I’ve been using Skinnyr since August (even blogged about it – http://viaspire.blogs.com/weblog/2006/08/a_beta_that_mak.html) and have turned on a lot of people to this great tracker. I’d love to find out how to get the BMI (and chart) recalibrated though. Right now it says I am 72.9 BMI with a great message WTF Girl? (which I totally love!) The only problem is at 5 feet tall I would pretty much be dead with this body fat comp. I know my BMI is 24.7 now. Will these minor bug fixes be part of the graph update as well? Keep up the great work Skinnyr and don’t lose that sense of humor. We love it!

Hey Heather,

I didn’t know we had a BMI bug. I’ll look into it as soon as I get a spare minute. Thanks much for the heads up.

And yeah, I knew some people would test the system by putting in that they weight 324235.2 lbs, so I added messages for the super duper extremes. :)

Thanks for the kind words! Glad to see you’re enjoying the site.

Thanks for the kind words, Allen.

As mentioned, Skinnyr is a simple site. Those are all great feature ideas, and we’ll be adding them in our next revision. That next revision should come when Skinnyr passes our FuelEmpire signups, or when I want a change of pace, whichever comes first.

Skinnyr isn’t a for-profit site, and as such the updates are a little slower than they would be if it had higher status within the company. We’ll get to it before too long though.

Also, there’s a rumor that a graph style update will be coming soon, but I can’t confirm that! :)

Hey Jimmy — Thanks for the follow up reply! I love the fact that you thought of everyone — even the “super duper extremes.” :) Ha! I’m feeling Skinnyr already as a result of your site! :) Thanks again!
