Wish you had option to remove the Calorie Coach THUMB box.
I wish you could chose to show or not show the calorie coach thumb box on your my account page. i find it distracts me, worries me and even when doing really good it will still be down. This would be a nice option to have it not shown if we wanted.
Some of use were posting about this a couple weeks ago because we're in agreement with you.
Since then, I've reached maintenance. Even on days that I weigh my exact maintenance weight, the thumb stays down. I'm wondering if it's waiting for my trend-line to stay consistent at my maintenance weight?? Right now my daily weight matches my maintenance goal, but my trend line is a pound and a half above that.
Anyway, It's cracking me up. "booo, thumbs down for you! You're successfully maintaining your goal weight. Bad job! booo!"
Mostly I ignore it...or laugh at it.
hear, hear!
hear, hear!
I agree! I just started on this site a month ago, and had not updated my weight, and the thumb stayed up since I started. Then I just updated my weight, I lost 8lbs, 42 more to go, but I was still happy! and my thumb was down...what's up with that?
I agree! Yesterday my weight was up 3 lbs (retaining some water!) and I got a thumbs up. Today, my weight was back to normal and I got a thumbs down!
My trend line is still going down too, and I'm still on track to meet my goal weight almost a month before my goal date.
I'm all out of ideas.
The Thumb obviously works on too broad of a calculation if it is confusing infrequent data entry with too great of a one time loss or female ebb and flow water retention. This should be fixable. In the meantime, it is very detrimental to be given a thumbs down when you are doing things right and it would be nice to disable it - or to have other options besides a thumb - perhaps a choice of a daily affirmation?
Just for kicks, I logged my weight as 3 lbs heavier than it really was today, and I got a thumbs up again! Weird!
