Weekend Project: VisualizeFit.com
Way to exclude mainland Europe through your short-sighted decision to use Imperial units.
There's simply no valid reason (and hacked in a weekend doesn't cut it) to store units in Imperial, let me choose, as as an engineer I abhor laziness in building such sites, in 2012, more than ever I18n and L17n are more important than ever, even within sites only offered in English language.
(plus the maths on converting weights is more sane with metric units, I just don't get it)
Nice project.
Would post it to reddit.com/r/loseit
That is a community of people losing weight, and your app would really be a hit with them.
Seems to be targeted at people who want to lose weight. It would be nice if, when you chose a target weight higher than yours, it would show someone who has gained weight through muscle (rather than fat).
I understand the need for the social sharing widgets, but they feel really obtrusive at the top of the page. Presumably at that point of reading the page you don't yet know what it is you're being asked to share?
I dunno, this is probably my personal preference more than a professional opinion, but I would suggest moving them below the example image.
Best of luck, it looks like a great inspirational tool!
I LOVE this, seeing before/after photos is the most motivating part of dieting, for me at least!
You should include a dropdown that says whether they used a specific type of diet, 'healthy eating & exercise', 'atkins', 'weightwatchers', 'dukan', 'cabbage soup' ! it would be quite interesting to see the results.
I understand most people trying to become more fit are overweight, but I entered in 175 lbs. as my starting weight and 190 lbs. as my target weight, and I was disappointed to see that I was only show people who dropped down from 300+ to 190 lbs.
What about those of us who are thin to begin with?
Could be cool if you didn't only work with lbs/feet/inches instead of metres/kgs.
Interesting idea. Two pieces of feedback:
1. I am a tall-ish person and care the most about height compatibility.
2. Add a time period option. For example, going from 220 to 190 in 60 days isn't like 180 days.
Hi Nice project you hacked this website in a weekend? It's pretty cool
Nice project!
