Not right now, but I imagine we will add that if enough people want it. Thanks for asking.

@sawolf01: Thanks for noticing. We were having a few bugs with the grades that should be fixed now. On a technical note, we have a process that goes off in the background to make sure your days exercised in the past week is set properly, and it wasn’t always working. I think it is working now.

@Jotun: You can adjust your goals by clicking on them on the main nutrition page. The goals we set are just suggestions If you know your body better, you can adjust them as you see fit. Then, you can get that A!

(Remember, I can’t give medical advice)

I had similar problems in the past. Stress can do this to you (startups are a lot of stress!). Also, my B-12 was low, which can cause you to be tired. You might look into going to a doctor just to make sure nothing is physically wrong.

Jordan, well done. Thanks for your contribution. I put up a post on the Gyminee blog about it as well.

Thanks, again.

Hello,

You can change the body metric you want to track by clicking on the Show My… and then clicking the one that you are interested in. Then, if you click “Weigh In” you will be entering data for that specific body metric. Let me know if you have any other problems!

@Gimpy Granny: I don’t think the challenges will require flash. I can’t promise, but it isn’t in the game plan. Working on Challenges tonight, I can’t wait to release them. I really think it is going to be a fun way for people to get motivated to exercise!

@IUp: Our developers are all using Firefox 3 and haven’t come across these problems. I just tried those actions, and it worked without a hitch. Could it be that you have some plug-ins that are interfering?

It seems to me like you will be doing quite enough cardio. I would look through the Gyminee routines to find one with a lot of body weight exercises. Like you said, pushups, pullups are good. I like body squats and lunges too. You might invest in some dumbells so you can do curls, shoulder press, etc.

I like “The Twelve Week Plan” a lot. Unfortunately, it only has the first two quarters!

There are quite a few beginner routines on this site, so I suggest browsing them and finding the best! Good luck getting starting.

They are coming along nicely. I don’t want to promise a specific date, but we are working as fast as possible! We have had a lot of interest in them, not just on this site, but as we have discussed a lot with our other TechStars .

We are also going to try and make it easy for you to invite and promote the challenges that you create, because we see Challenges as a great way to get more people interested in Gyminee!

@lizanneh: We do our best to calculate calorie burn, but it is hard to be really accurate. We let you input the treadmill’s value, so I suggest that you do that when you have it.
