Change Username.

I understand allowing people to change their username a limited number of times, but I clearly made a mistake choosing my username and would really like a shorter one. Allowing people only one chance to make a mistake goes against the fitness journey as a whole.
I thought it was funny at the time, but I've used this app and the same account for a large number of years and even lost over 60lbs in total, but I want my information linked to a username that reflects who I am RIGHT NOW and I, like everyone in the health and fitness process change over time.
I'm asking for a feature that allows you to change your username, that's all. Even possibly allow veteran app users at least 1 extra renaming.

@FriendlyNeighborhoodRumHam I provided you with another username change. FYI, you can message our support team for help with this whenever you want.
