Extrapounds.com officially presents the launch of version 1.0
Extrapounds is proud to announce the end of the beta period of our website.
We would like to send a big “THANK YOU” to all extrapounds users for their patience and dedication during our development stage, and for all the valuable feedback they have sent us.
In this new period we will be adding new features to our services and improve the current ones in the hope that they will continue being useful to all our users.
Thank you once again and please do not forget that your ideas and feedback are always welcome!
Please note that you can now enter your height and lifestyle in the profile section of the administration panel. This was requested by several of our users as weight is relative to height, and you felt it was important that this information should appear. Please update your profile section and add this information!
Extrapounds.com has added great new features to its website, to help you record and control your weight loss journey in the easiest and most effective way possible!
From your administration panel you now have three new options: FOOD LOG: In this section you can select food (including Jenny Craig foods) from an extensive database, record what you have eaten and see your daily nutritional intake, including calories consumed. ACTIVITY LOG: Now you can compare your daily intake with calories burned, by recording your exercise. Simply enter the exercise done, time of day and number of minutes spent doing the activity. BODY LOG: As well as recording your weight, you can now monitor your progress by measuring specific body parts. As your weight may vary due to other factors, these measurements allow a greater control and a more specific record.
NEW LOOK! As well as these fantastic new options, extrapounds.com has had a makeover and has a new healthy, slimline logo! Please look out for it on all our communications.
Feedback: Please let us know how you find the new features and if you have any suggestions. This is the best way for us to keep improving and enhancing the site for you.
Please note that there have been a few technical problems with the contact form that have now been resolved! If you were having difficulties in trying to use the contact form to post a comment to another user, then please try again. The problems you were experiencing before were due to the form not recognising or accepting characters such as !?,. This has now been changed - so happy contacting and commenting!
JANUARY JOINERS CREATE RECORD NUMBER OF EXTRAPOUNDS USERS!
January 2006 recorded the highest number of new members and posts since the creation of extrapounds.com. More and more people discovered the best way to find support and motivation online last month, as New Year resolutions were put into practice. This fantastic news means that your online community is going from strength to strength, giving every user the chance to find a blog friend to share weight loss experiences with. This increase has also urged us to provide you with more tools and functions to help you along the way, so keep your eyes peeled for future updates!
The extrapounds website time has been modified to meet a new TIMEZONE, the time is now syncronized with Eastern Standard Time (EST) of the United States.
This new change will affect all posts in the weblogs and the weight records. Please take into account that this modification may cause some "odd" behaviour during the next six hours.
The website time has been set six hours earlier. The date and time of this post reflects the new time.
In an effort to continuously improve Extrapounds.com, we have changed the format of pictures you may upload in our Extrapounds.com Gallery. Account users may now upload images measuring 360x360 pixels.
Previous pictures uploaded were 180x180 pixels. If you have already uploaded pictures or photos, please upload your pics again and delete previous pics to get a sharper and clearer image!
