1. A biometric monitoring system comprising:

  • a biometric monitoring device to measure a weight of a user, the biometric monitoring device including;

    a housing including a platform configured to receive at least one foot of the user and capable of supporting the body weight of the user;

    a body weight sensor, mechanically coupled to the platform, to generate body weight data which is representative of the weight of the user;

    processing circuitry, disposed in the housing and coupled to the body weight sensor, to calculate user weight data which corresponds to the weight of the user, using the body weight data; and

    communication circuitry, physically coupled to the housing, to;

    receive user identification data, wherein the user identification data identifies the user or a portable activity monitoring device, andtransmit the user weight data to data storage which is associated with the user identification data; and

    the portable activity monitoring device including;

    a housing having a physical size and shape that is adapted to couple to the body of the user;

    a sensor, disposed in the housing, to generate sensor data which is representative of activity of the user, andcommunication circuitry to receive physiologic data, wherein the physiologic data is based on the user weight data; and

    processing circuitry, coupled to the sensor and the communication circuitry, to calculate activity data using the sensor data and the physiologic data.
