3 months ago Add option to track your own body weight. Make sure the users know to weigh themselves in the mornings after urinating, in order to get as consistent results as possible. Graph showing body weight over time?
@Mafeffe This is a feature I would love to have as well! Others have requested the same, see https://github.com/andreped/IronFlow/issues/143.
I can try to draft a solution on Tuesday/Wednesday.
What's problematic with this is that I would need to store this, most optimally in a different table in the database. When doing so the database schema changes, which introduced challenges when users attempt to upgrade their app - if this does not work, the user will be unable to upgrade and only way to upgrade would be to delete their app (losing all their data), and then installing the new version from scratch -> this is not what we want.
I will therefore take my time implementing and testing this before I add it, to make sure nothing gets lost for future upgrades.
Some exercises are done with body weight (for example pull-ups). Exercises should have the option to add "body weight" as the lifted weight, and could then get the number directly from the person's set body weight at that time.
I have been thinking about this exact feature as well. I am not sure how to most optimally add it though, so I have been hesitant to add it. But I might have a crack at it, after I had added support for saving your weight and tracking it over time :]

Exercises should have the option to add "body weight" as the lifted weight, and could then get the number directly from the person's set body weight at that time. Exercises should also have the ability to add more than body weight. I do weighted pull-ups with 15 or 20 kg hanging in a chain around my waist, therefore making me lift body weight + 20 kg. However, without the up-to-date body weight option, if I were to gain 5 kg and still lift 20 kg some months later, it would look like I have stagnated strength-wise, while in reality I lift 5 kg more.
