traineo announced today that they have launched "traineo groups." The basic idea is that you can build a group to help give you motivation, tips, help, insipiration for helping you get to your desired weight. This is a big part of SparkPeople's success is the group concept and I think if traineo can make it pretty, it will work even better for them.

I think traineo is the best weight application currently available, I gave it top honors in the Web Apps Fat-Off Challenge.

From the release:

Users are able to create traineo Groups using a fast and simple sign-up tool that even allows members to personalize their groups with unique color schemes and logos. Members of the traineo community are able to browse, join and view group details via a global group directory or directly via each group’s unique URL. Privacy options allow groups to be hidden or invite only, making traineo Groups the ideal starting place to organize a private family fitness team, inter-office ‘biggest loser’ challenge; or a hub for like-minded individuals to work together towards a common health and fitness goal.
