Weigh-in reminder on WhatsApp
Updated .
A weigh-in reminder on WhatsApp is a message on the same day and time each week, so your numbers are comparable from one week to the next. With Mindie, send "every Monday at 7am remind me to weigh in before breakfast" and it arrives every Monday morning.
Weight moves around from day to day with food, water and sleep. Weighing at random times makes those swings look like progress or setbacks. A fixed slot, like Monday before breakfast, gives a fairer picture.

When to be reminded
- Once a week, on the same day.
- First thing in the morning, before eating or drinking.
- At a monthly check-in, to look back over the log.
Why weigh-ins go off track
- Different times give different numbers, and the trend gets lost.
- A bad week leads to skipping, which makes the next one harder.
- Numbers aren't written down, so there's nothing to compare.
Habits that help
- Same scale, same place, same time.
- Log every reading, good or bad, by sending it to Mindie.
- Look at the trend, not the day. Ask for your log once a month.
How Mindie handles it
- Set the weekly reminder with a day and time.
- Send each reading to your weight log, and set a goal if you want to track progress.
- Ask for the log any time to see how it's going.
What Mindie doesn't do
- It isn't medical or diet advice. Talk to your doctor or a dietitian about targets.
- It doesn't connect to scales, fitness trackers or health apps.
- Reminders and logs stay in your own chat.
Questions
Does Mindie connect to my smart scale?
No. Mindie doesn't link to scales or health apps. You send the number and it keeps it in your log.
How often should I weigh in?
That's up to you and your doctor. Many people weigh in weekly at the same time, which smooths out day-to-day swings.
Can I use kilograms or stone?
Yes. Log the number in whatever unit you use; Mindie keeps it as you sent it.
Can I record my weight in the chat?
Yes. Send it as a note, like "weight 72 kg", and ask for your notes when you want to look back.
What's a good time for a weigh-in?
The same time and conditions each time make numbers easier to compare, like first thing in the morning. A doctor can advise on your own goals.
