New Features

Improved Registration Process

I streamlined the registration process. Now when people register for a new account they will be asked to answer the Profile questions so their profile is created at the same time their account is created.

New users also now get logged in automatically and taken directly to the Fitness Log.

I also simplified the Fitness Log for new users. Instead of showing all the data available I now select only the most useful Fitness Log Options for new users.

You can now reset your own passwords

If you forget your password you can now reset your own password.

You can now change your own passwords

If you want to change your password you can now do that too. Just click the Change Password link at the bottom of you profile page.

Missing data now gets estimated

In the past if you didn't log data every day the numbers that the site calculates would become useless. Now when you skip dates in your fitness log the data for those dates is interpolated for you based on the two surrounding dates. See this thread for more information on how I estimate the data.

The best part of about fixing this particular problem is now the list of Biggest Losers is much more useful since it isn't skewed by invalid data. I've been planning some new Biggest Loser features but I was holding off until I got this problem fixed.

Let me know if you notice any problems

If you notice any problems please post a message in the Help Forum.

Update: I also added some new columns to the "Biggest Losers" list.
