Say, is anybody else on Fitocracy? What do you think of it?

I have an account, but only since earlier today. I have a feeling that the gamer in me (so .... all of me, pretty much) will take to the concept quite readily.

[resolute]

Welp, I signed up for it. sigridellis, if you want to friend me.

[zanzando]

Added you! :)

What's Fitocracy?

[resolute]

It's a, a workout tracking social site?

Rewards you for completing quests, that sort of thing.

[alexseanchai]

Ah, 'kay.

[martyna]

Will you tell us at some point later whether it works for you? :)

[resolute]

I will!

[martyna]

Thanks!

Have they fixed the flaw pointed out in xkcd?

[resolute]

Hmm? I am not familiar with that to which you are referring?

HAH. I don't know, I haven't checked.

question, how do you get on fitocracy? I requested an invite, but it sounds like they won't be going out for a while?

[resolute]

Well, people who are on it can email invites ... I will invite you, if you let me know your email.

[panda]

oh really? sorry for the slow reply, but thanks so much! I will PM you my address.

I feel like it's been 20 years since I requested an invite from them, and still zilch. Can you tell me, can you also track nutrition there, or is it just workouts? I like to track both, but I've yet to find a site that I really love that does both well. (Fitday, for instance, has "walking to the outhouse" as an exercise option, not Pilates. WTF?!?)

[resolute]

No, they don't do nutrition tracking. I have found the exercises included to be a bit variable. There's not many assisted version of things like push-ups, and some martial arts -- Tai Chi -- are not available.
