Hi all. So after getting some initial responses to my first post on using Traineo.com (thanks everyone), I’ve got an update from the Traineo Team themselves about the privacy/anonymous question. As it turns out I’m not the first one on the planet to notice the slight issue of having your weight loss goals being public knowledge, and the Traineo team has already addressed this. Here’s what they have to say….

“First of all, privacy

A lot of people are concerned that their names & weight loss goals are out there in the open - they are only out there if you choose for them to be. We support several levels of privacy, and if you go to your ‘about me’ tab, and click on Profile Visibility & Privacy you can make yourself invisible, or just hide your weight and goals. We’ve decided that this important feature isn’t really prominent enough, so we’ve integrated it into the signup process (some weeks ago), and we’re going to make the link more prominent.“

See now that takes all the fun out of it, I was just about to look up my old college buddy and see if he’s put on a few lbs, though I will definitely make my profile invisible now that I know. Cheers to Traineo to listening to their user base.
