The Fit Squad has had a makeover!
After a week of final tweaks and changes, we are now proud to unveil your new and improved Fit Squad diet site.
The biggest change you'll notice to your site is that when you log in, you'll have your very own profile, where you can upload pictures, trace your activity levels with detailed and colourful charts, and document the foods you have eaten during the day as well as continue to use the menu planner. We will even calculate the calories you have eaten and burnt each day.
Food
Once you have signed in, you can enter your food preferences and we will continue to make menu suggestions for you based on your choices.
We've still got our library of yummy low-calorie recipes that you won't find elsewhere - perfect for a healthy dinner party or cooking up a storm for the family and they all come with a calorie counter to keep you on track.
Fitness
We've made it really simple to calculate how fit you are getting and how many calories you have burned when you enter how much exercise you've done each day - even the housework counts! To show you how well you're doing, we've devised a nifty graph to instantly show how active you've been.
Community
We know how important support is to achieving your weight loss goal and so we've made the new site much more community focused. You can write a blog to tell us all how you're getting on or email your friends with words of encouragement.
We hope you love the new site as much as we do, and we know it may take you a little bit of time to get used to all the changes and improvements, so here is a quick guide to answer your questions.
CAN I USE MY OLD EMAIL ADDRESS AND PASSWORD TO LOG ON?
Yes, this should work fine but if you do have any problems please just email us on customerservices@fitsquad.co.uk.
I HAVE LOST MY PASSWORD, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IT IS?
We cannot retrieve your password for you, however we can give you a new one when you agree to the terms and conditions of the upgraded site.
WHERE IS MY ACTIVATION, FORGOTTEN PASSWORD EMAIL?
If you are expecting to receive an activation or forgotten password email and not yet received it please check your SPAM folder. Some mail providers offer different levels of mail filtering that you may have applied in your mail preferences.
WHAT ABOUT MY PRIVACY SETTINGS?
We at the Fit Squad take your privacy very seriously. As part of the redesign we have made a number of enhancements to your privacy settings by adding who can see your profile, who can message you, find you in search together with who can see and comment against your blogs. Existing Fit Squad members once logged on please take 5 minutes to review your privacy settings under your profile page, alternatively if you have any questions please contact customerservices@fitsquad.co.uk
AM I STILL ALLOWED TO EAT THE SAME THINGS?
Although the diet is very similar and combines all our knowledge, we have made some changes so that it is more effective and hopefully easier to understand.
We now allow you a certain number of calories per day (dependent on your BMI and other factors) and the diet is based on calorie counting and healthy eating.
The diet is very similar, the recipes are unchanged, and you will see that your meal plan now includes delicious snacks.
CAN I STILL ACCESS THE FORUMS?
Yes you can. We have redesigned our Forums and also introduced Groups.
Groups is a new community feature allowing you to find other people just like you and what your interested in. You can create an Open group allowing any one to take part, a Close group where people need to join or create a Private group and invite a select few to discuss about issues in private. All groups can have multiple managers to monitor its activity together with having your own dedicated forum to be used for discussions.
Forums have been redesigned to make it easy for users to get involved and get talking about what they like, dislike and most of all how their diet is going.
Both our groups and forums are monitored by our moderation team 24 hours aday 7 days aweek. If you see any content you are unhappy with simply use the Report Abuse link and tell us what the issue is and it will be investigated as soon as possible and removed if we feel its inappropriate for the site.
WHERE IS MY PREVIOUS WEEKS MEAL PLAN?
The meal plan has been rebuilt from the ground up. Due to the switch from a GI to a calorie based diet allot of the data has had to be reworked and was felt that starting fresh was a safer option to help you with your diet plan.
We still have all your data stored and available on request. Please email customerservices@fitsquad.co.uk detailing your name, username, email address to allow us to verify your identity.
IS IT STILL FREE?
Yes, free as a bird, don't worry.
