Thanks for the wording prob, ill look at it.

But i got to admit, my organization is pretty darn good  </description><comments>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</comments><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2008 01:10:54 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reply by Michelle Muffin</title><link>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</link><description>From brief browsing~
First off, good job! It looks like it took a lot of effort and you already have members c:

It looks like it&amp;#039;s targeted at a younger audience than people who are trying to lose weight.  To me, the site doesn&amp;#039;t look streamlined and respectable, but fun and childish.
Some of your wording is a bit off.  For example, under &amp;quot;diets,&amp;quot; you say, &amp;quot;Those having tried this diet!&amp;quot; which sounds awkward.  Maybe &amp;quot;Those who have tried this diet&amp;quot;?

Generally I think a lot of the important stuff is in the main body of the content, but on the logs page specifically I would argue that the various kinds of information you can log all share equal importance and that&amp;#039;s kind of diminished wit...</description><comments>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</comments><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 23:51:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reply by mike m</title><link>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</link><description>Cliff thanks for your input! I come from the web2.0 generation where the text is made a little larger, perhaps i should tone it down.

Collecting customer specifications should be the first step, before dev starts! (Yeah right, when does THAT happen? Heh...)

Without actual usability numbers, I would expect that the forums are what drives multiple visits per day, whereas logging diet/etc. are a one time shot (twice if you log weight in the morning and exercise at night like me) so yo...</description><comments>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</comments><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 18:55:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reply by mike m</title><link>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</link><description>

The reason I ask for opinions is because..I want to know what people use the most on fitness sites. Is it the community forums? Articles? Actual fitness/diet Logger?

It seems community forums are what drive people to sites likes this, thus I would to change accordingly, having my forum the prominent feature, unless people most often than not track their workouts/food....</description><comments>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</comments><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 15:32:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reply by Rachael M</title><link>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</link><description>Dang!

On the right side on the calendar, click a certain date to go back to. To go back / forward months, click the arrows on each side of the month listed

Which custom data do you need to enter? the calories?</description><comments>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</comments><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 15:06:18 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reply by Brian Thompson</title><link>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</link><description>Hey Mike, I checked out the site and it looks cool. One thing I noticed that was different than traineo is how excercise is entered. Let&amp;#039;s say I worked out for 20 minutes on an elliptical trainer and according to the machine which I put my data into, I have burned an estimated 236 calories. I didn&amp;#039;t see a way to enter that custom data like i can on traineo but maybe I missed something. Also, it doesn&amp;#039;t look like one can go back to previous days to enter data which is helpful if yo...</description><comments>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</comments><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 14:57:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reply by Minu ~</title><link>http://www.traineo.com/15_5982_0.html</link><description>And, that&#039;s a pretty spanky site there, Mike.  I can see you&#039;ve put heaps of work into it and kudo&#039;s.

FWIW, I too find the fontage a lil on the huge side.

All the best with it, sir.

I love all the extra fields you have for tracking like body fat % and max weight on the big 3, etc. but that much more information means more effort heh.

&amp;quot;kinda similar to traineo&amp;quot; Heh, if you say the names fast enough they&amp;#039;re indiscernable!
