in Chit-Chat
I just started using Fitocracy, and I really like the way you track work outs and the quest/ achievement / leveling up aspect of it. I'd like some more friends there to interact with, I don't have any intention of leaving MFP this, so far seems like a fun site. Here is my link http://ftcy.me/Phs9xB or search my name McBully

    Been meaning to get back to this site and use it more too. I<m a geek and the level system is pretty interesting :) I<ll add you soon mister Bully! My name there is also Masterdo, if you find me first.

    Maybe it was me being on it very late night with like 2 days of no sleep but when I tried it, it just seemed horrible user unfriendly and I just didn't liked it *shrug*

    The UI changed quite substantially recently. I have not explored it fully yet, but it might be worth a second look for you too :)

    The concept is pretty cool for motivation!

    I liked it for a while. Liked the concept. The iPhone app was a bit clunky. It became tedious to log both there and here on MFP, and so I eventually dropped it. A couple of the groups there turned me off. But, that's life. When they opened it up to the public it became even more of a turn off at that point... it was nicer until it became flooded.

    The ui is a bit overwhelming at first, but seems fairly simple to navigate.

    Found you. However, I'm not sure I'll be there very often because I usually rely on APIs talking to each other. My fitbit isn't an option.

    Oh yeah, and NO ANDROID. Love when they ignore the worldwide leading installed platform altogether.

    This was a bummer for me too, but they are working on it.

    Sad for me too...

    Found out that a few work colleagues use it regularly, I might stick with it this time :p

    I found a group for convict conditioning too, will probably help since I have no plan on doing weightlifting anytime soon. Body-weight for the win :p

    I was thinking the same thing, but I just can't seem to make it work. I've gone back a few times, thinking it'd be cool if it worked... But I just can't get past the complete level of suck their web site throws at me. :(

    Half the activities I do aren't there, tracking weight lifting routines using similar activities is just painful, and more often than not the little robot pops up with "Calculating..." and it never finishes.

    It's not easy enough to be fun, and it's not good enough to be a serious tool for tracking exercise, so...

    What am I missing? :)
