We are currently having problem with our server, so you may experience problem using ShapeUp Club. These problems will affect the online search tool in the mobile apps, and the website.

We are so sorry for this, and our hosting company are  working on finding a solution to the problems!
Everything will hopefully be up and running properly again very soon.

In the meantime I can happily tell you that a fully improved website is on its way, and will be released in a couple of days.

Here’s a glimps of how the site will look like, we will tell you more about the features and improvements by the time its released.

Again, our apologizes for all the inconvenience  the server crash is causing you!
We are so sorry for this, and thank you so much for your patience.

Tuesday morning we noticed that the website was down so we called our hosting company to ask what was going on. They didn’t really know, but started working with the problems right away. 
After a while they found out that there was an error with a server and the domain ShapeUpClub.com had therefore stopped working.

The hosting company were able to solve this problem fast, BUT problems never seem to travel alone. When the first problem was solved we also noticed (and you aswell) that the site was crazy slow! 
It wasn’t even possible to load the diary page and the search-field in the iPhone app had also decided to stop working. Why?
The database behind ShapeUp Club had crashed and it took the whole day to get it back from the backup. But we did solve the problems, and now it is hopefully working properly. 

While working on fixing the database our hosting company noticed an error with the server which have made ShapeUp Club Online quite slow, now that this have been fixed the site should work a bit faster.

All these things took some time off our work with improving the website but now we can continue, and in some weeks you will see an improved diary and a faster way to add food!

We apologize for these problems and send you a huge thank you for your patience during the downtime, and please contact us if you have questions about this or anything else!

Sincerely
Martin and Tove

Thanks to you and the survey we now know what parts of the site you think needs improvement and what we should do.

We will look over most parts of the website but for now focus on the core, the diary and the way you add food. Since we are going to make a lot of changes we will add a page online where you can follow our work and read news.

And as usual, if you have any ideas or questions don’t hesitate to contact us!

Best Regards
Martin

So, all in all, very welcome to ShapeUp Club Online guys, we are thrilled to have you with us on our site!

I bought this hat as a storm protector, absolutely necessary of course.

Now, this blog isn’t a fashion blog, but still, here are my finds:

The afternoon and evening will now be spent on debugging the new sync for the upcoming version of ShapeUp Club mobile.

Look, I’m working so fast you can hardly see my hands! (Or am I just a really bad photographer?)

A lot of you have been annoyed at the removal of the custom measurement possibility when creating a new food. Perhaps Martin said this in a previous post, but it will re-emerge, hopefully improved, in the next update.
I will upload some pics of this as soon as we are happy with the way it works and looks =)

With my hopes that you will have a lovely Saturday!

But, just because something is tasty, does it have to be unhealthy?
In the forum our users, me and one of our bloggers Maik, who is a personal trainer in NY, discuss and share some of our best healthy dessert recipes.

What do you do if you get the cravings for something sweet, but still do not want to sneak away to the candy shelf?
Perhaps you can share your best recipes with us and your fellow ShapeUp Clubbers in the forum?
I’m sure you got a lot of healthy dessert tips, and I think it would be really fun to try to gather them all and share to all users. What do you think? Would you like a place on the website where you could find healthy recipies?

All the best!
Tove
