At Nutracheck, we are constantly looking for ways to develop our app to benefit our members and help them with their weight goals.
One feature we recently launched was account sharing: an element of the app which gives individuals the ability to share their diary with up to 7 other Nutracheck members, helping them to motivate each other on their journeys and keeping one another accountable.
Fred, and her friend Phillis, began using the account sharing feature earlier in 2024 after both deciding they wanted to make some changes to their lifestyles.
I’ve used Nutracheck for a couple of years – before this, I’d tried it all: Slimming World, Weight Watchers, and the rest, but never with any lasting success.
For both Phillis and I, our goal is to lose weight. Phillis is pre-diabetic, and I’m approaching the menopause so have seen my weight creeping up. I’ve also been trying to quit smoking at the same time, and generally get fitter alongside my weight loss goals.
We’re doing well – it’s still early days for our weight loss journey together, but already we’re looking and feeling so much better than we did. We both feel healthier and fitter, which is inspiring us to keep going. I’m particularly enjoying hitting my fruit and veg targets every day – I get an absolute minimum of five a day now – plus I’m doing more exercise and training now than ever before which feels great.
We use the feature to spur each other on. Being able to check in on each other’s food choices, portion sizes and progress is really helping us stay motivated, particularly as Phillis does a lot of travelling so we can’t always catch up in person. I also quit drinking about 9 months ago, so knowing that my friend can keep an eye on this aspect of my diary too is a great help.
I’d say the feature has made a huge difference! To be able to encourage each other, and be on this journey together makes the whole thing more enjoyable and – most importantly – makes me feel like I can stick to my goals, rather than the many short-term diets I’ve tried before.
