It seems with the selfie because of the time taken for changes to show-up that people might get demotivated in the interim.

Have you considered doing the same for food instead ?

That is having people take photos of all their meals and automatically sharing with their friends, to encourage eating healthier (soft competition) and making people think more about what they eat because it'll be broadcast.

That would seem more conducive towards a "real-time" feedback loop.

@ig1 - Completely agree with you. The great thing about progress pics is that you can motivate yourself to shoot a better next week, and also be inspired by what other REAL people have actually achieved. Real results definitely do take time though.

Users can post food pics, photo updates, and other text updates on the app. These actually make up a higher % of the posts on the app today.

Really great to see people supporting other like minded people on all sorts of posts!

@ig1 that app exists (I'm the CEO). It's called TwoGrand. You should check it out! iPhone: http://bit.ly/TwoGrandiPhone, and Android: http://bit.ly/TwoGrandAndroid.

And @rwu721, the Weilos refresh is super clean. Well done.

Thx @petersimones. Really great job on your app as well!
Did I miss the sarcasm or why do you use the @ in threaded discussions?
