It is taking one argument, which is the weight, and then it does: - logging in to MyFitnessPal, saving the weight, logging out - saving the data to InfluxDB - starting a web browser with the grafana dashboard and results

My motivation dashboard in the Grafana looks like this:

I didn’t cope with saving to Endomondo yet but I am providing you mentioned bash script which you may find useful:

If you have done automated Endomondo weight saving, let me know!
