Several small updates today:

  • Minor changes to the menu to simplify and make it more clear
  • Changed the wording of workouts and meals on the log entry pages to read "Load" vs. "Add" to hopefully clear up some confusion as to how these work (i.e. you must create a meal or workout via the Personalization menu options before you can Load a meal or workout into a log entry.)
  • If you have a weight goal set, you will now see a new line on your metrics chart on the home page that shows your target weight.
  • Along the same lines, on the goal detail page, you will see a line that goes from your starting weight to your target weight along with a line charting your actual weight fluctuations during that time.
  • Added steps to the cardio log as requested by a few members
  • Added the ability to override the METS value for a cardio exercise on the log entry screen. This was requested and is useful when you know the workout was harder or easier than what the application is calculating for calories. For example, I log my mountain biking under cycling, which calculates calories based on average speed. Since my average speed is much lower on the trail, the system calculates a lower number of calories burned. But, I know that the effort required is much higher, so I might modify the METS value accordingly.

As always, Please let me know what you think and alert me of any bugs/errors. Thanks!

Thank you for the target weight line and the METS override! The site continues to amaze me. Your hard work is appreciated.

I like the actual weight vs target weight chart under the weight goals. But it would be nice if the date intervals were the same, instead of only the days that you have recorded, immediately followed by the day of your goal.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into doing something like this.
