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 Phillis

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.

How long have you and your friend been using Nutracheck? (How did you discover it – did one of you start using the app first?)

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.

What are your goals?

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.

Fred and Phillis

How are you both getting on?

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.

What do you use the account sharing feature for?

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.

What difference has account sharing made to your journey together?

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.
