Statistics

[Ravenous]

We used to have statistics by our name e.g how much was starting weight, how much lost and BMI. That was very useful. Why was it stopped and is it possible to bring it back please.

 

[Ravenous]

Perhaps the more of us ask for this, the admin people might bring it back

I don't think admin are around on here any more.

Hi @Ravenous , I asked a while ago too and got now answer, I found it great have the percentage of bodyweight lost showing. I don't think any admin is around anymore, we seem to be alone and some of the extras not supported it seems. Are you able to update your ticker, I can't get mine to work.
I reckon one day the forum may just disappear

I'll be sad if Minimins disappears. I'm going to diary my progress here, again.

Yes I can update my ticker but takes a day to show on here

Yes I don't know what has happened. When I started using the platform back in 2012/13, there were lots of people of here but gradually fizzled out and now we are almost on our own - a handful of us. I wonder where everyone else has gone,

Didn't Pierce become a parent and say he'd have less time

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

I remember a lot of people not coming back after a huge crash. It really would be a shame: as others have said, I find the site super useful for diary purposes as much as anything. But also sharing ideas and inspiration.

 

[AliGal]

That's lovely Pierce has got a family.

Yes - Minimins a good place to track progress. I've not managed to sustain my weight losses. So I am back again. I know daily posting helps me stay on track. Somehow, I don't keep posting and then regain. I reckon I'll be shedding weight for 18 months - into 2026.

According to this the company was to close 26th February 2024. Therefore we have been on our own for a year. I am surprised that if the company closed why didn't take the site down.

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Possibly to do with the domain still being active - we may find that when that ends, so does the site... a quick look suggests it's due to expire mid-April this year

 

[tipperary]

Ok, do we have a back up plan. I'm not about to set up a forum but is there somewhere we can move enmass to

 

[Ravenous]

Yes we need a plan as like the rest of you I'd like to continue with my diary.

I am not interested in chitchat but occassional interaction and keeping a record of my food & activities.

 

[tipperary]

I like my diary, it has 8 years of my life

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Yes - me too. I'm not sure about alternatives. I assume there are still blogging sites, but they wouldn't give us the same functionality. I'm wracking my brain, because I'm sure people went to AN Other forum during the Big Crash... but I can't remember what it was called, and no idea if it was still going

 

[tipperary]

I'm on another one but it's strictly a Ketogenic forum and not as chatty

 

[Torn_Tranquility]

Will have a mooch around some other forums and see what I can find. I think the advent of social media has killed off a lot of the forum based sites. An initial ask of Co-Pilot through up a few, but they seemed to very American!

I'm trying out mumsnet - I haven't seen anyone doing a diary there - more actively commenting on threads, with specialist threads for 10 stone, people starting in months etc for different weight loss plans. It seems friendly - but I do want a supportive place for a diary.
