Gyminee Food Search Engine for Firefox

Posted by Andy - 06/20/08 at 03:06:00 am

I was just browsing through some of my Google alerts, and saw that Jordan Lyall created a Firefox custom search engine that searches the Gyminee food database. I just installed it, and it works great. Thanks, Jordan.

Here is what it looks like in action:

This tool makes it even easier (and faster) to track your food intake on Gyminee. I highly encourage you to check out the Gyminee Food Search Engine for Firefox.

New Group Stats Feature

Gyminee Groups have been in need of some sprucing up, and now it has finally happened. We felt like groups didn’t do a good enough job of connecting users and also of providing motivation within a group setting. To address this we added some new stats.

The first thing you will see when you visit a group is a couple of leader boards, one that shows the “Top Exercisers” and one that shows the “Top Eaters”. These stats provide a way to know who is doing well with their fitness and nutrition, and also provide some incentive to do well yourself.

The next thing you will see is some aggregate statistics for the entire group. Currently the stats shown are total calories burned, total weight lost, and total distance traveled. I think this is really great information to see. It lets you know that you aren’t alone, and you can see the impact of multiple people all reaching for the same goals.

Enjoy!
