Extrapounds.com ... Your Comments are NEEDED for the new release. Thanks

[John]

Dear Phensters,

I'm very pleased to announce you that we have launched our latest release of Extrapounds.com. ( www.extrapounds.com (http://www.extrapounds.com))

Firstly, I would like to thank all of you for your comments and support. Many of you have given us a very good feedback on our previous release and ... we've listened to you ;)

What is extrapounds.com?

Well, it's a new FREE site that allows you manage your weight loss.

It allows you to do the following:

1-Record your weight and other measurements online and generate graphics, ...

2-Create (VERY) nice TRACKERS that you will be able to use in forums, your home page, your emails, ... These trackers are very easy to use. You won't need to generate the code each time you change your weight. Just update your weight in your account at extrapounds.com and your tracker will show the new info immediately.


3-Create a personal WEB LOG (also called blog) to record all your weight loss experiences. This web log will be your personal weight control center where your friends will be able to encourage you and see your progress.

4- Upload personal pictures that you will be able to use in forums, web pages etc ...


We have invested a lot of time and the result is here: more than a thousand of users have already signed-up and are currently posting.

Extrapounds is a FREE web site. You don't need to take phentermine or any other weight loss med to use it.

We are currently developping new existing features that will be implemented soon. Believe me, it is difficult to finish projects on time ... but we're doing great ;)

So, if you're serious about losing weight, you must sign-up and get your free Extrapounds.com (http://www.extrapounds.com) account.

If you like extrapounds.com and feel it could help your friends, don't hesitate to spread the word ;)

Terrific job on this first of all John. :) and second I am truelly glad you guys got this set up.
Thank you, sites like extrapounds.com help keep us motivated.

[leighleigh]

Thx, John.... I've signed up & it's really a great site. Although I need to tinker w/it more to get my ticker on over here, lol.
Thx for everything u do!

[erchicky]

Dear john, Im having a lot of trouble logging into the site. In august I signed up, received a password and even was excited about the site. Now when using the same password can not get in. ANy suggestions? Even tryed to create a new account. Have logged some info in, but it was in the summer....thanx

[nynavae]

I have a blog there, and I like the look and features so far. I am pulling my hair out, however, that there's now way to do a hard return (and create a paragraph space) withing blog entries. Is that something you're working on?

It would be nice to be able to see dates next to blog entries when getting search results too. Just a suggestion...

But nice that you have created this excellent tool for weight loss tracking!

[John]

Thanks for your comments. We'll take your remarks into account.

erchicky, you have a PM

Take care,

John

1- We'll add dates next to blog searches. Good point
2- Can you please tell me more about the problem related to the hard return? I have no problem with it. Please send me a PM if you want.

Take care,

John ;)

[nynavae]

I wasn't very clear. When typing, if I hit 'return', I'm taken to the next line in the box, sure. BUT, when viewed as a webpage, all the words run together in one big stream. For example, here I can type a line

hit return twice and ta=da, there's a nice break between the lines of text. MUCH easier to read. Like a paragraph break.

Also, I have yet to get anything to bold. I've highlighted it and clicked the 'bold' button, but when posted it's never bold.

New problem though, and a biggie as far as I'm concerned...length of post. I just poured my heart out into a couple of paragraphs (that wouldn't have appeared as paragrahps anyway), only to be told the length was too long and it not posting. Frustrated, I clicked 'preview' to see if that would show me where the 'allowable' part was, so I could consider editing, and it timed out. I could not get the post I had just typed out back.

I didn't realize the blog there had a size limit per post. I could start an updated blog-of-sorts here as this board allows more space to type than that one. I may be a minority in this, and although I love the tracking ability and the concept, I really want more of a journal capability.

[John]

Hi nynavae,

Thanks for your comment. We have identified the problem and are going to fix it asap. I'll keep you posted. It is related to explorer ...

Take care,

John
:gulp:

[nynavae]

It's fixed and looks great. Now I can make paragraphs! I have bold text! Thank you. I will be using this even more now.

[Lots to Lose]

John-

Can you enter your measurements on extrapounds.com and keep track of that progress? I looked for that function and did not see it. Thank you!

Cyndi

[gemmy1]

I like to see a chat room that can be used all the time. Anyone chatting on yahoo or msn? let me know.

[DavidsGirl]

Hey John... I was really excited to see the new upcoming releases to be added to Extrapounds.com. Do you have an updated status of those additions?

[rinksgal]

I am on msn.... and I have yahoo, but don't never use that one...I stay online on msn and aim...I haven't said a whole lot on this message board yet... I have been reading alot of post and taking it all in.. Trying to get some inspiration from the site... I want this weight thing to work so bad!!! I see so many people with such great sucess and I want to be one of them!!! Everyone seems so great on here!! My husband and I just talked tonight and I told him about this message board.. and about the things I've been reading.. He brought up about us eating so late and both of us drinking nightly! I've got to quit eating late, and drinking at least through the week..Hell I drink up some peoples daily calorie content!! I'm sure I would lose alot if I just cut that out!! I feel like everyone will think bad of me for this, but hey this is my life and I need help too, right??

[nynavae]

Your 'contact me' links on individual blogs doesn't seem to be working correctly. It will pop up and continue to let you type in a note, etc., but says 'fields not complete' or something along those lines when hitting 'submit'. It's as if the code generated to type in is not correct. I've made sure I'm typing in the right number again and again, but it will not send an email through the system.

Improvements are showing over there already though! Great job.

[OctoberBride]

Hey rinksgal, I just noticed your post on this thread. I don't think bad of you. I love to have a couple of glasses of wine every night. I'm going to cut myself down to one glass per night and then one every other day. Good luck on your weight loss success.

[Deanna150]

I am kinda Mad with extrapounds.com I went to update my weightchart. Could not log in. Thought that maybe it was me who had forgotten. I did the option by email instead. Cause I only have one email addy. Well... it says I am not a registed.

So I email you guys, and i get this

Then 2 days later I go to update it again.

ARGG Same thing. So I emailed you guys again and I go this:

I am really sorry for the confusion but your username is: Deanna150, so
this should be right now.

Apologies again,

Louise.

Thats what I thought it was in the first place.

HMMM Well today Feb, 4th. It's not working again.
Please fix this problem. I dont want to make another name. All my progress is one this one.

Thank You

[HelloPenny]

When do you plan on releasing the body tracker? I am looking for something to help me track my measurements.

[newgirl]

Hey Guys....I'm not on phen but want to lose about 80 pounds and don't know if I should try phen or not.......can anyone give me some suggestions????? thanks a bunch !!!!

[nynavae]

You've done some improvements - so far they are great.

I love my extrapounds blog - it is a great place to let off a little steam or just catalog progres. The ticker is most useful.

I wish I could visit my blog and click straight on 'log in' or something from that blog, without having to click to home, then log in, so and and so on. Minor, but usability being what it is.

Keep up the great work. And for those of you who don't have one, I recommend it. You can record what you eat, or just use it to keep personal thoughts in. Or even just use the tracker and handy graph. I am hoping as it grows, so will the community feeling over there.

[Timirose]

I'm enjoying extrapounds.com. I've been posting a food diary and a calorie count daily there, plus any comments that have been on my mind for the day.

[John]

Hi,

nynavae: Thanks for your comments. we are going to put a login box directly on the blog

Here is what's coming next week:

- Food log (yes, it will include JC's food too :D )
- exercise log
- other meeasurements log

We are currently testing all these options an plan to release them Monday 27th at the latest. We'll keep you posted anyway ;)

Take care,

John

[ang1]

I would like some help to set up an account. I've tried but I don't even know what a blog is so I can't provide the proper information that it asks such as a description, of what?! Me? cause I tried that and it was wrong. All I'm interested in is a weight tracker. I know, it's pretty pathetic but I'm not a big computer person. Please help!

[Louise2006]

Hi ang1,

Thanks for the post, I have sent you a private message.

Thanks,

Louise.

[PirateQueenApril]
