Athlete Library > still does not detect any new Withings Data
3. Delete the withings user info from Golden Cheetah config, closed program then re-added > still does not detect any new Withings Data
4. Generated a new Public Key from the Withings site and upated Golden Cheetah with info > still does not detect any new Withings Data

One thing I don't like is that Golden Cheetah is not reporting that there is a problem with the configuration when I delete the Withings configuration, it just reports the same 0 new on 0 measurements received message. So this makes it more difficult to track down where the issue is.

Where is the weight data from Withings suppose to be stored within Golden Cheetah?

Is there anything else that I can do to get the Withings import to work?

I have the feeling the problem is that I put too many weights in Withings, and the communication between Golden Cheetah and Withings is taking too long and timing out before any records are returned.

However, I really don't what to have to start deleting weights from Withings just to get this to work.

I do not know if it matters, but I currently have 2914 ride files in Golden Cheetah. I am using Golden Cheetah v3.10.
