Maxwell Lamb Fitness Guru Posts: 369 Admin Maxwell Lamb This member has no personal statement yet!	# Posted: 20 Sep 2006 21:02 - Edited by: max Hi all, traineo has over 10,000 members, a good proportion of whom are actively logging and using the site - as a result of this, we've accumulated rather a lot of data. We thought it'd be interesting and fun to give you all a better idea of whats going on in the background, and what's going on around the site. Obviously, we decided not to go down the path that certain other websites recently have of turning 'Big Brother' and exhibiting your every move, so instead we're showing some interesting, yet general, stats. So, without further ado, here's the link: http://www.traineo.com/pulse This has replaced the first page you see when you go the members page, because, as interesting as people whose surnames started with A were, they just weren't interesting enough (sorry guys!). We've also updated the homepage a little to include some of these stats (http://www.traineo.com). In our (humble) opinion, the 'Did you know?' box is possibly the best part of the page - Dd you know that 9080 is the total daily calorie intake by female traineo members from Russia in the last two weeks. That's as much as 11.69 miles driven in an Austin 'Mini'. Cheers, and hope you enjoy the new feature - any thoughts, post 'em here! Maxwell
Jeremiah Utecht traineo Fanatic Posts: 190 Jeremiah Utecht I am a contractor for a monolithic IT firm. This translates into a lot of time spent sitting. I have always been a big guy, but I am tired of being obese so I am going to utilize the power of community to hold my feet to the fire to stay active.	# Posted: 20 Sep 2006 21:17 AWESOME! I love the aggregation of data. Yeah I am geek, but so are a lot of my fellow Traineo members.
Christopher Harrison traineo Regular Posts: 46 Christopher Harrison Mathematics graduate, looking for direction in life... I think I've got it now. I love cycling and am pretty good. However, with a heavy heart, I've had to swallow my pride and accept that I'm just too old to realise my aspirations of the professional ranks. My backup plan is to become a cioccolatere (in Italia)... So I'll be keeping my cycling-up, to avoid the consequences of a sweet-tooth! After all, I still have it in me to get into the upper echelons of the amateur ranks.	# Posted: 20 Sep 2006 21:21 That's neat The silly facts are a nice touch.

David Robinson traineo Regular Posts: 46 David Robinson 30 years old just recently married. Been on that up and down roller coaster ride all my life. My biggest problem is sticking with things for a long time. Let try another round.	# Posted: 21 Sep 2006 00:22 Trivia ftw! Love the way the site is moving along
Maxwell Lamb Fitness Guru Posts: 369 Admin Maxwell Lamb This member has no personal statement yet!	# Posted: 21 Sep 2006 00:30 Glad people like it - we did it as a bit of a breather from the 'real work' of putting the diet interface together. By the by, if anyone comes up with anything else they'd like to see in the comparisons, do let me know, and I'll work them in (if (moderately) sensible!!!). Maxwell
Warren K traineo Newbie Posts: 19 Warren K I wasted too much time doing everything but working out. I hope to change that real soon.	# Posted: 21 Sep 2006 04:19 That's a great idea Max and it's pretty fun to read. Keep up the good work !
Ron Bell traineo Fanatic Posts: 119 Ron Bell With a family history of obesity, staying fit and losing weight for me are more than nice-to-haves: They're essentials.	# Posted: 21 Sep 2006 06:16 Very cool, indeed.
Brandon Wood traineo Fanatic Posts: 160 Brandon Wood My weight has gone up and down repeatedly in the last few years. I managed to lose a lot of weight before getting married 2 years ago, but have since gained most of it back. I hope to find new motivation on this site, and hopefully make some new friends. This time I want to lose weight and keep it off. I'm trying to not think of it as a diet, but as a change in lifestyle.	# Posted: 21 Sep 2006 07:54 That's a pretty cool new feature - thanks Max!
