The ShapeUp Blog

Hey!
Remember my last post?
I got a mail from Maik about it, and he also wanted me to add that these scales measure the content of water in your body. If you drink or sweat before using them you will get different readings. So the best thing to do is to always use the scale at the same time, every time.

Another tip is to weigh yourself the first thing in the morning, before you eat or drink anything, this will give the most accurate numbers.
And remember! It’s just numbers on a display, don’t care to much about it! The most important thing is that you are healthy and feel good! Don’t become a slave of the scale! =)

Try to weigh yourself at the same time, every time. (Sorry about the socks, its cold in Sweden…)

If you have any questions and post them as comments here on my blog I (or Martin) will answer them also as a comment under the post you asked your question. Hope this is ok!
So, “Allison” and “Eklund”, Martin has answered your questions under the “ScaleUp” post.
A few days back we did some technical changes to these blogs, and a few comments got deleted. Extremely sorry about that!
But I do remember one comment from a person who wanted to know if his old data from the ShapeUp Club application also would be synced with the website.
Yes! It will. All your previous information will be synced and saved on shapeupclub.com when or if you decide to also join us online.

Hmm, hmm, anything else I wanted to tell you?
No news from Apple, and as Martin said, they are probably doing their best and might be short staffed since it is still holidays. But hopefully ShapeUp Club 2.0 will be released soon!
I don’t know how many readers there are here, but I guess not so many since the website is a quit boring place to spend time at right now. (Except for the light Maik, Scott and Maria are bringing to ShapeUp Club, thanks guys!)

Still, is there anything special you would like to know or perhaps see from ShapeUp Club?
Since we simply are waiting for Apples approval we try to use the time wisely and are therefore planning for future features.
Let us know if you have any special wishes or ideas for ShapeUp Club! We will welcome all your thoughts with open arms, and try to fulfill as much as possible!
All for now!

Still nothing from Apple…

BUT, at least I can show you what I bought a few days ago.
(Sorry for the delay, I got caught up in designing a button for a new feature for the online service).

As said in the last post, we have received a lot of emails where you have asked us to also make it possible to track your muscle mass, water consistency and body fat (which we added a while back, and it’s therefore possible to track with the iPhone app).
You told me that you had scales that told you all this information about your bodies, amazing =)

Of course I also wanted to get in on all this fun, so I bought a scale that could do all these things.

I really like it, and perhaps it can be a real good motivation while losing/gaining weight or maybe building muscles! You can of course manage a very successful weight loss without this type of scale, a regular one will work just fine. If you follow your Calorie Plan I can assure that you will reach your goal.
Anyway, here’s a picture without me on it.

But all in all, it’s a quit funny weight loss tool, and with the online service you can track up to five different body measurements. So perhaps I will choose to also track my muscle mass and water consistency on my ShapeUp Club Online account.

Yes, this is how your Profile looks online. We have some plans to change the design, but for now this the Body Measurements part of the Profile.
I’m really looking forward when you can start use it and tell me your opinions on the design and functionalities! Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be soon!

Yours truly,
Tove

Now I’ve been waiting and waiting for weeks to be able to greet you all welcome to ShapeUp Club Online. Open the doors to this website and get this all started, once and for all!

But Apple hasn’t yet approved the new update, and we have no idea what the hold up is about.
Last night we realized that they have submitted the 2.0 versions picture on App Store in the United States, but not in any other country, and also without the possibility to actually download the update. Very weird.
Therefore we sent them an email asking why it is taking so long, and what’s up with the pictures?!
Still no answers, but I will tell you as soon as they tell us.

My idea was to start blogging when everything was ready and released. But since it’s taking forever and I don’t want to wait anymore, I will instead use this blog to tell you everything about this delay and let you all be as updated about the situation as we are.

Also, I bought something today I know a lot of you use to keep track of your weight and bodies.
I think I will go and take some pictures of it and show you what it is in the next post! Be right back!
