If you’re like me, you eat too much and don’t do a lot of exercise (If you’re really like me, you’ve actually picked up running but noticed your legs falling off and decided to forget the idea of looking like a modern-day Adonis in favour of, well, legs). Right, so to work against that development of no walk, much eat, a new service recently went online.
Traineo, a name that somehow doesn’t sound like a seasoned copy-writer’s idea, is a service that lets people sign up, add their stats, and then gives them the option of stating a desired weight. From then on, each day they sign in, they add their daily calories, workout and all sorts of other health/body/weight related things. They also offer the option of adding other people as motivators, so the whole thing really becomes one big, social weight-loss fest, on the way to everyone’s biggest goal: The desired weight!
The implementation of the service is very smooth, with an abundance of AJAX giving the whole thing a nice, rounded look (ha, pun intended!). Overall, the service is a nice addition to the lifehack-niche of Web2.0 services.
And hey, maybe it helps me in my quest to finally fit into my Rubyred Labs shirt.

Their homepage gives people a quick intro to the service.
The members section lets users add all sorts of information, from their work-out routine to up to ten motivators.
I just finished setting up my account. The twist is, I’m trying to gain weight, so I’m interested to see how traineo handles that.
We need to chat again soon man, it’s been too long.
Hi Nick
As of today, it’ll handle weight gain just fine - we’ve had quite a few people express an interest in that, and we’re working around the clock to add the most popularly requested features.
Cheers,
Maxwell
This is exactly what I expected to find out after reading the title id of fat with Traineo at tech.stormgrass. Thanks for informative article
