WHEN did fitday Change?!?!?
 

it must've just happened. By coincidence, I just bought Fitday PC online at the end of last week, so I wasn't using the free one. There are things I liked about the online version, but now it looks like fitday PC! I'm not a big fan of change (other than my weight or size! ;) )

It changed bt yesterday and today. I was kind of disappointed. I can't scroll to find foods that I had entered anymore. I have to click next and wait :( I also don't like change :P

I really love the new format and features, save for the fact that you have to go through page after page after page of custom foods. Other than that, it's a lot easier/quicker now. *shrugs*

I looked at fitday when I first started trying to manage my weight. I like thedailyplate more personally.

I -love- the new FitDay, particularly the "View my Recent Foods" function. Because of the way I structure my meals, my lunch one day is exactly the same as the dinner I had the night before. Because of the new function, I can go, click the checkboxes for all the components of my meal the night before, and add them at once. You could do that before, I guess, but the great thing about the change is that they are added in the SAME QUANTITIES. So I get my exact meal MUCH faster than before.

I don't like the Custom Food scrolling, but I'll adjust because of the new "Recent Foods" stuff. And they've added measurement and mood tracking, too, which are seriously good enhancements.

I noticed that their food database has been updated a bit, but not enough for it to rival the Daily Plate and other calorie counting sites. I think they should focus more on the database than on anything else... but I do like the new change. It will take some getting used to, however.

I like all of the new changes, but I can't figure out how to use the "mood tracking" system. It won't let me enter a mood anywhere.

Have any of you tried that feature and/or gotten it to work yet?

I think they fixed the Custom Food scrolling. And I also *love* that it remembers your quantities now. And I've been finding foods that weren't in the database before.

I think this is a lot easier to use than the old version. If you are looking for a food that you haven't eaten for several weeks, it is easy to find rather than trying to re-create it. I think they did a good job--I had all but stopped using it because it was so cumbersome. This is better.

And where else can you find the calorie counts for activities like "cooking Indian bread on an outside stove" or "caulking, chinking log cabin"? :lol3:

I like the new look - now that they fixed the custom foods list so I don't have to page and age and page. That was NOT pretty.

OOOHHHH! I just had a glance at it. I really like it. All my custom foods are on it. I haven't logged in since Aug 1st since I'm in LA, but I love it! it seems to offer more and it stored all the past weights I had over the last few years.

I haven't been counting calories lately, just tracking my weight at fitday and was I surprised this morning!
I like it I think. I always appreciated the recent foods thing and saving custom foods. The measurement thing is wonderful. And I like the weight log much better.

I've been on Fitday for so long I couldn't believe they just now updated it. I love it! lots of cool new features. The only thing I don't like is when I add a new custom food it won't let me specify beyond "1 seving" like Tbs or cup. I don't need the fancy mood crap. LOL!

You're right, that is annoying. However, you can work around it - instead of creating a new food, modify an existing one that has similar serving types to what you want.
